Sleepwalking
Ammonia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Soul-searching.
Means nothing,
To find out if its now
Till you break down.
No light, its all in my eyes,
No love, its all in my eyes.
No love, its all in my eyes,
No love, its all in my eyes
Sleepwalking.
Soul-searching.
Won't learn 'thing,
But find out if its now
Till you break down.
No light, its all in my eyes,
No love, its all in my eyes.
No love, its all in my eyes,
No love, its all in my eyes.
The lyrics of "Sleepwalking" by Ammonia are a poignant commentary on the emptiness and futility of soul-searching. The opening lines "Sleepwalking, soul-searching, means nothing" suggest that the act of searching for meaning in life can often feel pointless and unfulfilling. The repetition of the phrase "till you break down" emphasizes this idea, as if to suggest that the only way to truly explore the depths of one's soul is to reach a point of complete exhaustion.
The chorus, with its repetition of the phrase "no light, it's all in my eyes, no love, it's all in my eyes" reinforces the feeling of darkness and hopelessness that pervades the song. The fact that the singer says "it's all in my eyes" suggests that the feeling of emptiness and lack of meaning is something that is internal and personal, rather than something external that can be changed with external influences.
Overall, "Sleepwalking" is a powerful song that speaks to the struggle many people face in trying to find meaning and purpose in their lives. It suggests that sometimes, despite our best efforts, we can feel lost and hopeless, but that this is a necessary part of the journey towards understanding ourselves and finding our place in the world.
