Lyrics
Told him once
Telling someone previously
Don't wake up
Do not disturb or awaken
The stars aren't shining quite enough
Feeling the stars' illumination isn't sufficient
The raindrops fall
Describing rain falling
And the moon is bright
The moon's brightness
But I can't sleep
Difficulty in sleeping due to mental unrest
Cause my head ain't right
Struggling with mental health issues affecting sleep
I think of all the beautiful things
Thinking about wonderful things, but not pursuing them
I will never try
Choosing not to attempt or experience beautiful things
I race across my dreams at night
Acting out dreams vigorously, fearing death
Cause I don't wanna die
Expressing a fear of mortality
I hate staying up late at night
Disliking being awake late at night due to emotions
Cause I just wanna cry, cry, cry
Desiring to cry repeatedly
Lift me up
Asking to be uplifted significantly
Higher than the sky
Requesting to be elevated beyond limits
Let me fall
Allowing oneself to fall again
And aim a little better this time
Desiring a more precise aim in life
Lift me up
Asking for a substantial boost in spirits
Higher than the sky
Requesting to be raised to great heights emotionally
Told him once
Repeating a previous statement about letting go
Let me go
Expressing a desire to be released
My heart's just beating
Feeling a slowed heartbeat
Pretty slow
Describing a sense of diminished vitality
The fun of life
Stating that enjoyable aspects of life lose appeal
Don't hit the same
When enthusiasm diminishes due to mental health issues
When manic minds
Describing a struggle between mental states and societal judgment
Are met with shame
Struggling with shame associated with mental fluctuations
I think of all the beautiful things
Thinking about beautiful things without pursuing them
I will never try
Choosing not to attempt or experience beauty in life
I race across my dreams at night
Acting out dreams vigorously, fearing death
Cause I don't wanna die
Expressing a fear of mortality
I hate staying up late at night
Disliking being awake late at night due to emotions
Cause I just wanna cry, cry, cry
Desiring to cry repeatedly
Lift me up
Requesting significant emotional elevation again
Higher than the sky
Asking to be raised above usual emotional limits
Let me fall
Allowing oneself to fall again
And aim a little better this time
Desiring a more precise aim in life
Lift me up
Requesting a substantial boost in spirits
Higher than the sky
Requesting to be raised to great heights emotionally
I can't sleep
Reiteration of inability to sleep due to mental unrest
Cause my head ain't right
Expressing difficulty in finding peace due to mental state
I can't sleep
Reiteration of the inability to sleep
In the dead of night
Struggling to sleep during late night hours
