Sleep
Dreaming Beyond the Horizon: Karl Meyer's Sleep
Lyrics
I wanna sleep
I desire to sleep
Fall right on my back
Yearning to fall onto my back
If I could see the world, the one in front of me
Expressing a wish to see the world directly in front
I wanna ski
Expressing a desire to ski
Right here on this track
Wanting to ski on this particular track
If I could see the work, the one in front of me
Reiterating a desire to see the work directly in front
Oh
An exclamation, expressing a realization or emphasis
Let's do what's in front of me
Suggesting to engage with what is directly in front
I'll do what's thought of me
Committing to do what is expected or considered
Let's do what's in front of me
Reiterating the importance of focusing on the immediate
I'll do what's thought of me for you
Committing to fulfill expectations for someone else
For you
Repeating dedication to someone, emphasizing "for you"
If I could be
Expressing a hypothetical scenario of being someone special
The one you made so sure
Being made certain or confident by someone
Living needs from shore, would appear just here before
Describing the appearance of basic living needs
In the way that she
Describing someone and their posture
Stands still before my eyes
Portraying the person standing still before the speaker
She keeps my secrets and she tells me what is wise
Highlighting the person's role in keeping secrets and providing wisdom
Oh
Repeating the call to focus on what's directly in front
Let's do what's in front of me
Recommitting to do what is expected or considered
I'll do what's thought of me
Reaffirming the commitment to fulfill expectations
Let's do what's in front of me
Repeating the call to focus on the immediate
I'll do what's thought of me for you
Recommitting to fulfill expectations for someone else, emphasizing "for you"
For you
Repeating dedication to someone, emphasizing "for you"
For you
Final repetition of dedication, underscoring its importance
