Cover art for Asleep in Perfection lyrics by Augie March

Actually, i think he's writing about unrequited love. 'A souls misdirection', directed at a married woman. The first few lines sounds like he's flying out of town.

'You were a girl, now you're a wife Do not these memories stir you From your long and peaceful night's'

Perhaps they'd once been together, when she was younger. Sounds like he's kind curious how she can sleep so peacefully when he's yearning.
