"With all their lieing and all their might and all their thirst" My friends lie about being high and they are overly couragouse because they are high but they are thirsty (cotton mouth) because they smoked. "They couldn't think of something to say the day you burst" you lost your temper at my pot head friends because you dont like it. I dragged you back a sleepyhead" you where so messed up and I pulled you back a sleepyhead (you get tired when you smoke).
"You were an inchfromthe edge of this bed "Flicking fire like saltwater into my eyes" Using a lighter and when you smoke your eyes get all messed up. "Like stars burning holes right through the dark" Smoking at night time and all that can be seen is the light from the burning weed. "Burning solid burning thin the burning rim" the rim of a joint burning slowly and strong. "And you said it was like fire around the brim" Fire around the brim of a bowl. I know you probably dont want to hear it but its true. This song sint about love or sex, its about smoking weed. The sufferer peacefully transitions from their comatose state into death, never shedding their outward "disguise" of simply being asleep. The speaker stays loyal and by the sufferer's side. "My beard grew down to the floor and out through the doors of your eyes" They are there against the sufferer's wishes (rules), because if the sufferer had had it their way, the plug would have already been pulled and these people wouldn't be here.
SLEEPYHEAD PASSION PIT LYRICS SKIN
People are literally pressed against the walls of the room and against the skin of their comatose loved one. "Against the walls, against your rules, against your skin" It is at this point that the grim possibility that death really is here becomes apparent through the thin thoughts of denial. You don't usually crowd in the room of someone who's already dead. "They crowd your bedroom like some thoughts wearing thin"įriends and family crowd the bedroom of the afflicted - the person is still alive, being prayed for. People who are fighting for the sufferer to be kept on life support, thirsting for the him/her to one day wake up, involve doctors, lawyers, and clergy to fight with their scientific, legal, and holy might against the disease, and against people (the speaker) who better knew the sufferer's true wishes. "With all their lions and all their might and all their thirst" Bursting may mean some kind of heart failure or other literal bursting. No one ever knows what to say when someone dies, especially when that death is untimely. "They couldn't think of something to say the day you burst" At one point, the sufferer was "one inch from the edge of this bed," i.e., very close to death, but the speaker drags him/her back into this world as "a sleepyhead"-in a coma. The first verse concerning fire is, to me, the sufferer describing the pain of the affliction, which seems to have a manifestation in the eyes ("brims"). He/she enters a coma, and is kept on life support against their wishes. The title "Sleepyhead" appears to me a description of someone who appears, quite literally, very sleepy: this person is suffering from an injury or terminal illness. Sometimes it definitely feels like more of a sexual meaning. I'm not sure, but this is how it feels to me sometimes. "My beard grew down to the floor and out through the doors"
It might feel like they're against her when all she needs is to sleep with the guy who protected her through her breakdown and all night. They maybe suggest she gets help so they don't have to deal with it but it's not what she wants. They crowd your bedroom like some thoughts wearing thinĪgainst the walls against your rules against your skin" With all their lions and all their might and all their thirst "They couldn't think of something to say the day you burst In the morning her family and friends crowd her, proud and hungry for their own stable lifestyle. She's on the edge and he worries so he pulls her to bed and lets her sleep it off. "You were one inch from the edge of this bed Now you're coming down and you're so sleepy. You've been on fire with sadness or rage. I see the sex metaphor but to me it's something else.īesides just being awesome, it reminds me of after breaking down. This song is amazing and it makes me feel so free.
