Sorrow's Leavin' Town
Embracing Dreams: Sorrow's Silent Departure
Lyrics
There's nothing new to me
Expressing familiarity with experiences; nothing is new.
I've seen it al before
Having encountered similar situations in the past.
In real life or on TV
Observing events in both reality and through media.
When someone closes another door
Noting the closing of opportunities or relationships by others.
And I don't wanna be blind
Desiring awareness even if it brings discomfort.
To things I'm not supposed to see
Avoiding ignorance of certain realities.
And I don't wanna be part
Rejecting involvement in unimportant matters.
of what ain't important anymore
Choosing not to engage in irrelevant issues.
I don't wanna lose the fight
Refusing to succumb to challenges from a world causing pain.
To a world that's hurting me
Resisting the negative impact of the surrounding world.
I just wanna say goodnight,
Expressing a desire for peaceful departure through sleep.
And drift away in dreams
Seeking solace and escape in dreams.
Let me sleep, when things are going down Let me sleep, when there is no one left around Who gives a damn about anything
Yearning for rest during difficult times, ignoring external concerns.
Pink sunrises, or birds that sing
Disregarding the beauty of nature in times of distress.
Let me sleep till sorrow's leaving town Let me sleep till sorrow's leaving town
Repeating the desire for sleep until sorrow departs.
To hide away sometimes
Viewing seclusion as a strategy.
Looks like a plan you see
Recognizing the efficacy of hiding from troubles.
But it takes just a little time
Acknowledging that it takes time for difficulties to find.
Till the bad news is finding me
Anticipating the eventual arrival of bad news.
I don't wanna lose the fight
Reiterating the resistance against a hurtful world.
To a world that's hurting me
Persisting in the fight against a challenging environment.
I just wanna say goodnight,
Expressing the wish for a peaceful departure into dreams.
And drift away in dreams
Desiring an escape from reality through sleep.
Let me sleep, when things are going down Let me sleep, when there is no one left around Who gives a damn about anything
Repeating the plea for rest during difficult times.
Pink sunrises, or birds that sing
Disregarding the significance of pleasant experiences.
Let me sleep till sorrow's leaving town Let me sleep till sorrow's leaving town Let me sleep till sorrow's leaving town
Persisting in the desire for sleep until sorrow dissipates.
