Storm
Dahlia Sleeps Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You have raised a storm within me
And I can feel it when we sleep
Your body's strong and your thoughts are far from me
But I still hold you when you sleep

I know you're not open unless it's a futile thing
You said you wrote us into poetry
Don't be defeated
Just fall into the deep with me
Tell me you can feel it
Baby would you let me dream?
It's not fair
The way you'll always win with me
Know I'm not your only world
Wanna be the one you keep

You only call when the night can cover us
You only come around here to dream
And I've been feeling things that I can't cover up
Just tell me it's not as it seems

You have a habit of making me fall again
'Til I'm unraveled I have to play to win

Don't be defeated
Just fall into the deep with me
Tell me you can feel it
Baby would you let me dream?
It's not fair
The way you'll always win with me
Know I'm not your only world
Wanna be the one you keep

Don't be defeated
Just fall into the deep with me
Tell me you can feel it
Baby would you let me dream?
It's not fair
The way you'll always win with me
Know I'm not your only world
Wanna be the one you keep

Wanna be around me
Wanna be around me

Don't be defeated
Just fall into the deep with me
Tell me you can feel it
Baby would you let me dream?
It's not fair
The way you'll always win with me




Know I'm not your only world
Wanna be the one you keep

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Dahlia Sleeps' song "Storm" speak of the tumultuous passion between two people in a romantic relationship. The first lines express the turbulence within the singer that has been caused by their partner. The storm is apt metaphorical language for the tempestuous nature of their love, which is further underscored by their confession that they feel it even in their sleep. The contrasting image of the strong body of the partner and their distant thoughts creates a sense of conflict and longing, and yet despite this, the singer holds the person they love close in sleep - a moment of intimacy and vulnerability.


The second verse shifts to the singer's awareness of their partner's reticence towards opening up. They express a desire to be the person with whom their partner shares their deepest thoughts and feelings, to be written into the poetry that is their life story. The bridge and chorus of the song implore their partner not to let their firewall down, but rather to allow themselves to be swept up in the passion and dreamlike quality of their love. The repeated refrain, "Wanna be the one you keep," bolsters this plea and emphasizes the singer's deep desire and commitment towards their relationship.


Line by Line Meaning

You have raised a storm within me
My emotions are in turmoil because of you


And I can feel it when we sleep
My feelings for you are strong even when we're not awake


Your body's strong and your thoughts are far from me
Physically, you're here with me, but mentally you're distant


But I still hold you when you sleep
Despite everything, I still want to be close to you


I know you're not open unless it's a futile thing
You only open up to me when it's too late or it doesn't matter anymore


You said you wrote us into poetry
You expressed your feelings for me through writing


Don't be defeated
Don't give up


Just fall into the deep with me
Let's face our problems together


Tell me you can feel it
Let me know you care


Baby would you let me dream?
Can we have a future together?


It's not fair
This situation is unjust


The way you'll always win with me
You have control over my emotions


Know I'm not your only world
I understand you have other priorities


Wanna be the one you keep
But I still want to be important to you


You only call when the night can cover us
Our relationship is only possible in secret


You only come around here to dream
You're not really present in my life


And I've been feeling things that I can't cover up
My emotions are too strong to hide


Just tell me it's not as it seems
Let me know if this relationship has a future


You have a habit of making me fall again
You have a tendency to bring me back despite the heartache


'Til I'm unraveled I have to play to win
Until I'm completely broken, I'll do whatever it takes to keep you


Wanna be around me
I want to be close to you

Lyrics:

You raised a storm within me
And I can feel it when we sleep
Your body's strong and your thoughts are far from me
But I still hold you when you sleep

I know you’re not open unless it's a futile thing
You said you wrote us into poetry

Don't be defeated
Just fall into the deep with me
Tell me you can feel it
Baby would you let me dream?
It’s not fair
The way you'll always win with me
Know I'm not your only world
Wanna be the one you keep

You only call when the night can cover us
You only come around here to dream
And I've been feeling things that I can't cover up
Just tell me it's not as it seems

You have a habit of making me fall again
Till I'm unraveled I have to play to win

Don't be defeated
Just fall into the deep with me
Tell me you can feel it
Baby would you let me dream?
It’s not fair
The way you’ll always win with me
Know I'm not your only world
Wanna be the one you keep

Don't be defeated
Just fall into the deep with me
Tell me you can feel it

It’s not fair
The way you’ll always win with me
Know I'm not your only world
Wanna be the one you keep

Wanna be around me
Wanna be around me

Don’t be defeated
Just fall into the deep with me
Tell me you can feel it
Baby would you let me dream?
It's not fair
The way you'll always win with me
Know I'm not your only world
Wanna be the one you keep
