Lyrics
How do you sleep at night
Questioning how the person can find peace in their conscience
Do you take prescription meds
Inquiring about the use of prescription drugs
Do they counteract the horror
Asking if the drugs help alleviate the guilt or horror they feel
That you feel so guilty for
Referring to a sense of guilt that causes distress
Does it bother you anymore
Questioning if the guilt still affects them
Just water under the bridge
Minimizing the significance of past issues
Other people's lives are not your concern
Asserting that the lives of others are not their concern
When you lie awake at night
Asking if they reflect on their actions during sleepless nights
Do you worry about the people you harm
Questioning whether they worry about causing harm to others
Or just about your money
Asking if their concern is primarily about money
Just about what you can buy
Highlighting a focus on materialistic pursuits
Oh I hope you can't sleep
Expressing a desire for them to experience sleeplessness
Your thoughts are filled with horrible emotions
Imagining their thoughts filled with negative emotions
Not because I want you to suffer
Clarifying the wish for them to care, not suffer
I just want you to care
Reiterating the desire for them to care about their actions
Oh I hope you can't sleep
Repeating the hope for their sleepless nights
Your thoughts are filled with horrible emotions
Reiterating the idea of their thoughts being troubling
Not because I want you to suffer
Re-emphasizing the wish for them to care, not suffer
I just want you to care
Restating the desire for them to care about consequences
I just want you to care
Affirming the central plea for them to care
There must have been a time when
Suggesting a time when the person was more emotionally present
You weren't so hollow inside
Highlighting a perceived emptiness within the individual
People liked to see you
Recalling a time when others enjoyed their company
People could call you a friend
Noting a loss of friendly relationships
What happened over those years
Questioning the transformation over the years
Did you trade compassion for power
Suggesting a possible trade-off between empathy and power
Was it all about the money
Posing a question about the motivating factor—money
Or do you just love to hurt
Wondering if they derive satisfaction from causing harm
When you lie awake at night
Repeating the theme of restless contemplation at night
Do you worry about the people you harm
Asking if their concern extends to the harm they inflict
Or just about your money
Reiterating the focus on money and materialism
Just about what you can buy
Emphasizing a preoccupation with what can be purchased
Oh I hope you can't sleep
Expressing the hope for their troubled sleep
Your thoughts are filled with horrible emotions
Imagining their thoughts filled with negative emotions
Not because I want you to suffer
Clarifying the wish for them to care, not suffer
I just want you to care
Reiterating the desire for them to care about their actions
Oh I hope you can't sleep
Repeating the hope for their sleepless nights
Your thoughts are filled with horrible emotions
Reiterating the idea of their thoughts being troubling
Not because I want you to suffer
Re-emphasizing the wish for them to care, not suffer
I just want you to care
Restating the desire for them to care about consequences
I just want you to care
Affirming the central plea for them to care
I just want you to care
Reiterating the central theme of desiring their care
I just want you to care
Concluding with a repetition of the plea for them to care
