Sleep
Azure Ray(아쥬어 레이) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In my room you can go you can stay
I can't sleep I can't speak to you
Now these years locked in my drawer
I'll open to see just to be sure
I can't sleep I can't speak to you
And so I'm reaching out for the one
And all this like a message comes
To shift my point of view
I'm watching through my own light
As it tints the shade of you
Hold my wine hold it in
Nobody's lost but nobody wins
The memorable lyrics of "Sleep" by Azure Ray take on a haunting quality that is hard to forget. The song was written by Maria Taylor and Orenda Fink and is an emotionally intense and introspective piece. The story within the song revolves around two lovers who are struggling to find their way back to each other after a long period of separation. The opening lines, "Fill these spaces up with days/ In my room you can go you can stay" allude to the loneliness and emptiness that the singer feels without their partner.
The chorus, "And so I'm reaching out for the one/ And so I've learned the meaning of the sun," speaks to the journey of self-discovery that the singer has undergone while waiting for their lover. They have realized that they need to reach out for someone else, whether it be a new lover, a friend or family member, or even themselves. The constant repetition of "I can't sleep I can't speak to you" emphasizes the separation and longing that the singer feels.
The second verse, "Now these years locked in my drawer/ I'll open to see just to be sure" speaks to the memories and experiences that the couple has shared, and how the singer needs to revisit them to make sure that they are still relevant and worthy of holding onto. The final lines, "Hold my wine hold it in/ Nobody's lost but nobody wins" express the bittersweet realization that even though the singer and their lover may never be together again, they can still hold onto the memories and the love that they shared.
Overall, "Sleep" is an introspective and emotional song that speaks to the power of love, separation, and self-discovery.
Line by Line Meaning
Fill these spaces up with days
I want to occupy every moment with something meaningful, to avoid thinking about you
In my room you can go you can stay
This space we shared is still here but you're not, you can come back but I can't trust you
I can't sleep I can't speak to you
You've done something that keeps me up at night, I can't even bring myself to talk about it with you
Now these years locked in my drawer
Memories of our time together are put away and hidden, but I still revisit them to make sense of what went wrong
I'll open to see just to be sure
I'm willing to revisit those memories to search for answers, to make sure that my perception of our relationship was accurate
And so I'm reaching out for the one
I'm starting to look for someone new, to move on from you
And so I've learned the meaning of the sun
I've gained a new perspective, a newfound understanding of life and myself after going through heartbreak
And all this like a message comes
It's like the universe is telling me something through this experience
To shift my point of view
To change the way I see things, to grow from this and become better
I'm watching through my own light
I'm seeing things clearly, through my own perspective and intuition
As it tints the shade of you
As my new perspective changes the way I see you, it's like you're fading into the background
Hold my wine hold it in
I'll keep my emotions to myself, I won't let them consume me
Nobody's lost but nobody wins
We both lost something valuable in our relationship, but it's best to move on and start anew

One of the most beautiful songs that I've heard in a movie. The devil wears prada was the first DVD I bought during my high school days.
