Died In My Sleep
Awakening from Despair: The Revelation within 'Died In My Sleep'
Lyrics
I see now
The speaker has gained understanding or insight.
We're all that's left
Everyone else has departed or is no longer present.
I can't begin to hold my breath
The speaker feels overwhelmed and unable to remain calm.
For something else
They can't hold their breath or wait for something different.
We gave in
They surrendered or gave in to something.
Gave up on hope
Hope was abandoned or lost.
We left them length enough in rope
Others were left with enough freedom to save themselves.
To free themselves
Others were given the opportunity to break free.
Then I woke to find you here
The speaker awakened to discover someone present.
I felt the light
The speaker felt an uplifting sensation or hope.
Saw you take the fire inside
They witnessed someone embracing passion or determination.
Break the silence wide
The silence was shattered or disrupted.
I thought I died
The speaker believed they experienced death.
Died in my sleep
They felt like they died during their sleep.
How can this be?
They question the reality of this experience.
Died
Reiteration of feeling deceased.
Died in my sleep
Reiteration of questioning the experience of death during sleep.
How can this be?
Continued questioning the reality of the experience.
No witness
No one present to observe or bear testimony.
No means to end
No way or method to put an end to something.
We cannot wait to keep this in
There's urgency to not delay in addressing a situation.
To free ourselves
To liberate ourselves, action is necessary.
