Shuteye
Unveiling Midnight Reflections: Gravity Circus' Shuteye Meaning
Lyrics
Slow down
Advise to take things slowly
Pictures of my head are hanging around
Thoughts or concerns are persistently present
Shut down
Command to stop or close off
The Computer might be OK, but the KID Ain't safe and sound
The computer may be fine, but the person (KID) is not safe
Fake safety in numbers, 'cause when it really matters no one's around
Fake sense of security in numbers; no one is there when it truly matters
TLDR; TMI, should I
Too Long; Didn't Read or Too Much Information, questioning whether to engage
Slow down
Reiteration of the advice to slow down
Ball 'n chain, I'm homebound
Feeling tied down or restricted, possibly in a relationship
Shut down
Repeat of the command to shut down
Restart and reroute
Reboot and change direction
It’s time to get some well-deserved
Desire for a break or rest
Shuteye
Literal sleep or rest
Let the morning come
Welcoming the morning
You'll find me searching for a meaning
Searching for meaning in life
Of the obscene scenery screening
Observing disturbing scenes or situations
On the coastline, there lies a white submarine
Imagery of a white submarine on the coastline
Just leave it be
Advice to leave things as they are
And all that I have left
Only possessions left
are too many fingers on both of my hands
Excess of problems or challenges
to count all of my friends
Many acquaintances or friends
I’m not even sure if I can count on all of them
Doubt about relying on all of them
Slow down
Reiteration of the advice to slow down
Ball 'n chain, I'm homebound
Similar feeling of being tied down
Shut down
Repeat of the command to shut down
Restart and reroute
Reboot and change direction, again
It’s time to get some well-deserved
Desire for a break or rest, reiterated
Shuteye
Reiteration of the need for sleep or rest
Let the morning come
Welcoming the morning, reiterated
Slow down
Reiteration of the advice to slow down
Ball 'n chain, I'm homebound
Similar feeling of being tied down, again
Shut down
Repeat of the command to shut down
Restart and reroute
Reboot and change direction, once more
It’s time to get some well-deserved
Desire for a break or rest, reiterated
Slow down (Slow down)
Reiteration of the advice to slow down
Ball ‘n chain, I’m homebound
Similar feeling of being tied down, once again
Shut down (Shut down)
Repeat of the command to shut down
Restart and reroute
Reboot and change direction, once again
It’s time to get some well-deserved
Desire for a break or rest, reiterated again
Shuteye
Reiteration of the need for sleep or rest, once again
Let the morning come
Welcoming the morning, once again
