Hence her forthcoming EP's title 'Charlotte'. The six song EP is led by single 'Talk You Down', an addictive percussion-driven electronic pop number about her anxiety. Elsewhere she explores fear and struggle through a relationship on 'Sin x Secret', a sense of feeling lost on 'Cowboys', aching heartbreak on 'Slow Motion', the perils of love on 'You', and addiction and dependence on 'RX'.
Born and raised in LA, Lawrence spent little time in the city and more by the Malibu coast and up in the canyons. She grew up playing piano from the age of five and got into guitar around the age of 13. Charlotte has spent the past few years writing and recording while finding her musical voice, and she's just getting started.
Sleep Talking
Charlotte Lawrence Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stayin' out til the mornin', I can hear the door
Tell me you're different, but you're just like the rest
I can smell all the whiskey and the smoke on your breath
I don't think you know this, but you're so predictable
Textin' her behind my back and actin' like I don't
But I already know, oh oh
'Cause you've been talkin' in your sleep, oh oh
And you've been messin' 'round on me
I thought I told you once before, ooh
I guess you wasn't listening
I'll wait till the morning, might just let you sleep in
Won't you give a warning, just know that I'm leavin'
'Cause you've been talkin' in your sleep, oh oh
And you've been messin' 'round on me (on me, on me, ooh)
You say that you want me, that you want me back
Wanna talk to me, it's over, no, I won't do that
Swear that you're different, but you're still like the rest
Don't wanna talk it over, no
I don't think you know this, but you're so predictable
Textin' her behind my back and actin' like I don't
But I already know (already know), oh oh
Yeah, I already know this (know this)
'Cause you've been talkin' in your sleep, oh oh
And you've been messin' 'round on me (on me, on me)
I thought I told you once before, oh
I guess you wasn't listening
I'll wait till the morning, might just let you sleep in
Won't you give a warning, just know that I'm leavin'
'Cause you've been talkin' in your sleep (in your sleep, in your sleep)
And you've been messin' 'round on me (on me, on me), ooh
I don't think you know this, but you're so predictable
Textin' girls behind my back and actin' like you don't
But I already know, oh oh
Yeah, I already know
'Cause you've been talkin' in your sleep (you've been talkin' in your sleep), oh oh
And you've been messin' 'round on me (and you've been messin' 'round on me)
I thought I told you once before (I thought I told you once before), oh
I guess you wasn't listening (I guess you wasn't listening)
I'll wait till the morning (I'll wait till the morning)
Might just let you sleep in (might just let you sleep in)
Won't you give a warning (won't you give a warning)
Just know that I'm leavin'
'Cause you've been talkin' in your sleep (your sleep, oh oh)
And you've been messin' 'round on me (on me, on me, ooh)
"Sleep talking" by Charlotte Lawrence is a powerful song that delves deep into the mind of someone who is hurt by their partner's infidelity. The song is about a relationship where the singer is hurt by her partner who has been cheating on her, and she can hear him talking about it in his sleep. She confronts him about his infidelity, but he denies it and tries to convince her that he loves her. However, she knows that he has been cheating on her and that he is just like all the other guys she has dated before.
In the first verse, she talks about how her partner tells her that he loves her, but she has heard it before, and it doesn't mean anything to her anymore. He stays out late at night, and she can hear the door when he comes back. She knows that he is just like the rest of the guys she has dated before because she can smell the whiskey and smoke on his breath.
In the chorus, she talks about how he has been talking in his sleep, and she knows that he has been cheating on her. She has already confronted him about it, but he denies it, and she is tired of hearing him lie to her. She decides to leave him, even though it hurts her to do so.
The second verse is a continuation of the first verse, where her partner tries to convince her that he loves her and that he wants to talk about it to patch things up. But, she knows that he is still like the rest of the guys she has dated before, and she is tired of hearing him talk.
Overall, "Sleep talking" is an emotional song that talks about trusting someone and being hurt by their infidelity. It is a relatable song that talks about how we sometimes try to convince ourselves that someone is different from the rest, but in the end, they turn out to be the same.
