Sleepwalker
Journey Through Solitude: Unveiling the Depths of Love in 'Sleepwalker'
Lyrics
I lived my life alone before you
I experienced solitude before meeting you
And with those that I'd never succeed into love
Failed in love with those I attempted
And I grew so accustomed to that kind of solitude
Became accustomed to solitary life
Ah, for you I did not know how to give it up
Struggled to let go of that solitude for you
Before you, had I ever known love
Had I ever experienced love before you
Or had I only not miss you, so the power another had over me
Questioning if previous experiences were love or absence of missing you
The power another had over me
Reflecting on the influence of others on oneself
I'd cross the country and I'd carry no key
Traveling without a need for security or commitment
Couldn't I look up at the stars from anywhere?
Wondering if star-gazing holds meaning anywhere
And sometimes I did, I felt ancient
Feeling ancient at times but lacking inner peace
But still I saw peace, and it never came to me
Peace eludes despite moments of tranquility
They often spoke as though I had been set free
Others perceive freedom in my journey
But I traveled only service of my dreams
Traveling in pursuit of personal dreams
I stood before them all, I was a sleepwalker
Presenting oneself as a sleepwalker in life
Couldn't hold my misery down
Unable to suppress inner misery, even for love
Not even for you
Misery persists despite the presence of the loved one
Bow me on all the places I've ever gone
Bowing to the impact of past experiences
And I grew so accustomed to that kind of solitude
Accustomed to solitude, especially in longing for the loved one
With that long for you now
Longing for the loved one even in their absence
Even when you just leave the room
Feeling the impact even when the loved one leaves the room
And all of the roads and the cities that I past through
Reflecting on the places and experiences in the journey
And all the eyes I have searched inside
Searching within others but finding a sense of permanence only in self
The one sense of permanence that I came to feel
Realizing that self-approval is the only constant
Was mine only would need
Self-sufficiency as the only essential need
Your gaze
Yearning for the gaze of the loved one
