Sleepwalking Ballad
Sleepwalking Reflections: A Soul's Journey through Mistakes
Lyrics
I can't take the world mama
I feel overwhelmed by the world, mom
Pass me another (hush)
Pass me another drink (hush)
I can't take the world
Reiteration of feeling unable to cope with the world
Pass me another (hush)
Another request for a drink (hush)
You know you are
Acknowledging a state of confusion or intoxication
Stumbling, falling down
Describing a state of stumbling and falling
Dear mama,
Addressing the speaker's mother
I can't stand up
Expressing an inability to stand up, possibly due to intoxication
I went in to the wrong house last night
Admitting to entering the wrong house the previous night
I crawled into the wrong bed
Revealing crawling into the wrong bed
I crawled into the wrong bed
Repetition of crawling into the wrong bed for emphasis
You know I,
Admitting to kissing the wrong woman
Kissed the wrong woman
Confession to friends about the mistake
I tell the boys
Indicating an error in choosing a romantic partner
You know I got the wrong hair
Acknowledging a mistake in choosing a partner's appearance
I have had all my fun in this world
Reflecting on past pleasures and experiences
All I got left is, is me
Realizing that all that remains is the self
I have had all my fun and
Reiteration of having had all the fun in this world
(In this world)
Recognition that only the self is left
All I got left is, is me
Reiteration that only the self remains
There it is
Pointing out a significant realization or event
Like a mountain
Comparing the realization to a mountain, suggesting its magnitude
We're standing in front of me
Describing a metaphorical presence in front of the speaker
I'd like to
Expressing gratitude or acknowledgment to a girl
Thank you
Thanking the girl for something unspecified
To the girl who
Addressing a specific girl and expressing gratitude
What's your first name?
Asking for the girl's first name
Five, four, forgot
Numbers possibly indicating a countdown or forgetfulness
Yeah
Confirmation of forgetfulness or uncertainty
