Sandman
Battling the Sandman: A Midnight Odyssey of Friendship and Choices
Lyrics
Goddamn
Expressing frustration or exasperation.
Can I keep my eyes awake
Questioning the ability to stay awake.
Am I making a mistake
Uncertainty about making a wrong decision.
'Cause I fight tooth and nail
Struggling fiercely for consciousness.
Just to hold this conscious state
Putting in immense effort to stay awake.
I can't keep my eyes awake
Continuing difficulty in staying awake.
Hey there sandman, I saw you grab a beer
Addressing the Sandman, a mythical character associated with sleep, who seems to be present.
Sure you've gotta make a living
Acknowledging the Sandman's need to work but pointing out the presence of friends.
But can't you see I've got friends here
Asserting that the Sandman should leave because of the existing company.
Now find the door, think I've made myself clear
Emphasizing the request for the Sandman to leave, indicating clarity in the decision.
Hey there sandman, you ain't welcome here
Reiterating that the Sandman is not welcome in that place.
So I sit and I drink
Engaging in drinking while being in a state of contemplation.
Try to conversate
Attempting to converse or communicate, possibly with others present.
But if this couch sinks
Concern about the sinking couch affecting fate negatively.
More than it seals my fate
Worrying that the sinking couch might influence destiny more than anticipated.
My mind needs a rest
Recognizing the need for mental rest or relaxation.
Yes I think that's true
Believing it's true that the mind requires rest.
I just hope my friends
Expressing hope for the return of friends in the future.
They come around next year too
Desiring the presence of friends again next year.
Hey there sandman, I saw you grab a beer
Noting the Sandman grabbing a beer and reiterating the previous sentiments.
Sure you've gotta make a living
Acknowledging the Sandman's need to make a living but emphasizing the presence of friends.
But can't you see I've got friends here
Insisting that the Sandman should leave due to the company present.
Now find the door, think I've made myself clear
Stating the decision again, ensuring clarity in the request for the Sandman to depart.
Hey there sandman, you ain't welcome here
Reiterating that the Sandman is unwelcome in that place.
Now the night's wound down
Describing the winding down of the night.
And it's just us two
Highlighting the situation of being alone with the Sandman.
There's no one around
Emphasizing the absence of others in the vicinity.
You want me and I want you
Expressing mutual desire between the speaker and the Sandman.
But goddamn! (Goddamn)
Exclaiming frustration or exasperation once again.
I've got no choice! (No choice)
Feeling a lack of control or alternatives in the situation.
I wish it wasn't true
Expressing a wish for a different circumstance or reality.
My will has surely lost
Believing that personal determination or resolve has diminished.
And there ain't a thing that I can do
Feeling helpless or powerless in the current situation.
Hey there sandman (hey hey)
Repeating the earlier sentiments to the Sandman.
I saw you grab a beer (watch'ya drinkin)
Observing the Sandman's actions again and commenting on it.
Sure you've gotta make a living (aw yea)
Acknowledging the Sandman's need to work with affirmation.
But can't you see I've got friends here (hey hey hey)
Reiterating the presence of friends and implying the Sandman should leave.
Now find (now find) the door (the door)
Stating the need for the Sandman to find the exit, reiterating the request.
Think I've made myself clear
Confirming the clear expression of the desire for the Sandman to leave.
Hey there sandman, you ain't welcome here (aw no no no)
Reaffirming that the Sandman is not welcome in that place.
