Long Baby
Dreaming Beyond Dawn: Unraveling the Sleepy Mysteries of 'Long Baby'
Lyrics
My baby sleeps long time, much longer than I
My partner sleeps for an extended duration, much longer than I do.
She shuts her eyes before me after turning out the light
She closes her eyes before me after turning off the lights.
I say good morning honey and she just snores at me
Despite greeting her in the morning, she responds with snoring.
I say you wanna get some breakfast
I suggest getting breakfast, expressing my extreme hunger.
I am ever ever ever so hungry
I emphasize my intense hunger.
I have to wait 'til she wakes up to get some food
I have to wait until she wakes up to eat, and the wait could be prolonged.
It could be hours or days or a month or maybe two
The waiting period could extend to hours, days, or even a month or two.
My baby sleeps long time, much longer than I
Reiteration of my partner's prolonged sleep compared to mine.
I could waste away to a skeleton before she opens her eyes
Expressing a concern that I could become extremely thin before she wakes up.
But is she really sleeping or is she ignoring me?
Questioning whether she is genuinely asleep or intentionally ignoring me.
I have a crocodile to wrestle in the form of anxiety
Describing dealing with anxiety as wrestling a crocodile.
Won't you just wake up now and help me push my worries away?
Pleading for her to wake up and assist in overcoming worries together.
Help me take on this croc together we can make him go away!
Requesting her help in facing and overcoming the metaphorical "crocodile" of anxiety.
While you're sleeping long time, his teeth are getting inside
Highlighting the urgency, as the anxieties intensify while she sleeps.
Crushing my skeleton in front of your sleeping eyes!
Painting a vivid image of anxiety crushing me while she remains unaware in her sleep.
