Talking in Your Sleep
Unveiling Secrets: The Language of Sleep
Lyrics
When you close your eyes and go to sleep
Reference to the act of going to sleep
And it's down to the sound of a heartbeat
Association of sleep with the rhythmic sound of a heartbeat
I can hear the things that you're dreaming about
Claiming to hear the dreams or thoughts during sleep
When you open up your heart and the truth comes out
Suggesting that truth is revealed when one is emotionally open
You tell me that you want me
Expression of desire for the speaker
You tell me that you need me
Affirmation of need for the speaker
You tell me that you love me
Declaration of love towards the speaker
And I know that I'm right
Confidence in the correctness of the speaker's understanding
Cuz I hear it in the night
Noting the validation of feelings through night-time communication
I hear the secrets that you keep
Claiming awareness of hidden information or emotions
When you're talking in your sleep
Highlighting the act of revealing secrets during sleep-talking
When I hold you in my arms at night
Physical closeness in a romantic context
Don't you know you're sleeping in a spotlight
Emphasizing the vulnerability of being under constant observation
And all your dreams that you keep inside
Recognition of inner dreams or aspirations
You're telling me the secrets that you just can't hide
Reiteration of the disclosure of hidden truths
You tell me that you want me
Repeated expression of desire for the speaker
You tell me that you need me
Repeated affirmation of need for the speaker
You tell me that you love me
Repeated declaration of love towards the speaker
And I know that I'm right
Confidence in the accuracy of the speaker's understanding
Cuz I hear it in the night
Confirmation of perceiving hidden information during the night
I hear the secrets that you keep
Reiteration of being aware of secrets revealed during sleep
When you're talking in your sleep
Emphasis on the act of talking in one's sleep
When you close your eyes and you fall asleep
Repetition of the idea of closing one's eyes and falling asleep
Everythng about you is a mystery
Characterizing the entire persona as a mystery during sleep
You tell me that you want me
Restating the desire for the speaker
You tell me that you need me
Restating the affirmation of need for the speaker
You tell me that you love me
Restating the declaration of love towards the speaker
And I know that I'm right
Confidence in the accuracy of the speaker's understanding
Cuz I hear it in the night
Reiteration of validating feelings through night-time communication
I hear the secrets that you keep
Reiteration of being aware of secrets revealed during sleep
When you're talking in your sleep
Final emphasis on the act of talking in one's sleep
