Sleep with the Lights On
Sleeping with Shadows: A Better Hand's Melodic Reflections
Lyrics
Cause I sleep with the lights on ever since I came down slowly yeah
Coping with a personal struggle, the speaker sleeps with the lights on as a result of a gradual decline.
Paint me how you aim please, tell me how you hate me ooooohhhh
Desiring an honest portrayal, the speaker asks to be painted with sincerity and is open to hearing about negative feelings.
It's a shame how every year is just another year
Expressing disappointment in the repetitive nature of each passing year.
But I'm still here, I'm still here
Despite challenges, the speaker remains resilient and is still present.
And I hate how every day is just another another day
Disliking the monotony of daily life, each day feels like just another day for the speaker.
You can't stay, You can't stay
Acknowledging the transient nature of things, the speaker recognizes that one cannot stay in a particular situation.
Keeping on cause when it comes around it goes around, all around all around
Emphasizing the cyclical nature of life, events come around and go around.
Got a Picture in my pocket when I'm feeling down
Using a picture as a source of comfort during difficult times.
Just let me feel this one last time
Seeking a moment of solace, the speaker wants to experience a particular feeling one last time.
Cause I sleep with the lights on ever since I came down slowly yeah
Reiterating the impact of the speaker's decline on their sleep habits.
Paint me how you aim please, tell me how you hate me ooooohhhh
Asking for an honest portrayal and feedback, even if it involves hatred.
Stop now let your guard down everybody fall out, erase me
Encouraging vulnerability by asking others to let their guard down and expressing a desire to be erased from their lives.
I guess time doesn't change things acting like you phase me
Noticing that time doesn't necessarily bring about change and feeling unaffected by attempts to hurt the speaker.
I don't change reluctantly
Stating a resistance to change, not willing to change easily.
Its such a scam you see
Describing life as deceptive or fraudulent.
I'm living in a daydream
Living in a fantasy or unrealistic world.
Somebody better wake me
Expressing a desire for someone to wake the speaker from their current state.
Fall apart from the doubt and now its getting me down
Feeling broken due to doubt and struggling to rise after being accustomed to a low point.
So hard to get up when you're used to the ground
Highlighting the difficulty of getting up when one is used to being down.
It's clear that I should've known
Realizing a mistake or oversight but still feeling isolated.
And yet I feel all alone
Experiencing loneliness despite the recognition of an error.
Cause I sleep with the lights on ever since I came down slowly yeah
Reaffirming the impact of the speaker's decline on their sleep habits.
Paint me how you aim please, tell me how you hate me ooooohhhh
Asking for an honest portrayal and feedback, even if it involves hatred.
Stop now let your guard down everybody fall out erase me

You claim I waste my time
Challenging the perception that the speaker is wasting time.
Its not what I had in mind
Expressing dissatisfaction with the current situation not aligning with the speaker's expectations.
Resentment is all you'll find
Anticipating negativity and resentment from others.
Believe me, believe me
Asserting the existence of resentment and asking for belief in the speaker's perspective.
You claim I waste my time
Challenging the perception that the speaker is wasting time.
Its not what I had in mind

Let go of all that pride
Encouraging the release of pride as a means of resolution.
Get even, get even
Urging reciprocity in resolving conflicts.
Cause I sleep with the lights on ever since I came down slowly yeah
Reiterating the impact of the speaker's decline on their sleep habits.
Paint me how you aim please, tell me how you hate me, Tell me how you hate me
