Sleeping Beauty
Unveiling the Dream: Decoding Patrick Watson's Sleeping Beauty
Lyrics
She walks beneath the skylines
She moves through city skylines.
Her eyes pass the sea
Her gaze extends beyond to the vastness of the sea.
He talks and looks for all the signs
He communicates and searches for indications or signals.
Broken dreams
Shattered aspirations or desires.
In this new machine
Amidst a modern, possibly technological, environment.
He chews her apple to the core
He consumes everything, leaving nothing behind.
Stopping just before
Stops just short of finishing.
Thinking of sleeping beauty
Reflecting on the concept of a dormant, idealized figure.
She spews her venom to the floor
She expresses negativity or poison.
And opens up the door
Opens up an opportunity or pathway.
Thinking plastics duties
Contemplating the responsibilities associated with modern materials like plastic.
Thinking of sleeping beauty chained
Considering a constrained, subdued ideal beauty in relation to obligations.
To her plastic duties
Referring again to the constrained beauty tied to modern responsibilities.
Thinking of sleeping beauty chained
Reiterating the image of a restrained beauty within contemporary duties.
To her plastic duties
Re-emphasizing the connection between the idealized beauty and modern obligations.
Thinking of plastic duty
Considering the obligations or tasks associated with synthetic materials.
She's my sleeping beauty
She, within this context, represents the speaker's idealized beauty.
