Sleep
Navigating Life's Ups and Downs: Finding Peace in Ken Yokoyama's 'Sleep'
Lyrics
Had a hard day,
Expressing having a challenging or tiring day
I'm worn out and exhausted
Feeling physically and mentally drained
I might have talked
Suggesting excessive talking or expressing oneself
a little more than I had to
Acknowledging talking more than necessary
Upset over nothing.
Feeling disturbed or bothered without a clear cause
I should loosen up
Recognizing the need to relax or take it easy
Now I feel
Experiencing a sense of remorse or guilt
a little piece of regret
Regretting previous actions or words
Too much coffee and
Referring to the impact of excessive coffee and cigarettes
too many cigarettes
Highlighting the consequences of unhealthy habits
I know my wife will hate to
Awareness of potential negative reactions from a spouse
see me like this
Anticipating disapproval or disappointment from the wife
Upset over nothing,
Repeating the feeling of being upset without a clear cause
way too serious
Describing a tendency to take things too seriously
Was it wrong to give my best?
Questioning the appropriateness of giving one's best effort
I don't know
Expressing uncertainty about the correctness of actions
I've had enough,
Feeling a sense of being fed up or overwhelmed
I just want to go home
Expressing a strong desire to return home
I know my family's sound asleep
Acknowledging the family being asleep
Crawl inside my bed and
Desiring comfort and solace in one's bed
feel my child in my arms
Expressing the warmth and comfort of holding one's child
When I'm home
Highlighting the sense of starting anew when at home
I get to start fresh again
Emphasizing the positive impact of being at home
All the irritation
Referring to the disappearance of irritation at home
just goes away
Reiterating the calming effect of home life
Upset over nothing,
Repeating the feeling of being upset without a clear cause
yelling off my head
Describing an intense emotional reaction, possibly anger
By tomorrow it will seem
Expecting the current upset to seem trivial or humorous later
like a joke
Anticipating a shift in perspective with time
I'll sleep it off
Expressing the intention to overcome the upset through sleep
Just sleep it off
Reiterating the therapeutic nature of sleep for emotional challenges
