Lyrics

You'll sleep tonight

You will find rest or peace tonight.

Dream dreams where I would die

Imagine scenarios where I might face death.

It's alright, it's alright

Reassuring that everything is fine or acceptable.


They did not come true

Previous dreams did not come true.

Although they will do, in time

Despite not happening now, they will eventually come true.

It's alright, it's alright

Emphasizing that everything is okay.


Fakes, liars and stars of moving pictures

Referring to fake people, liars, and celebrities of the film industry.

What's the difference? It's all, oh, oh

Suggesting there's no significant difference between them.

Like all the parts that I'm not into

Comparing disliked aspects with those not preferred, but finding something appealing.

But I see in you, oh, oh

Seeing positive qualities in someone despite reservations.


Not real brown eyes look into mine

Not genuine brown eyes meet mine.

But I was so shy

Despite shyness, expressing acceptance.

It's alright

Reaffirming that everything is fine.


You'll sleep tonight

Repeating the idea of finding peace in sleep.

Dream dreams where I would die

Reiterating the theme of dreaming about death.

It's alright, it's alright

Reassuring that everything is fine or acceptable.


Fakes, liars and stars of moving pictures

Referring again to insincere individuals and celebrities of the film industry.

What's the difference? It's all, oh, oh

Highlighting the perceived lack of distinction between them.

Like all the parts that I'm not into

Repeating the comparison of disliked aspects with finding something appealing.

But I see in you, oh, oh

Reaffirming finding positive qualities in someone despite reservations.


Guarded thoughts, firing off

Describing defensive or cautious thoughts and actions, possibly in a relationship.

Parting shots, missing lots

Fakes, liars and stars of moving pictures

What's the difference? It's all, oh, oh

Emphasizing the perceived lack of distinction among them.

Repeating the comparison of disliked aspects with finding something appealing.

But I see in you, oh, oh

Reaffirming finding positive qualities in someone despite reservations.


Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Repetition of a melodic refrain, possibly emphasizing a feeling or mood.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
