Lyrics
Alone I sit, I wonder why
Feeling alone, contemplating the reasons for solitude
You dream of love and so do I
Noticing a shared desire for love in dreams
But in your sleep you cannot see
Pointing out the inability to perceive personal pain while asleep
This pain which is always haunting me
Expressing a constant haunting pain
What I need I'll never feel
Acknowledging an unfulfilled need
This world is for me unreal
Viewing the world as unreal and disconnected
So I drink to darkness with a candle lit
Turning to darkness, possibly through intoxication, seeking solace
And through the whole night alone I sit
Sitting alone throughout the night with a lit candle
The sleeping beauty
Introducing the concept of the sleeping beauty
She stops the bleeding
Attributing the ability to stop emotional pain to the sleeping beauty
She stops the bleeding in my soul
Highlighting the impact on the soul
She is fresh air in this stinking world
Describing the sleeping beauty as a breath of fresh air in a troubled world
The more I drink, the more I see
Suggesting an increased awareness with intoxication
That suicide could be the key
Mentioning suicide as a potential escape
To the place called paradise
Describing paradise as a place free from pain, hate, and lies
Where pain not dwells, not hate nor lies
Emphasizing the desirable aspects of paradise
But if I look beyond all this
Considering the potential loss by looking beyond the pain
I reckon something I would surely miss
Recognizing something valuable in the midst of hardship
Because in my dreams I rule my life
Asserting control over life in dreams
And the sleeping beauty is my wife
Declaring the sleeping beauty as a significant part of the dream life
The sleeping beauty
Reiteration of the sleeping beauty's role
She stops the bleeding
Reiterating the sleeping beauty's ability to alleviate emotional pain
She stops the bleeding in my dreams
Emphasizing the impact within dreams
She is fresh air in this stinking world
Recalling the sleeping beauty as a breath of fresh air in a troubled world
