Sleep
Citizen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Then I left you there
You spent so many days alone
So I'll kill myself and make things fair
See, I just hated being tired
'Cause I can't seem to sleep anymore
And you and all your friends were all
Do you sleep anymore?
Do you sleep anymore?
And I would love to be patient
But I just won't wait
I'm getting sick and tired of
The smile that I fake every day
And I would love to speak my mind
But I can't think straight
And I would love to feel alive again
But I'm not used to change
And do you sleep anymore?
And do you sleep anymore?
And if it makes you feel better
I'll be on my way
And all this time I sit around
And think, but there's nothing to say
And if you want to feel better
I'll stay out of your way
And I would love to feel alive again
But I guess that can wait
And do you sleep anymore?
And do you sleep anymore?
And do you sleep anymore?
And do you sleep anymore?
The song "Sleep" by Citizen is a poignant track that explores the pain and isolation of a failing relationship. The first verse sets the tone for the rest of the song, as it describes the singer falling asleep with their partner on the floor, only to leave them there and contemplate suicide as a way of making things fair. This sense of hopelessness and despair is carried through the rest of the song, as the singer grapples with feelings of exhaustion, frustration, and a deep sense of disconnection from their partner and the world around them.
The chorus of the song is particularly impactful, as the repeated question "Do you sleep anymore?" speaks to the idea that sleep is a powerful metaphor for connection and intimacy. By asking this question, the singer is expressing their fear that their partner has become distant and disconnected, to the point where they no longer feel comfortable sharing their innermost thoughts and feelings. This fear is underscored by the final line of the chorus, where the singer acknowledges that they too are struggling to sleep and connect with the world around them.
The second verse delves deeper into the singer's sense of frustration and disillusionment, as they express their desire to be patient and change things for the better, even as they acknowledge that they are getting "sick and tired" of putting on a false smile every day. This tension between the desire for connection and the difficulty of actually achieving it is a central theme throughout the song, and it is underscored by the haunting refrain of the chorus.
Overall, "Sleep" is a powerful and emotional song that speaks to the struggles of modern relationships and the human need for connection and intimacy. Whether it's the intense feelings of isolation and despair that are expressed in the verses, or the hauntingly beautiful chorus that captures the fragility and beauty of human connection, this is a song that will resonate deeply with anyone who has ever felt lost or adrift in their own life.
