Melatonin
Melatonin Reverie: Seeking Reprieve in Dream's Embrace
Lyrics
Oh sweet blissful sleep
Expressing the enjoyment of peaceful sleep
I lie down on the couch and drift off to a dream
Lying on the couch, entering a dream state while remaining aware
But I'm still listening, I'm just closing my eyes
Listening while closing eyes, avoiding unnecessary repetition
There's no need to repeat what you said recently
Disregarding the need to restate recent communication
Oh I'm fooling myself, I can't hear a damn thing
Acknowledging self-deception, inability to hear clearly
Are you talking to me?
Questioning if someone is addressing the speaker
When the world is ending
Reflecting on the perceived imminent end of the world
It's my only reprieve from it all
Describing sleep as the only relief from the world's challenges
Just recently I've been waking up
Recently waking up and feeling the presence of someone
Thinking you're right next to me
Fantasizing about the proximity of the person
But I'm just sleepwalking
Indicating a state of unconsciousness or detachment
Best to leave me undisturbed
Requesting not to disturb during this state
I don't want to live inside reality
Expressing a desire to escape reality
Oh where everything's logical, no mystery
Rejecting a logical and predictable existence
Could you just let me sleep?
Pleading for uninterrupted sleep during crises
When the world is ending it's my only reprieve from it all
Reiterating sleep as a refuge during challenging times
Don't wanna be wide awake
Expressing a preference for remaining unaware
I'll just shut down myself for the rest of the day
Choosing to emotionally shut down for the day
Gonna hideaway
Deciding to isolate oneself
And then hope by the morning I forget your name
Hoping that by morning, memories will fade
So it's so long, I'm too tired to carry on
Announcing fatigue and a desire to end current efforts
And is it so wrong to retire 'till tomorrow comes?
Pondering the acceptability of postponing responsibilities
Because the world is ending and it's my only reprieve from it all
Reaffirming sleep as a respite in the face of global issues
