Sleep

This song to me, is about this feeling you can't let go of. This someone who you can't erase from your mind, let alone your heart. And even though you try the memories are there and if you could only find someway to forget that someone, you would try. You would sleep forever to forget him/her.

It hurts for him to think about the girl because he can't have her. Hence the "but, " in the first line. He can only have her in his dreams, that why he wants to sleep forever. So he can be with her forever and forget about everything else.

When you're depressed you usually want to sleep. When you sleep, you escape reality and don't have to deal with your feelings, however in his dreams he sees "her", his love interest. She's the one causing him this depression, this longing to sleep to forget about everything.

He wants to sleep forever to escape her, but there's no escape.

i agree with the depressed wanting to sleep, but her being in his dreams. after 5 years my ex left over the weekend with no warning and i went from sleeping like 7 hours, to sleeping about 10 to 13 hours a day, and waking up literally every hour because every dream was always about her. you dont want to be awake at all, but you cant even escape with sleep. its pretty lame lol

Simple and straight to the point with a very beautiful melody. I love how the person above me described it as having a "hazy, sleepy kind of drunk mood" because that's exactly how it feels, I just never could find the words to describe it.

i think you have to listen to this song stoned to appreciate it properly.

because i'm such a major stoner and like nothing better than to get high and lie down and clear my mind and just feel things, this song really appeals to me. because this is a feeling song. its about letting go of reality and being absorbed by one emotion. incredibly powerful.

so few words, such a powerful song i love this song so much

The instrumental in this song shows longing, someone who's tired and wanting to forget someone he/she has fallen apart from. The lyrics tell us that the person wants to get some sleep due to feeling tired, and if they could, they would. However it's always about her/him when he/she dreams.

More than that, the song is about moving on. The person would be able to sleep, if only they could move on.

This is such an awesome song. I think kayemp3 did a good job with the meaning. Keep up the good work ^.~

Beautiful Song! you want to forget about this person and he or she is even in your dreams.. so theres no way out!.. its everywhere
