Autumn Beds
Awakening in Autumn: Modest Mouse's Poetic Reflection on Sleepless Nights
Lyrics
We won't be sleeping in our autumn beds
Refusal or inability to rest in autumn beds
We won't be sleeping in our autumn beds
Reiteration of the refusal or inability to rest in autumn beds
We won't be sleeping in our autumn beds
Continuation of the theme of not sleeping in autumn beds
We won't be sleeping in our autumn beds
Reiteration of the continued refusal or inability to sleep in autumn beds
October came
Introduction of the month October, setting a temporal context
Our case got stuck with the day again
Reference to a legal case being stuck in the day, indicating a prolonged legal process
They pulled up the welcome mat
Description of a negative reception, symbolized by pulling up the welcome mat
So many times they hurt their back
Physical strain from repeated negative experiences, expressed metaphorically
As sure as clocks are bleeding time
Assertion of the inevitability of time passing, possibly with negative consequences
We'll show up early just to wait in line
Commitment to persistence despite challenges, waiting in line as a metaphor for enduring difficulties
We won't be sleeping
Repetition emphasizing the continuation of not sleeping
We won't be sleeping
Reiteration of the ongoing refusal or inability to sleep
We won't be sleeping
Further emphasis on the persistence of not sleeping
We won't be sleeping
Continued assertion of the decision not to sleep
As August came
Introduction of the month August, marking a progression in time
Our case is drawing to an end
Indication that a legal case is reaching its conclusion
They said guilty so many times
Repetition of the word "guilty," possibly highlighting a negative outcome
All I heard was just the buzzing lights
Personal perception focused on buzzing lights, possibly indicating distraction or detachment
As sure as lead sinks were the same
Assertion of similarity or sameness in negative experiences
We're just more laundry that they need to hang
Metaphor of being additional burdens, like laundry to be hung
We won't be sleeping in our autumn beds
Reiteration of the theme of not sleeping in autumn beds
We won't be sleeping in our autumn beds
Continued refusal or inability to sleep in autumn beds
We won't be sleeping
Repetition emphasizing the persistence of not sleeping
We won't be sleeping
Reiteration of the ongoing refusal or inability to sleep
We won't be sleeping
Further emphasis on the persistence of not sleeping
We won't be sleeping
Continued assertion of the decision not to sleep
We won't be sleeping in our autumn beds
Reiteration of not sleeping in autumn beds
We won't be sleeping in our autumn beds
Continued refusal or inability to sleep in autumn beds
We won't be sleeping
Repetition emphasizing the continuation of not sleeping
We won't be sleeping
Reiteration of the ongoing refusal or inability to sleep
We won't be sleeping
Further emphasis on the persistence of not sleeping
We won't be sleeping
Continued assertion of the decision not to sleep
We won't be sleeping in our autumn beds
Final reiteration of not sleeping in autumn beds
