Counting Sheep
Unveiling Life's Complexity
Lyrics
If it's all the same to you, I've decided that I'm lacking proof
The speaker lacks evidence or proof for something.
A basic thread of unbelief could unravel your attempt at truth
Doubt or skepticism could undermine someone's attempt to present the truth.
You could blame it on her, you could pin it on him - that'd be a lie
Assigning blame to others would be dishonest because there's no clear disagreement or selfless pursuit.
'Cause there's no subtle dispute or selfless pursuit
There's no subtle disagreement or genuine pursuit of a noble cause.
Those things are marked by what they hide
True intentions are concealed or misrepresented by such things.
No surprise that you've found yourself in too deep
It's not surprising that the person finds themselves deeply involved in a situation.
Blame your checkered past for your lack of sleep
Blaming a troubled history for insomnia or problems sleeping.
But make sure you count your blessings while you're counting sheep
Encouragement to acknowledge and appreciate one's blessings despite difficulties.
If nothing more remains for you, it's decided that you leave confused
There seems to be confusion when nothing more is left.
A simple case of hit and miss, you offered something more than you can give
An instance where someone offered more than they could deliver.
You could blame it on her, you could pin it on him - but you don't want a fight
Despite possible blame allocation, avoiding conflict seems preferable.
And there's no subtle pursuit or selfless pursuit
No evident pursuit of resolution or a selfless endeavor.
Those things are marked by what they hide
Similar to line 5, genuine motives are obscured.
No surprise that you've found yourself in too deep
The person finds themselves deeply involved once again.
Blame your checkered past for your lack of sleep
Linking a troubled past to the inability to sleep.
But make sure you count your blessings while you're counting sheep
Despite difficulties, emphasizing the importance of acknowledging blessings.
Asleep in your uncertain future
Suggests being unaware or unsure of what the future holds.
No one else can tell you what you came here for or read your thoughts
Implying that no one else can truly understand the speaker's purpose or inner thoughts.
If confidence is open-ended there's no guarantee you'll be protected now
Even with confidence, there's no guarantee of protection or safety.
There's no safety house
There's no secure place or refuge.
You can't just stay and rest here in my regard for you
It's not possible to solely rely on the speaker's regard or affection for comfort.
No surprise that you've found yourself in too deep
A repetition of finding oneself deeply embroiled in a situation.
Blame your checkered past for your lack of sleep
Reiterating the connection between a troubled past and insomnia.
But make sure you count your blessings while you're counting sheep
Continued emphasis on recognizing blessings amid challenges.
