Lyrics
Just close your eyes to erase all the best dreams
Encouraging someone to ignore or forget their best dreams by closing their eyes.
And this quiet refrain is never what it seems
The calm and soothing part of the song's melody contrasts with its actual meaning.
It's five AM in a counterfeit sleep
Describing a state of artificial sleep at 5 AM.
I can't believe that I'm still counting sheep
The person is struggling to fall asleep and is counting sheep to aid sleep.
With her mind full blown edged in bright warning red
Refers to someone's mind overwhelmed with intense warning signals.
With voices in her head
There are multiple conflicting thoughts or voices in the person's mind.
I am close to it now to remembering
Close to recalling memories, possibly distressing ones.
All those dark desert clouds and how the torrent stream
Recalling past difficult situations or experiences.
Flooded our heels with a water so deep
The past experiences were deeply affecting.
I can't believe that you still fell asleep
The other person fell asleep despite the challenging situation.
With a mind full blown etched in light morning red
Similar to line 5, describing someone's overwhelmed mind in the morning.
With all that we have said
Reflecting on past conversations or exchanges.
You passed out cold on the deep waters edge
Someone passed out at a precarious place near deep water.
You must have bumped your head
Speculation that the person might have hit their head.
Don't be afraid
An encouragement to not be afraid despite the situation.
Forget it all
Encouragement to forget everything.
Keep it all to yourself
Suggesting to keep things private or hidden.
Once you awake
Once awake, suggesting to retrieve everything and keep it.
Get it all keep it on your shelf
Encouraging someone to gather and safeguard their experiences or memories.
I kiss the mud and the leaves and the trees embrace me
Expressing a connection with nature through physical contact.
With the mountains lying down at the sea I would sleep
A desire to rest or sleep peacefully amidst natural surroundings.
