Sleep In Silence
Donkeyboy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Memories got spilled without shame
And even though she tried to take the blame
She's walking away, she's walking away
Sleep in silence, reshape, today
Sleep in silence, reshape, another way
You're a simple fool without shame
And even though she tried she feels the same
She's walking away, she's walking away
Sleep in silence, reshape
She's another's destiny
I'm trying to break this memory
Untill her new face changes
We'll never see her again.
Sleep in silence, reshape
She's dancing, dancing
It's never gonna be the same
Sleep in silence, reshape
She's dancing, dancing
She's never coming back again
She had been here a thousand times before
Memories got spilled without shame
And even though she tried to take the blame
She's walking away, she's walking away
Sleep in silence, reshape
She's another's destiny
I'm trying to break this memory
Untill her new face changes
We'll never see her again.
Sleep in silence, reshape
She's dancing, dancing
It's never gonna be the same
Sleep in silence, reshape
She's dancing, dancing
She's never coming back again
Sleep in silence, reshape
She's another's destiny
She's another's destiny
Sleep in silence, reshape
She's another's destiny
Today
She's another's destiny
The lyrics of "Sleep in Silence" by Donkeyboy tell the story of a girl who has been to this place many times before, where memories have been shared and spilled without any shame. Although she tries to take the blame, she walks away from the situation. The song is focused on the feeling of wanting to forget the past and reshape oneself for the future. The phrase "sleep in silence" is repeated frequently, which may refer to the need for rest and stillness in order to process and move on from past memories.
The singer in the story is trying to let go of the memories that have been shared in this place, but it seems that she can't. She feels like she's walking away from the situation, but it's not enough. The line, "She's another's destiny," highlights the idea that perhaps the singer is not meant to be a part of that particular memory, but instead, she must accept that it's another person's fate. As the song progresses, the lyrics become more optimistic, focusing on the possibility of the singer reshaping herself and dancing away from the past.
