Sleeping Dogs
Eternal Moments in Rainy Days: Sleeping Dogs by Trevor Griffin
Lyrics
On Saturdays
Reflecting on Saturdays, a specific time or routine in the past
Amidst the fog
Amidst a sense of confusion or uncertainty
We curled away
Retreated or withdrew from something
Like sleeping dogs
Comparing the withdrawal to the peaceful state of sleeping dogs
On rainy days
During rainy and gloomy days
The blinds are drawn
Shutting out external influences or emotions
We curled away
Similar withdrawal as mentioned before, perhaps a recurring pattern
And slept 'til dawn
Sleeping peacefully until morning
The window open
A specific moment with a window open, emphasizing an opportunity
Timeless moment, never lost
Timeless and significant moments that are not forgotten
The hope I'm holding
Expressing a sense of hope that is being held onto
I hope you hold it too
Wishing for the listener to share and hold onto the hope
Our bodies broken
Describing physical and emotional exhaustion
Sick from all the medicine
Feeling unwell due to the effects of medication
Our bodies frozen
Body and emotions becoming numb or unresponsive
Like sleeping dogs again
Drawing a parallel to the state of sleeping dogs, possibly suggesting a cyclical nature
I work at noon
Referencing work starting at noon
And that's much too soon
Expressing that noon feels too early or abrupt
The house is warm
Describing a comforting and welcoming environment at home
The pillows too
Comfortable surroundings, including soft pillows
The sky has reached
Noticing the sky's color, possibly indicating a moment of reflection
Its darkest blue
Describing a deep, possibly melancholic, shade of blue
I'd stay forever
Expressing a desire to stay in the current moment indefinitely
Here with you
Wishing to remain with a significant other
The window open
Recalling the window being open, repeating the theme of opportunity
Timeless moment, never lost
Reiterating the importance of timeless and unforgettable moments
The hope I'm holding
Holding onto hope, repeating the sentiment from earlier
I hope you hold it too
Encouraging the listener to also hold onto hope
Our bodies broken
Revisiting the idea of physical and emotional exhaustion
Sick from all the medicine
Continuing to feel unwell due to medication
Our bodies frozen
Emphasizing the frozen or numb state, connecting back to sleeping dogs
Like sleeping dogs again
Highlighting the cyclical nature of the described experiences
Like sleeping dogs again
Repetition of the idea of being in a state akin to sleeping dogs
Like sleeping dogs again
Repeating the concept of a recurring cycle, possibly suggesting a lack of change
Like sleeping dogs again
Final repetition of the comparison to sleeping dogs, reinforcing a sense of stagnation or routine
