Sleep
Duvchi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Do you still love me when they go?
You used to love me, let me go
Find in the moon
Flowers and my dreams
I told 'em sleep baby, Aaliyah
We don't waste no time
You fell asleep baby
Everyone knows that we need somebody
Mm yeah
At the park up the block now
I'm gonna waste no time

And you and me, we'll play it cool
Under the wild and the cherry moon
Down by the rocks I lay you down
To make a life here, I'll stop my heart
Down by the rocks I lay you down
Couple of rings from afar
Watching the moon go crazy now
It's in the air saying baby don't sleep

Oooh

September moon, clouds, summer, snow
Do you still go where we used to go?
Found in the sea, coral of my dream
I feel asleep baby Aaliyah
We don't waste no time
You feel asleep baby
Everyone knows that we need somebody
Mm yeah
At the park up the block now
I'm gonna waste no time
At the park up the block now
I'm gonna waste no time
Yeah mm, what

And you and me, we'll play it cool
Under the wild and the cherry moon
Down by the rocks I lay you down
To make a life here, I'll stop my heart
Down by the rocks I lay you down
Couple of rings from afar
Watching the moon go crazy now
It's in the air saying baby don't sleep

Oooh

And you and me, we'll play it cool
Under the wild and the cherry moon
Down by the rocks I lay you down
To make a life here, I'll stop my heart
Down by the rocks I lay you down
Couple of rings from afar
Watching the moon go crazy now
It's in the





Down by the rocks I lay you down

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Duvchi's song Sleep are full of intricate imagery and symbolism. The first few lines of the song, "Do you still love me when they go? You used to love me, let me go," create a sense of longing and nostalgia. The singer is questioning if their lover still cares for them, even when they are apart. The use of the phrase "let me go" implies that there was a separation between the two at some point, and the singer is still hung up on it.


The following lines, "Find in the moon, flowers and my dreams, I told 'em sleep baby, Aaliyah," suggest that the singer is searching for something in the night sky. They find solace in the moon, which represents emotional turmoil, and want to escape their problems. They mention Aaliyah, perhaps as a tribute to the late singer or as a way to associate her with someone they love.


As the song progresses, the singer talks about the need for companionship, "Everyone knows that we need somebody," and wanting to make the most of the time they have, "We don't waste no time." The imagery continues with "At the park up the block now, I'm gonna waste no time." The singer is urging their partner to not sleep, "It's in the air saying baby don't sleep," and it culminates with the repeated line, "Down by the rocks, I lay you down."


The final verse repeats the same imagery, and the song ends on the haunting and evocative line, "Down by the rocks, I lay you down."


Overall, the lyrics to Sleep evoke a sense of longing, nostalgia, and yearning for human connection. The moon, flowers, and rocks are all symbols for the various emotions the singer is feeling. The repetition of certain lines adds to the dreamlike quality of the song.

Ты всё ещё любишь меня, когда уходят они? Привыкла любить, отпусти. Я рассказал им сон, Алия, о счастливом событии на Луне, цветах и моих мечтах. Мы время впустую не тратили. Ты засыпаешь. Любой знает, что кто-нибудь нужен нам. Сейчас в глубине парка не собираюсь я время терять. И ты, и я, мы будем играть. Это прекрасно! При дикой, вишнёвой луне я опускаюсь с тобой на камни. Чтобы создать здесь жизнь, я сердце своё оставлю. Далёкие два кольца. Взгляд на луну сводит теперь с ума. Это витает в воздухе, говорят. Милая, не засыпай! Луна в сентябре, облака, лето, снег. Ты так же ходишь туда, где приходилось нам быть? Моя коралловая мечта, в море найденная, то, как чувствую я спящую милую Алию.

Costumava ouvir Linda Pira e certo dia ele apareceu na reprodução automatica de uns vídeos de outros artistas de lá que estavam linkados a ela... Desde então passei a expandir minha admiração pelo jeito sueco de fazer som.
