Sleepwalking
(This Wild Life acoustic cover)Bring me the Horizon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From my heart and my bones catch a fever
When it cuts you up this deep
It's hard to find a way to breathe
Your eyes are swallowing me
Mirrors start to whisper
Shadows start to see
Help me find a way to breathe
Time stood still
The way it did before
It's like I'm sleepwalking
Fell into another hole I got
It's like I'm sleepwalking
I'm at the edge of the world
Where do I go from here?
Do I disappear?
Edge of the world
Should I sink or swim?
Or simply disappear?
Your eyes are swallowing me
Mirrors start to whisper
Shadows start to see
My skin's smothering me
Help me find a way to breathe
Seeing as time stood still
The way it did before
It's like I'm sleepwalking
Fell into another hole I got
It's like I'm sleepwalking
Wake up
Take my hand and
Give me a reason to start again
Wake up
Pull me out and
Give me a reason to start again
Time stands still (time stands still)
Time stands still (time stands still)
Your eyes are swallowing me
Mirrors start to whisper
Shadows start to see
My skin's smothering me
Help me find a way to breathe
Time stands still
The way it did before
It's like I'm sleepwalking
Feel into another hole I got
It's like I'm sleepwalking (it's like I'm sleepwalking)
(It's like I'm sleepwalking) (it's like I'm sleepwalking)
Time stands still
The way it did before
It's like I'm sleepwalking
The lyrics of "Sleepwalking" by Bring Me the Horizon are about feeling trapped and suffocated by one's own secrets and emotions. The opening lines suggest that the singer has buried their secrets deep within themselves, causing physical and emotional distress ("from my heart and my bones catch a fever"). The chorus repeats the phrase "It's like I'm sleepwalking," conveying a sense of detachment and numbness that comes with feeling overwhelmed.
The verses use vivid imagery to describe the feeling of being swallowed up by one's own thoughts and feelings. The singer feels trapped and smothered by their own skin, and the mirrors and shadows around them seem to taunt them with their reflections. The bridge poses a question about what comes next - should the singer sink or swim, or simply disappear?
The final verse brings some hope in the form of a plea to be woken up and given a reason to keep going. Time stands still, but the singer longs for a fresh start and a way to break free from their sleepwalking state.

My secrets are buried now
I have kept my secrets hidden deep inside me
From my heart and my bones catch a fever
The burden of my secrets has taken a toll on me, causing physical and emotional pain
When it cuts you up this deep
The pain is so intense that it cuts deep into my soul
It's hard to find a way to breathe
It's difficult to cope with the pain and find a way out
Your eyes are swallowing me
I feel overwhelmed by your gaze
Mirrors start to whisper
Even the reflection in the mirror seems to mock me
Shadows start to see
The darkness within me becomes apparent
My skin's smothering me
I feel trapped and suffocated by my own existence
Help me find a way to breathe
I need someone to guide me out of this darkness and pain
Time stood still
Everything has come to a standstill, as if time has stopped
The way it did before
This feeling of being lost and helpless is not new to me
It's like I'm sleepwalking
I am going through the motions without any real sense of purpose or direction
Fell into another hole I got
I have fallen into the same pattern of despair and isolation
I'm at the edge of the world
I feel like I am standing on the brink of the abyss
Where do I go from here?
I am lost and directionless, unsure of what steps to take next
Do I disappear?
Is it better to simply fade away and let the pain consume me?
Should I sink or swim?
Should I fight or surrender to my pain?
Wake up
I need to snap out of this sense of numbness and despair
Take my hand and
I need someone to offer me guidance and support
Give me a reason to start again
I need to find a sense of purpose and direction to move forward with my life
Time stands still
The pain and feelings of being lost and directionless are still there, unchanged

My secrets are burning a hole through my heart
And my bones catch a fever
When it cuts you up this deep
It's hard to find a way to breathe
Your eyes are swallowing me
Mirrors start to whisper, shadows start to sing
My skin's smothering me
Help me find a way to breathe
Time stood still the way it did before
It's like I'm sleepwalking
Fell into another hole again
It's like I'm sleepwalking
I'm at the edge of the world
Where do I go from here? Do I disappear?
Edge of the world
Should I sink or swim? Or simply disappear?
Your eyes are swallowing me
Mirrors start to whisper, shadows start to sing
My skin's smothering me
Help me find a way to breathe, sing it
Time stood still the way it did before
It's like I'm sleepwalking
Fell into another hole again
It's like I'm sleepwalking
Wake up
Take my hand and give me a reason to start again
Wake up
Pull me out and give me a reason to start again
Time stands still
Time stands still

(Time stands still)
Your eyes are swallowing me
Mirrors start to whisper, shadows start to sing
My skin's smothering me

It's like I'm sleepwalking
Fell into another hole again
It's like I'm sleepwalking (it's like I'm sleepwalking)
Time stood still the way it did before
It's like I'm sleepwalking
