Taken by Sleep Lyrics

Cover art for Taken by Sleep lyrics by Tyler Joseph

This is actually about a classmate of Tyler's that committed suicide. When I first heard this, song and the meaning I actually bawled my eyes out. The pain he goes through and everything he had witness just breaks my heart and I just honestly feel so bad, the lyrics, the tone, it sounds like and we all know that he would do anything to get that classmate back and i feel that just leaves him with the feeling that it was something he did because that's what i get sometimes. "And I can't believe it has to be this way you know we say it seems to me like it was just the other day i saw your face, i saw your light, you ran the race, you fought the fight" This means so much, the way he worded this how he/she fought and it seems like they couldn't take it anymore, and he still remembers them, "Somebody told me they saw you cry and break down Do you know how hard that is to get around and think about" Saying that Tyler cares so deeply for them to see them just the little bit of sad or upset gets himself upset and whenever he thinks about this, it hurts him. "4:05 with teary eyes and then i write this song" I think that he might've found out during the night, and then it hits him at that time and begins writing? (i'm also sorry if my spelling isn't that good i'm crying while writing this but i'll be ok (: ) I want to say so much more but i don't want to keep this going for much longer. :)) Stay alive my frens |-/
