Lyrics
Counting stars on the ceiling
Feeling restless, preoccupied, and unable to sleep
I'm too on edge to sleep
Being too anxious or nervous to fall asleep
Tossing and turning
Experiencing agitation and restlessness in bed
I'm crawling through my skin
Feeling uncomfortable and distressed, possibly emotionally
Sinking into the mattress
Sinking into a state of despair or sadness
Losing any sense of time
Losing track of time, feeling disoriented
I give in to the sadness
Yielding to feelings of sorrow or unhappiness
As I
Transition point in the narrator's emotional state
I spend the night in a queen size swimming pool
Metaphorically spending the night in a large emotional turmoil
I'm terrified of the sharks at my feet
Fearing potential dangers or threats in the emotional turmoil
I left my gun on the bedside table
Leaving behind a means of defense or protection
This dream will be the end of me
Expressing concern that a particular dream may be detrimental
The end of me
Reiteration of the potential negative outcome of the dream
I'm going under
Descension into emotional turmoil or despair
I'm sinking like a stone
Feeling a sense of descent or decline
Yet I feel weightless and slender
Experiencing a paradoxical feeling of lightness despite difficulties
Like there's no flesh on my bones
Feeling emotionally detached or skeletal
My hands are on fire
Symbolic sensation of intense emotions or distress
I can't read a word I wrote
Struggling with self-expression or communication
Am I even alive
Questioning one's existence or vitality
How on earth should I know
Expressing uncertainty about the state of being
I spend the night in a queen size swimming pool
Metaphorically immersed in emotional turmoil during the night
I'm terrified of the sharks at my feet
Fearing emotional threats or challenges in the turmoil
I left my gun on the bedside table
Leaving behind a means of defense or protection, repetition
This dream will be the end of me
Reiteration of concern about the potential negative dream outcome
Can I get out of this nightmare
Desiring an escape from a distressing dream without fear
Without letting it frighten me
Weary of being frightened, seeking liberation from fear
I've had enough
Expressing a point of emotional exhaustion or saturation
Can I dive into the deep
Contemplating taking a bold step to overcome the dream
See if I can kill this dream
Attempting to confront and overcome the distressing dream
Wake me up
Expressing a desire to be awakened from the emotional turmoil
I spend the night in a queen size swimming pool
Repetition of the metaphorical immersion in emotional turmoil
I'm terrified of the sharks at my feet
Repetition of the fear of emotional threats in the turmoil
I left my gun on the bedside table
Repetition of leaving behind means of defense, repetition
This dream will be the end of me
Reiteration of concern about the potential negative dream outcome, repetition
I spend the night in a queen size swimming pool
Repetition of metaphorical immersion in emotional turmoil, repetition
I'm terrified of the sharks at my feet
Repetition of fearing emotional threats or challenges, repetition
I left my gun on the bedside table
Repetition of leaving behind means of defense, repetition
This dream will be the end of me
Reiteration of concern about the potential negative dream outcome, repetition
The end of me
Final expression of the potential negative outcome of the dream
