Sing Me to Sleep
Dreams Unveiled: Finding Solace in an Impossible Siren's Song
Lyrics
This settling has worn me thin
The current situation or environment has emotionally depleted me.
I know I'm always complaining I'm exhausted, but this is it
I acknowledge that I often express fatigue, but this moment feels particularly overwhelming.
I'd rather be alone than angry, and I'd rather noone was home
I prefer solitude over being upset, and I'd rather have nobody around than be unhappy.
Than I was unhappy
I'd rather be alone than in a situation that brings me unhappiness.
Oh impossible siren, would you sing me to sleep?
A metaphorical reference to a siren (mythical creatures whose singing lured sailors). Asking for comfort or soothing in difficult times.
Would you steady my dreams?
Seeking reassurance that dreams or aspirations will be supported or stabilized.
Oh would you watch me breathe?
Requesting assurance or protection during vulnerable moments.
I'm not sure when we all stopped dreaming
Reflecting on a loss of collective optimism or ambition.
When we started to believe that winter was our only season
Expressing a belief that hope or positive aspirations have been replaced by a sense of bleakness or stagnation.
Did you ever hear what I said?
Questioning if others have heard or understood personal expressions or feelings.
Or have we lost touch again?
Wondering if there's been a disconnect or loss of connection with others.
I just want this cycle to end
Expressing a desire to break free from a repetitive or cyclical pattern.
I'm not sure when we all stopped dreaming
Reiterating the sentiment about the decline in shared aspirations or hopes.
Oh impossible siren, would you please save me?
Pleading for salvation or relief from an impossible situation, akin to seeking help from a mythical siren.
My demons know my name
Acknowledging personal struggles and the familiarity of inner demons.
And they know where I sleep
Implying vulnerability during sleep, as personal challenges haunt even in moments of rest.
