Journey Through Dreams: Unraveling Kris Angelis' Enter Sandman
Lyrics
Say your prayers little one don't forget my son
Say your prayers little one, instructing a child to pray
to include everyone
Don't forget my son, emphasizing the importance of remembering to pray for oneself
Tuck you in warm within
To include everyone, suggesting a collective or inclusive aspect to the prayers
keep you free from sin til the sandman comes
Tuck you in warm within, a caring gesture of ensuring comfort before sleep
Sleep with one eye open
Sleep with one eye open, a metaphorical expression suggesting vigilance or wariness
gripping your pillow tight
Gripping your pillow tight, reinforcing the idea of being alert or cautious during sleep
Exit light enter night
Exit light enter night, a transition from light to darkness, possibly symbolizing entering a different state or reality
take my hand
Take my hand, a reassurance or invitation to join someone on a journey
we're off to never never land
We're off to never never land, suggesting a departure to an imaginative or dreamlike place
Something's wrong shut the light
Something's wrong, shut the light, a sense of unease or danger prompting action
heavy thoughts tonight
Heavy thoughts tonight, indicating a burden of troubling thoughts
and they're not of snow white
And they're not of snow white, contrasting with traditional fairy tales, suggesting darker themes
Dreams of war dreams of liars
Dreams of war, dreams of liars, portraying disturbing or deceitful dreams
Dreams of dragon's fire and of things that will bite
Dreams of dragon's fire and of things that will bite, vivid and threatening dream imagery
Sleep with one eye open
Sleep with one eye open, a repetition emphasizing the need for alertness during sleep
gripping your pillow tight
Gripping your pillow tight, reinforcing the idea of being vigilant even in sleep
Exit light enter night
Exit light enter night, reiterated transition, possibly indicating a recurring shift in state
take my hand
Take my hand, a recurring invitation or reassurance
we're off to never never land
We're off to never never land, repetition of the departure to an imaginative or dreamlike place
Hush little baby don't say a word
Hush little baby don't say a word, an encouragement for silence and calmness
Nevermind that noise you heard
Nevermind that noise you heard, dismissing or downplaying unsettling sounds
It's just the beasts under your bed
It's just the beasts under your bed, rationalizing fears as imaginary or harmless
In your closet
In your closet, suggesting that fears may originate from one's own imagination or inner thoughts
In your head
In your head, reinforcing the idea that fears are internal and psychological
Exit light enter night
Exit light enter night, a repeated transition, possibly signifying a recurring theme or cycle
take my hand
Take my hand, a reiterated offer of support or guidance
we're off to never never land
We're off to never never land, a final repetition, emphasizing the ongoing journey to an imaginative realm
