Lyrics
It was a deep sleep
Experiencing a profound sleep.
I woke up weak
Awakening feeling physically and emotionally vulnerable.
And I felt like, like a stray
Feeling like an outsider or lost.
Now I believe we're on to nothing
Expressing skepticism or doubt about the significance of current pursuits.
I was shaken and angry and used to nothing
Emotionally disturbed, angry, and accustomed to disappointment.
Coming to nothing, are you coming to stay
Questioning if the situation is leading to nothing, seeking commitment.
Or for a minute are you
Pondering if someone is genuinely staying.
Coming to take my place
Wondering if someone is taking the narrator's position or role.
So take this disgrace
Accepting a sense of shame or embarrassment.
Stray
Emphasizing the feeling of being a stray or outsider.
It was a deep sleep
Reiteration of a profound sleep experience.
I woke up weak
Reiteration of waking up feeling vulnerable.
With a question and your promise not to separate
Awakening with uncertainty and a commitment not to separate.
And I would feel so empty
Anticipating a sense of emptiness without a connection.
Space between me
Describing emotional distance between the narrator and someone else.
That's what's with me
Highlighting the emotional state of being accompanied by emptiness.
That's what's with me
Repetition of the emotional state of being accompanied by emptiness.
Are you coming to stay
Inquiring about the permanence of someone's presence.
Or for a minute are you
Questioning if someone is staying for a short duration.
Coming to take my play
Wondering if someone is taking the narrator's role or place temporarily.
When I wake up in the lone star state
Referencing waking up in the state of Texas.
Stray
Reiteration of feeling like a stray or outsider.
Are you coming to stay
Repeating the inquiry about the permanence of someone's presence.
Or for a minute are you
Repeating the question about someone staying briefly.
Coming to take my place
Repeating the concern about someone taking the narrator's position temporarily.
When I wake up in the lone star state
Reiteration of waking up in the state of Texas.
Stray
Emphasizing the feeling of being a stray or outsider.
