Cover art for Sleep lyrics by Poets Of The Fall

I think this song is definitely talking about mentality. Someone’s state of mind or an internal unsettling, possibly an addiction of some sort. The meaning works with a drug addiction; “you cannot help showing them in”, “they will take control of you”, “try as you might, you try to give it up”. I have found it hard to interpret this song, and I think I am still fumbling around in the dark in terms of meanings xD (the other comments have given me more of an insight though (: ) Personally, I don’t think this is one of Poets’ best songs. The piano is amazing, and Marko’s voice is soothing and mellow, but I think it is slightly lacking something.
