The world of Rock has a bright new star."

Sleepwalker
Adam Lambert Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hanging in an empty hallway
I heard a voice that I knew, and I couldn't walk away
It sent me back to the end of everything
I tasted all, I tasted all the tears
Again
Outside the rain's pouring down
Scream at the sky but no sound
Is leavin' my lips
It's like I can't even feel
After the way you've touched me
I'm not asleep
But I'm not awake
After the way you loved me
I can't turn this around
I keep running into walls that I can't break down
I said, I just wander around
With my eyes wide shut because of you
I'm a sleepwalker
Walker
Walker
I'm a sleepwalker
Walker
Walker
Let me outta this dream
Everywhere that I go, I see another memory
And all the places we used to know, they're always there to haunt me
I walk around and I feel so lost and lonely
You're everything that I want
But you don't want me
I can't turn this around
I keep running into walls that I can't break down
I say I just wander around
With my eyes wide shut because of you
I'm a sleepwalker
Walker
Walker
I'm a sleepwalker
Walker
Walker
Let me outta of this dream
Dream
Let me outta of this dream
I can't turn this around
I keep running into walls that I can't break down
I say I just wander around
With my eyes wide shut because of you
I'm a sleepwalker
Walker
Walker
I'm a sleepwalker
Walker
Walker
I'm a sleepwalker
Walker
Walker
I'm a sleepwalker
Walker
Walker
Let me outta of this dream

I saw a picture of you hanging in an empty hallway
I stumbled upon an image of you in a place that used to be full of life, now it feels empty and hollow.
I heard a voice that I knew, and I couldn't walk away
I recognized your voice and even though I wanted to leave, I couldn't resist being drawn back to memories of you.
It sent me back to the end of everything
The sound of your voice took me to a dark place, to the moment when everything ended between us.
I tasted all, I tasted all the tears / Again
I am reliving the pain and sadness of our past and it feels just as fresh as it did when we first parted.
Outside the rain's pouring down / There's not a drop that hits me
I am so numb to the world, that even a downpour doesn't make me feel anything.
Scream at the sky but no sound / Is leavin' my lips
I want to express my emotions, but I feel too paralyzed by my pain to even make a sound.
It's like I can't even feel / After the way you've touched me
You've left such a deep impact on me, that I can no longer feel anything after your touch.
I'm not asleep / But I'm not awake / After the way you loved me
I am in this emotional limbo, where I am not fully living nor dead. Your love has driven me to this state.
I can't turn this around / I keep running into walls that I can't break down
I am desperately trying to move on, but I seem to be hitting one obstacle after another with no end in sight.
I said, I just wander around / With my eyes wide shut because of you
I am aimlessly walking around, with a part of me always closed off because of the hurt you've caused me.
Everywhere that I go, I see another memory / And all the places we used to know, they're always there to haunt me
No matter where I go or what I do, I am constantly reminded of our past and the memories we shared. They torment me every day.
You're everything that I want / But you don't want me
I still long for you, but it's painfully clear that you don't feel the same way about me.
Let me outta of this dream
I beg to be released from this never-ending nightmare of heartache and regret.
I'm a sleepwalker / Walker / Walker
I am walking through life like a zombie, half-alive and half-dead because of the pain you've caused me.

If anyone wonders why Adam is the vocalist for QUEEN now, this is why. Listen to that breath control. He barely has time to take a breath during this song, save the interlude. No off note, no loss of power. Just perfection straight through. I am amazed by him each and every time I watch this. He is the best live singer, singer period, of our time.

Not really into the details of breath control.. interlude..yada yada. He is with Queen because of his amazing and versatile voice..

@@GB-zg4yu many belong into all kind of religious cults yet serving the one and the same; BAAL, but ONLY CHRISTIANS - new creatures in CHRIST shall be in heaven.
There is choosing based on free will, GOD OR MAMMON?
Who are we? - old wicked sinners in BAAL or born again – new creatures in CHRIST?
