Sleepwalk
Boyscott Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
a cut out magazine
if it wasn't so would I stay up late
and hang around with you
until 1 or 2 or 3
before I drive home and cry myself to sleep.
But you swear it was just a dream
a dream?
so then let's just leave
sleepwalk away with me
The opening lines of the song "Sleepwalk" by Boyscott paint a picture of someone waking up and looking at a broken screen and cut out magazines. The lines go on to suggest that if the situation was different, the person in question would stay up late with someone until the early hours of the morning before going home and crying themselves to sleep. However, the person they are with dismisses the whole thing as a dream, despite evidence to the contrary. This leads the singer to suggest that they should just leave and "sleepwalk" away together.
The lyrics seem to be touching upon themes of escapism and the desire to get away from reality. The sultry and dreamlike quality of the music lends itself to the idea of sleepwalking, a potentially dangerous act of walking while asleep. The use of the ambiguous phrase "sleepwalk away with me" suggests that the dreamlike state is not just literal, but also symbolic. It's a plea to escape into a world of imagination, rather than facing the harsh realities of life.
In summary, "Sleepwalk" by Boyscott is a song that explores themes of escapism and the desire to escape reality. The use of dreamlike imagery and sultry music serves to create a sense of otherworldliness, while the lyrics themselves suggest a longing for a dreamlike state where the pain of reality can be forgotten.

Wake up from the light of a broken screen
Rise from being mesmerized by a cracked electronic device
a cut out magazine
A snipped paper with a missing part, presenting a distorted reality
if it wasn't so would I stay up late
If the situation was different, would I extend the night
and hang around with you
Linger with you, instead of running away
until 1 or 2 or 3
Last till the early morning hours
before I drive home and cry myself to sleep.
Prior to departing and shedding tears as I fall asleep
But you swear it was just a dream
But you insist it was a mere subconscious experience
a dream?
A figment of my imagination?
But it wasn't a dream
But it was very much a reality
so then let's just leave
Therefore, let's depart from this scene
sleepwalk away with me
Embark on a journey with me, without consciousness
