I Can't Stay Awake
Awake in a Dream: Battling Pills and Fingers
Lyrics
I can't stay awake
Feeling unable to remain conscious/alert
Somebody help me, please
Requesting assistance from someone
I have too many fingers
Metaphorical reference to having too many things to deal with
Some of them need to leave
Feeling the need to rid oneself of some burdens or responsibilities
Help me out of my body
Desiring to escape one's physical presence or existence
Help me not to sleep
Wanting to avoid falling asleep
I can't stay awake
Reiteration of the inability to stay awake
Somebody help me, please
Repeating the plea for help from someone
I have too many pills
Metaphorically having an excess of medication or issues
Some of them need to leave
Feeling the need to eliminate some of the problems or medications
Get them out of my body
Desiring to remove substances from the body
Get them out, please
Requesting help in getting rid of these substances
There's no good way to say good-bye
Expressing difficulty in saying farewell
I'm only good at saying, "Hi."
Confidence in initiating conversations but not good at goodbyes
So I guess I'll go away
Considering leaving or departing
Touch the sun and forget about today
Escaping from reality, seeking something beyond the current moment
I can't stay awake
Repeated expression of inability to stay awake
Somebody, please, help me
Reiteration of the plea for assistance
I have too many fingers
Redundant metaphorical reference to having too much to handle
Some of them need to leave
Desiring to get rid of some of the burdens or responsibilities
Help me out of my body
Seeking liberation from one's physical form
Help me not to sleep
Requesting aid in staying awake
There's no good way to say good-bye
Reiterating difficulty in bidding farewell
I'm only good at saying, "Hi."
Comfortable with introductions but not good at farewells
So I guess I'll go away
Considering departing or leaving once again
Touch the sun and forget about today
Seeking escape from the present and reality
I can't stay awake
Repeating the inability to stay awake
Somebody help me, please
Reiterating the plea for help
I can't stay awake
Repetition of inability to stay awake
Somebody, please, help me
Repeated request for assistance
