Sick Server
Journey Through Memories: Jeff Tweedy's 'Sick Server' Reflections
Lyrics
When I left my home
Leaving the speaker's home.
I moved down the street
Moving within proximity.
I never went back there
Resisting the idea of returning home.
Unless I needed to eat
Returning home only for basic needs.
Or someplace quiet
Seeking a quiet place when necessary.
When I couldn't sleep
Difficulty sleeping leading to occasional returns home.
Now I never go back there
Present avoidance of going back home.
Except when I dream
Home exists in dreams rather than reality.
Oh, I never went far
Staying close to loved ones geographically.
From the people I love
The speaker's connection with people they love.
I live in the spaces
Residing in both physical and metaphorical spaces.
Underneath and above
Living within various dimensions of life.
Time passes slow
The subjective experience of time.
Before it goes too fast
Reflecting on the pace of time.
Dream with me, darling
Inviting someone to share dreams or aspirations.
Now the moment has passed
The passing of a moment, possibly a missed opportunity.
I called from overseas
Communicating from distant locations.
And I called from the Midwest
Contacting from the speaker's home region.
I'd call from New York City
Communicating from a bustling city.
And you'd say "get some rest"
Concern for the speaker's well-being.
I always played your song
Expressing care through music.
Every time you would ask
Repeating the act of playing a special song.
Dream with me, darling
Inviting shared dreams or aspirations through music.
Now the moment has passed
Reflecting on the passing of a significant moment.
Dream with me, darling
Reiterating the invitation to dream together.
Now the moment has passed
Acknowledging that the opportune moment has elapsed.
