Lyrics
The big sleep The long goodbye
The reference to "The big sleep" and "The long goodbye" suggests themes of death and parting.
Drink yourself to sleep tonight
Encouragement to escape or numb one's troubles through drinking and self-indulgence.
The house breathes you in
The dwelling absorbs or envelops the person, creating an immersive atmosphere.
Your eyes start to close
Signaling the onset of sleep, a state of vulnerability and surrender.
Your brain takes it all and overloads
The mind processes the experiences of the day, potentially leading to mental overwhelm.
Your heart speeds up
Physical response to stress or anticipation, reflecting an increased heartbeat.
Hear it in your head
Auditory perception of the heartbeat, possibly emphasizing emotional intensity.
Think of another time instead
Suggesting a desire to escape the present by reminiscing about a different time.
The big sleep
Reiteration of the idea of a significant, possibly eternal sleep or departure.
The long goodbye
Continuation of themes related to saying farewell through the act of drinking.
Drink yourself to sleep tonight
Repetition of the urge to use alcohol as a means of coping with emotions.
Sleepwalking and senseless Losing your defences Sleepwalking and senseless Losing your defences
Describing a state of unconsciousness and vulnerability, with a repeated loss of defenses.
One by one By one by one
Suggesting a gradual, repetitive progression or loss, possibly related to experiences.
The big sleep
Restating the idea of a significant, possibly eternal sleep or departure.
The long goodbye
Reiteration of themes related to prolonged farewells accompanied by drinking.
Drink yourself to sleep tonight
Repeating the call to escape or find solace in alcohol-induced sleep.
The house breathes you in
Reintroducing the concept of being enveloped or influenced by one's surroundings.
Your eyes start to close
Repeating the imagery of closing eyes, signaling the transition to a vulnerable state.
Your brain takes it all and overloads
Suggesting a cognitive overload as the mind processes various stimuli or thoughts.
Your heart speeds up
Physical response to heightened emotions, emphasizing a sense of urgency or intensity.
Hear it in your head
Reemphasizing the auditory perception of a speeding heart, underscoring emotional intensity.
Think of another time instead
Encouraging a mental escape to a different time, possibly a nostalgic or comforting period.
The big sleep
Reiteration of the idea of a significant, possibly eternal sleep or departure.
