Sleepwalking
Bring Me The Horizon (acoustic cover) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From my heart and my bones catch a fever
When it cuts you up this deep
It's hard to find a way to breathe
Your eyes are swallowing me
Mirrors start to whisper
Shadows start to see
Help me find a way to breathe
Time stood still
The way it did before
It's like I'm sleepwalking
Turn into another hole I got
It's like I'm sleepwalking
I'm at the edge of the world
Where do I go from here?
Do I disappear?
Edge of the world
Should I sink or swim?
Or simply disappear?
Your eyes are swallowing me
Mirrors start to whisper
Shadows start to see
My skin's smothering me
Help me find a way to breathe
Seeing as time stood still
The way it did before
It's like I'm sleepwalking
Turn into another hole I got
It's like I'm sleepwalking
Wake up
Take my hand and
Give me a reason to start again
Wake up
Pull me out and
Give me a reason to start again
Time stands still (time stands still)
Time stands still (time stands still)
Your eyes are swallowing me
Mirrors start to whisper
Shadows start to see
My skin's smothering me
Help me find a way to breathe
Time stands still
The way it did before
It's like I'm sleepwalking
Turn into another hole I got
It's like I'm sleepwalking (it's like I'm sleepwalking)
(It's like I'm sleepwalking) (it's like I'm sleepwalking)
Time stands still
The way it did before
It's like I'm sleepwalking
The lyrics to "Sleepwalking" by Bring Me The Horizon paint a picture of someone feeling overwhelmed by their own secrets and internal struggles. The opening lines set the tone, describing how the secrets are buried deep within the person's heart and bones, causing fever and difficulty breathing. The next verse speaks of being swallowed up by someone's eyes, with mirrors whispering and shadows seeing. The person feels smothered by their own skin and desperately needs a way to breathe. This leads to the chorus with the repeated phrase "It's like I'm sleepwalking," expressing the feeling of being lost and adrift without a clear direction to go in.
The bridge of the song brings a sense of finality and decision-making. The person is at the edge of the world, unsure of what their next step should be. They wonder if they should disappear entirely or try to swim and survive. The final verse repeats the earlier lines about time standing still and feeling like sleepwalking. The song ends with a plea for someone to help them wake up and start again, which brings a sense of hope to the otherwise heavy and introspective lyrics.

My secrets are buried now
I've kept my secrets hidden and locked away
From my heart and my bones catch a fever
The weight of my secrets is causing me physical and emotional pain
When it cuts you up this deep
The pain is so intense, it feels like I'm being torn apart
It's hard to find a way to breathe
It's difficult to cope with the overwhelming emotions and stress
Your eyes are swallowing me
Your gaze is all-encompassing and overwhelming
Mirrors start to whisper
I'm starting to question my own reflection and identity
Shadows start to see
Even the shadows around me seem to be watching and judging
My skin's smothering me
My own body feels suffocating and oppressive
Help me find a way to breathe
I need help finding a way to cope and move forward
Time stood still
The world around me feels frozen and unchanging
The way it did before
This feeling is familiar and has happened before
It's like I'm sleepwalking
I feel lost and disconnected from reality
Turn into another hole I got
I'm trapped in a cycle of destructive behavior
I'm at the edge of the world
I feel like I've reached the end of my options and resources
Where do I go from here?
I don't know what to do or where to turn next
Do I disappear?
Should I give up and fade away?
Should I sink or swim?
Do I fight to survive or give in to my despair?
Wake up
I need to snap out of my daze and take action
Take my hand and
I need someone to guide and support me
Give me a reason to start again
I need a purpose or motivation to move forward
Pull me out and
I need someone to rescue me from this destructive cycle
Time stands still (time stands still)
The world feels stagnant and unchanging
It's like I'm sleepwalking (it's like I'm sleepwalking)
I feel like I'm going through the motions without really feeling present

My secrets are burning a hole through my heart
And my bones catch a fever
When it cuts you up this deep
It's hard to find a way to breathe
Your eyes are swallowing me
Mirrors start to whisper, shadows start to sing
My skin's smothering me
Help me find a way to breathe
Time stood still the way it did before
It's like I'm sleepwalking
Fell into another hole again
It's like I'm sleepwalking
I'm at the edge of the world
Where do I go from here? Do I disappear?
Edge of the world
Should I sink or swim? Or simply disappear?
Your eyes are swallowing me
Mirrors start to whisper, shadows start to sing
My skin's smothering me
Help me find a way to breathe, sing it
Time stood still the way it did before
It's like I'm sleepwalking
Fell into another hole again
It's like I'm sleepwalking
Wake up
Take my hand and give me a reason to start again
Wake up
Pull me out and give me a reason to start again
Time stands still
Time stands still
(Time stands still)
(Time stands still)
Your eyes are swallowing me
Mirrors start to whisper, shadows start to sing
My skin's smothering me
Help me find a way to breathe
Time stood still the way it did before
It's like I'm sleepwalking
Fell into another hole again
It's like I'm sleepwalking (it's like I'm sleepwalking)
Time stood still the way it did before
It's like I'm sleepwalking
