Sleepwalk
Counterfit Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All pictures aside now, slide into closed eyes.
Time kept close by, next to the light.
A stamp to approve a location to move to.
Fell out of reaction, land steady.
Well, it all read the same when we just needed more.
Stand up.
Blank, call attention to the shy hand.
Walk steady, tired of the first thing.
Reach, turn, remember.




Choked back, tied to the last thing. Turn it up bright.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Counterfit's "Sleepwalk" are indicative of how not having clarity in life can lead to feelings of confusion and being lost. The line "All pictures aside now, slide into closed eyes" urges the listener to let go of external impressions and instead focus on the internal, representing the need for introspection. The line "Time kept close by, next to the light" represents the commonality of time and how it is always present, even in our darkest moments.


Additionally, the line "A stamp to approve a location to move to" speaks to the idea of needing external validation for decisions to feel justified, highlighting the insecurity that can come with making personal choices. The line "Fell out of reaction, land steady" represents the idea of chaos leading to stability, reminiscent of the phrase "it gets worse before it gets better."


Interestingly, the song then shifts tone with "Well, it all read the same when we just needed more" indicating a sense of dissatisfaction despite internal growth. The line "Blank, call attention to the shy hand" represents feeling overlooked despite needing help, and the line "Choked back, tied to the last thing. Turn it up bright" speaks to the idea of letting go of the past and embracing what's ahead.

A good friend of mines older brother used to sleepwalk really bad..... His parents had to lock him in his room at night because he could be violent! 😳😬 Which was really strange cuz he was such a sweet gentle boy.

As someone who’s Dad is a sleepwalker, I can confirm your videos are real. One time me and my boyfriend were in the kitchen making a late night snack, and Dad sleepwalked out of his room and right up to him. He said he’d been a naughty boy, wasn’t getting anything for Christmas, smacked him right on his a$$, and went back to his room 😭😭😭
