As They Sleep Lyrics

Memories left in time
The remnants of the past give the singer the power to move on

Give me the strength to move on
The singer is asking for the power to overcome the past and move forward

Accept the loss of reason
The singer acknowledges that sometimes things happen that are beyond explanation or comprehension

To find find a way
Despite the confusion, the artist will find a way to move forward

To say farewell and not goodbye
The artist wants to acknowledge a departure without completely severing ties

So many questions lie
The past is full of uncertainty

Within the depths of our past
There is a vast sea of unanswerable questions in the singer's history

We keep reinventing wheels
The artist keeps making the same mistakes

Await the day
The artist hopes for a time when they will not keep making the same mistakes

No longer sacrifice
The artist wants to find a way to move forward without giving anything up

Time slipping away this is all too real
The singer is aware of the inevitability of time passing

Can't explain the way this makes me feel
The artist is struggling to put into words their emotions

I'll never say I didn't try
The singer wants to make it clear that they made an effort

I can't sit back and watch you die
The singer refuses to be a passive observer in someone's self-destruction

I shall not sell my soul in vein
The singer will not compromise their values for an unfulfilling purpose

Hold on so gracefully
The artist wants to hold on to something, even if it means doing so in a dignified way

Everything in life shall drift away
The things we hold onto in life are ephemeral

Hold on to what's true to you
The singer encourages the listener to hold onto what they know to be real and valuable

We, we shall be stripped of all our flesh
The singer believes that everyone will be reduced to nothing eventually

We, we shall stand up and rise against
Despite this belief, the artist and the listener can rise up and fight against the inevitable

Embrace Insanity
The artist is advocating for the listener to embrace the unconventional, which might lead to progress

As it courses through my veins
The unconventional is at the heart of the artist's experience

Read between the lines
The singer urges the listener to look beyond the surface of things

As we corrupt our minds
The artist believes that society as a whole is making negative choices

We see unrelenting greed
The singer highlights the relentless expansion of people's desires

I see your face
The singer personally recognizes someone's role in this negative behavior

And it sickens me
The singer is disturbed by what they observe

Mass hypocrisy
The artist recognizes a consistent pattern of insincerity

Making its way to me
The artist is aware that they are not immune to this behavior

Sit back watch it bleed the dream
The singer is watching a dream or ideal get ruined

Inducing hate
The singer sees this negative behavior as causing bad feelings

Another casualty
The artist acknowledges that this behavior has consequences for individuals as well

Just hold on tight for one more day
The artist encourages the listener to persevere
