Sleeping Alone
Emotional Reflections: Choosing Solitude Over Illusionary Love
Lyrics
Find myself living back under your spell
Expressing a sense of being captivated or influenced by someone.
A promise, a tale, a man to who'll do well
Referring to a commitment, a story, and a man who will prosper.
Give into living as the babies lay still
Choosing a life where things remain calm and undisturbed.
Comfort in lies and loving you til'
Finding solace in falsehoods and staying in love until a certain point.
Til' the end, don't let me die tryin'
Desiring to persevere until the end, asking not to perish in the attempt.
Cause in the end, it's you I ain't savin'
A realization that, ultimately, the speaker is not saving themselves for this person.
Poetry and music don't make a good song
Suggesting that artistic expressions alone may not create a fulfilling relationship.
I'm thinking it's best to stay sleeping alone
Contemplating that it's better to remain alone for the speaker's well-being.
I'm too busy to fall to my knees
Being too occupied to submit to a vulnerable state.
You'll tempt us then tighten your hold over me
Acknowledging temptation and a tightening control exerted by the person.
Til' the end, don't let me die tryin'
Reiterating the desire to persist until the end without succumbing.
Cause in the end, it's you I ain't savin'
Recognizing that, ultimately, the person is not worth saving.
Poetry and music don't make a good song
Questioning the efficacy of poetry and music in creating a meaningful connection.
I'm thinking it's best to stay sleeping alone
Choosing solitude as the preferred state for the speaker.
The dawn dare not ask what the evening knows
Implying that the morning doesn't question the experiences of the evening.
I start to see the damage in the life I chose
Reflecting on the negative consequences of the life choices made.
The highs are too heavy, the lights are down low
Highlighting the burden of intense highs and a dimmed environment.
You'll come down fast, I walk away slow
Anticipating a swift descent contrasted with the speaker's slow departure.
Til' the end, don't let me die tryin'
Expressing the desire to persist until the end without perishing.
Cause in the end, it's you I ain't savin'
Realizing that the person is not worth saving in the end.
Poetry and music don't make a good song
Repeating doubts about the ability of art to create a meaningful connection.
I'm thinking it's best to stay sleeping alone
Reiterating the choice to remain alone for the speaker's well-being.
