Cover art for Abram lyrics by José González

jose gonzalez says that this song was the result of "the god delusion" by richard dawkins. abram means all the abrahamic religions which are judism, christianity and islam. these monotheistic religions are irrational, oppressive and create conflict. go to sleep means he wishes they would stop "sleepwalking" and just end.

Nietzche maybe?
