No Sleep
Sleepless Despair: Unveiling the Heartache Behind Sophia Bel's 'No Sleep'
Lyrics
I knew they would come through
I anticipated they would come through
(I knew it, I knew, they always, they come through)
Repetition emphasizing the expectation of others coming through
Abandonment issues
Issues related to feeling abandoned
(I knew it, I knew, abandonment issues)
Reiteration of anticipation and acknowledgment of abandonment issues
Only a month it takes
It takes only a month
Sucking my breath away
Affecting and overwhelming, possibly in a negative way
I need you every day
Expressing a need for constant presence
Dying to make you stay
Desperation to make someone stay
What if you suffocate
Concern about the possibility of suffocation in the relationship
Go on and slip away
Encouraging the other person to slip away
Sweet sweet smell of roses
Positive association with the smell of roses
Brings back heart necrosis
Linking the smell of roses to emotional heartache
Feel myself imploding
Feeling self-destructive or collapsing inwardly
I just hope that you won't notice
Hoping that the emotional turmoil goes unnoticed by the other person
Baby, I've been tired lately
Expressing fatigue in the relationship
Vivid dreams, they wake me
Intense dreams disrupting sleep
Mary-Jane won't save me
Dependency on substances like Mary-Jane with a realization that they won't help
She hates me
Acknowledgment that Mary-Jane dislikes the person
No sleep, I can hear my heartbeat
Insomnia, heightened awareness of one's heartbeat
Pounding on the concrete
Intense, possibly anxious, state symbolized by a pounding heartbeat
Look away, don't save me
Advice to look away and not try to save the person
You'll hate me
Acknowledging that trying to save them might lead to resentment
She's licking a fresh wound
Description of someone licking a fresh wound
(She knew it, she knew, she's looking for you)
Repetition of anticipation, possibly related to the person licking the wound
Two decades of pure gloom
Two decades of enduring darkness or sadness
(Twenty years ago, she's looking for you)
Connecting the previous line to an event twenty years ago
Now that the glass is full
Shifting attention to a full glass, suggesting abundance
Pour it on ice
Advising to enjoy life by pouring it over ice
Honey you're beautiful
Complimenting someone as beautiful
Wear something nice
Suggesting dressing nicely and keeping tags, being cautious
Keep all the tags cuz you
Advice to be careful about potential pitfalls
Know that you might
Recognizing the uncertainty of situations
Trip on the grass for just
Being cautious about tripping on metaphorical grass
Closing your eyes
Closing one's eyes to avoid potential issues
Sweet sweet smell of roses
Reiteration of the positive association with the smell of roses
Sends me in necrosis
Reiteration of the negative impact of the smell on the person
Look at me imploding
Personal acknowledgment of collapsing or breaking down
Now I think that you just noticed
Belief that the other person has noticed the emotional turmoil
That baby, I've been tired lately
Reiteration of fatigue in the relationship
Vivid dreams, they wake me
Repetition of vivid dreams disrupting sleep
Mary-Jane won't save me
Dependency on substances like Mary-Jane with a realization that they won't help
She hates me
Acknowledgment that Mary-Jane dislikes the person
No sleep, I can hear my heartbeat
Insomnia, heightened awareness of one's heartbeat
Pounding on the concrete
Intense, possibly anxious, state symbolized by a pounding heartbeat
Look away, don't save me
Advice to look away and not try to save the person
You'll hate me
Acknowledging that trying to save them might lead to resentment
