Sleep
[Poets Of The Fall] Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Beat a frantic pace
And it's not even seven AM
You're feeling the rush of anguish settling
You cannot help showing them in
Hurry up then
Or you'll fall behind and
They will take control of you
Fickle words crowding your mind
So
Sleep, sugar, let your dreams flood in
Like waves of sweet fire, you're safe within
Sleep, sweetie, let your floods come rushing in
And carry you over to a new morning
Try as you might
You try to give it up
Seems to be holding on fast
It's hand in your hand
A shadow over you
A beggar for soul in your face
Still it don't mater if you won't listen
If you won't let them follow you
You just need to heal
Make good all your lies
Move on and don't look behind
So
Sleep, sugar, let your dreams flood in
Like waves of sweet fire, you're safe within
Sleep, sweetie, let your floods come rushing in
And carry you over to a new morning
Day after day
Fickle visions messing with your head
Fickle, vicious
Sleeping in your bed
Messing with your head
Fickle visions
Fickle, vicious
Sleep, sugar, let your dreams flood in
Like waves of sweet fire, you're safe within
Sleep, sweetie, let your floods come rushing in
And carry you over to a new morning
The lyrics to "Sleep" by Poets of the Fall talk about the anxieties and troubles that the singer is experiencing that refuses to let them sleep. The song starts with the sound of a racing heartbeat, indicating the anxiousness and tension the singer is feeling. They feel judged by the people around them and the world at large, and this is stopping them from finding peace.
The chorus encourages the singer to stop fighting, to let go of their pain, and allow their dreams to take over. The imagery used in the lyrics is powerful, with the dreams being compared to "waves of sweet fire." The chorus is reassuring the singer that it is okay to let go and trust in the powers of their subconscious mind.
The second verse talks about how the troubles continue to persist, but the singer is fighting back. They try to break themselves free from the thoughts and worries, but it's difficult. The song tries to convince the singer that the struggle is useless without surrendering to the forces of rest and inner peace. The song ends with the same chorus, reminding the singer to let go of their fears and worries and venture into the new morning renewed and refreshed.

Hear your heartbeat
Notice the rhythm of your heart
Beat a frantic pace
Beating too fast out of anxiety
And it's not even seven AM
Despite the early hour, can't control the worrying
You're feeling the rush of anguish settling
The feeling of sadness is getting worse
You cannot help showing them in
Can't hide the pain
Hurry up then
Get over it as quickly as you can
Or you'll fall behind and
If you don't, they'll surpass you
They will take control of you
The sadness will consume you
And you need to heal the hurt behind your eyes
Need to recover the pain you feel inside
Fickle words crowding your mind
Confusing thoughts taking over your thoughts
So Sleep, sugar, let your dreams flood in
Rest and let peaceful dreams come up
Like waves of sweet fire, you're safe within
Safe and happy in your dreams like a warm fire
Sleep, sweetie, let your floods come rushing in

No matter how hard you try
You try to give it up
Trying to let go of the pain
Seems to be holding on fast
The sadness continues to overwhelm
It's hand in your hand
The pain is always there with you
A shadow over you
A dark cloud that follows you
A beggar for soul in your face
A feeling of emptiness and despair
Still it don't mater if you won't listen
It doesn't matter if you don't hear it
If you won't let them follow you
If you won't let the sadness control you
You just need to heal
You need to get better
Make good all your lies
Correct what you've been telling yourself
Move on and don't look behind
Let go of the past and look forward
Day after day
Every day
Fickle visions messing with your head
Confusing thoughts causing trouble
Fickle, vicious
Confusing and harmful
Sleeping in your bed
The cloud of sadness is always present
Messing with your head
Causing confusion
Fickle visions
Confusing thoughts
Fickle, vicious
Confusing and harmful
Sleep, sugar, let your dreams flood in
Rest and let peaceful dreams come up
Like waves of sweet fire, you're safe within
Safe and happy in your dreams like a warm fire
Sleep, sweetie, let your floods come rushing in
Sleep well and let tears flow freely
And carry you over to a new morning
Get ready to start a new day

Yes, so true in all of it. I've been having a hard time sleeping back especially when I wake up in the middle of the night even though I sleep early. These methods could surely work and thanks so much for this.
