We Never Sleep
Ashland HIGH Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The sun is coming up the moon went down
But we are still rolling up
All the girls they came
They thought they were going home
We ain't got time to leave 'em all alone
Just say my name i'll keep you awake
'Cause when I'm with you
It's so hard to think or die
Tell me why we should just close our eyes
The end of sleep
Getting low behind these rays
You know they hide where are we?
And is it day or night the end of sleep
Let it by blue dream
There's dream next to me oh
The end of sleep
Don't want this trip to end
Are you real or just pretend? Oh oh, oh oh
The end of sleep
It's half past to so kiss me
Because the club is closin' down
You touch me then you whisper
Baby just don't make a sound
To make this last forever
If we could let the past go
We'll watch it fade away
Through all the mirros and the smoke
Just say my name i'll keep you awake
You're the reason I'm up so late
'Cause when I'm with you
It's so hard to think or die
Tell me why we should just close our eyes
The end of sleep
Getting low behind these rays
You know they hide where are we?
And is it day or night the end of sleep
Let it by blue dream
There's dream next to me oh
The end of sleep
Don't want this trip to end
Are you real or just pretend? Oh oh, oh oh
The end of sleep
The end of sleep
"We Never Sleep" by Ashland HIGH is a song about the exhilarating and intoxicating feeling of being with someone special and not wanting the night to end. The lyrics describe a late-night or early morning encounter where the singer and their love interest are still awake and rolling up (presumably marijuana) despite the sun rising and the moon disappearing. The presence of the girls who have come with the intention of going home is acknowledged, but the singer doesn't want to leave them alone, suggesting a desire to continue the party or the connection.
The chorus emphasizes the intoxicating effect of being with this person, mentioning how it makes it difficult to think or die, almost in a hyperbolic way to convey the intensity of their feelings. They question why they should close their eyes and sleep when the connection and excitement they're experiencing is so strong. The end of sleep is portrayed as a shift in reality, where the boundaries of day and night blur, and they are lost in the haze of the moment. The reference to "blue dream" could be a nod to a specific strain of marijuana that enhances the dreamy and immersive nature of the experience.
Overall, "We Never Sleep" captures the allure of staying up all night with someone, indulging in the thrill and escapism of the moment, and not wanting it to end. It celebrates the feelings of infatuation and the desire to prolong the connection, even if it means blurring the line between reality and dreams.

It's 6 am and here we are
We are awake early in the morning
The sun is coming up the moon went down
The day is starting as the night comes to an end
But we are still rolling up
We are still awake and active
All the girls they came
Girls have joined us
They thought they were going home
They expected to leave
We ain't got time to leave 'em all alone
We don't have time to be alone
Just say my name i'll keep you awake
I will make sure you stay awake if you say my name
You're the reason I'm up so late
You are the cause of me staying awake late
'Cause when I'm with you
Because when I'm in your presence
It's so hard to think or die
It's difficult to concentrate or rest
Tell me why we should just close our eyes
Explain to me why we should fall asleep
The end of sleep
The moment where sleep comes to an end
Getting low behind these rays
Sleep is fading away as the sun rises
You know they hide where are we?
Do you know where we are hiding?
And is it day or night the end of sleep
Is it daytime or nighttime when sleep ends?
Let it by blue dream
Allow it to be a tranquil and soothing experience
There's dream next to me oh
There is someone special next to me
Don't want this trip to end
I don't want this experience to come to a close
Are you real or just pretend? Oh oh, oh oh
Are you genuine or only pretending?
It's half past to so kiss me
The time is halfway to the next hour, so kiss me
Because the club is closin' down
The club is nearing its closing time
You touch me then you whisper
You lightly touch me and then speak softly
Baby just don't make a sound
Darling, please remain quiet
To make this last forever
To ensure this moment never ends
If we could let the past go
If we could release the hold of the past
We'll watch it fade away
We will observe it slowly disappearing
Through all the mirrors and the smoke
Amidst the reflections and haze
