Sleepwalking
Sleepwalking Through the Shadows: Unraveling the Depths of Existence
Lyrics
I awoke in a sinking Manhattan.
I woke up in a sinking Manhattan.
I played in drunken cathedrals.
I participated in chaotic and disorderly situations, possibly involving excessive drinking, in metaphorical "cathedrals."
There were businessmen in armchairs.
There were business people in comfortable seats.
With name brands and short hair.
These individuals had well-known brands and short hair.
Detonating with evil.
Exploding with malevolence or wickedness.
So I scratched out the eyes of all my past lives.
I erased the memories or experiences of my previous lives by figuratively scratching out their eyes.
And gathered my crooked flowers.
I collected my flawed or distorted achievements or experiences.
The gardener grins as the toothache begins.
The person taking care of the garden smiles as the pain starts.
And the angels sing free from the towers.
Angels rejoice as tragedy unfolds in the towers.
Can't stop this sleepwalking.
I am unable to stop my subconscious actions or behaviors, possibly in a negative context.
Can't stop my mind.
My thoughts are uncontrollable.
Holy laughter in the river with Ginsey.
Laughter with a sacred or spiritual element by the river with Ginsey.
I saw John in heaven dancing with Buddha.
I witnessed John and Buddha dancing together in heaven.
Dropping pennies of X on the genXers heads.
Symbolic act of dropping influence (X) on the heads of the generation X.
Singing couldawouldashoulda.
Singing about missed opportunities.
In my dreams I've seen things naked and puzzled.
In my dreams, I've seen things in a vulnerable and confused state.
My future fluorescent and dark.
My future appears both bright and obscure.
And my spies realize that my hope's euthanized.
My informants acknowledge that my optimism has been extinguished by the fearful and suspicious part of me.
By the paranoid ape in my heart.
The fearful and suspicious part of myself, represented as a paranoid ape, affects my hopes.
Can't stop this sleepwalking.
Continuing inability to control unconscious actions or behaviors.
Can't stop my mind from talking.
My thoughts persistently intrude and disturb me.
The prisoner in my head.
A metaphorical captive within my own thoughts causes intense fear.
Scares me to death.
This imprisoned state terrifies me.
