When I Fall Asleep
Emjaay Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I tried, gave it all to you
Jaded eyes, can I make it through
The faded highs, the silent nights
When I lied, it was all for you
When I tried, gave it all to you
Jaded eyes, can I make it through
No, oh
Cause when I fall asleep
Everything just start to seem
Like a tunnel closing at the seams
(At the seams)
But I've made my mind up now
Feeling up when I'm feeling down
It's time to shine
The time is mine
Gonna grind it till I hit the
Ground
Listen to my sound
Still feeling like I've, drowned
Still play it when I'm frowned
No, oh
No, oh
No, oh
No, oh
When I fall asleep
And my chest feels deep
I keep trailing down the darkest road
Trailing down the path I chose
Hating now, the things I see
Breaking out the chains are free
Waiting for the time to show
I'll never give up, never let go
Can I not fall again
Can I not follow it
Can I not fall away
(Fall away)
I wanna show you how
I will just take you down
The darkest road
The hollow shows, no
Wait
I'll be at the gate
Showing up at 8'
Platform 5, just missed the train
Just missed the train
When I lied, it was all for you
When I tried, gave it all to you
Jaded eyes, can I make it through
The faded highs, the silent nights
The lyrics to Emjaay's song "When I Fall Asleep" convey a sense of introspection and struggle. The opening lines, "When I lied, it was all for you, when I tried, gave it all to you," suggest that the singer has sacrificed and deceived themselves for someone else's sake. These lines reflect a willingness to go to great lengths for the person they care about.
The phrases "jaded eyes" and "the faded highs, the silent nights" imply a sense of weariness and longing. It seems that the singer has experienced disappointment and loneliness, possibly as a result of their sacrifices and efforts in a relationship. The repeated line "No, oh" could express a desire to break free from the cycle of pain and dissatisfaction.
As the song progresses, there is a shift in tone and mindset. The lyrics assert a determination to overcome the challenges and find personal fulfillment. The lines "But I've made my mind up now, feeling up when I'm feeling down, it's time to shine, the time is mine" demonstrate a newfound confidence and a refusal to give up. The desire to "grind it till I hit the ground" and the declaration to "listen to my sound" further emphasize a determination to succeed despite past setbacks.
In the second verse, the lyrics delve into the singer's emotions during moments of vulnerability. They describe the feeling of falling asleep and how it brings a deep sense of introspection. The reference to the "darkest road" and the "path I chose" suggests that the singer may have taken a difficult, unconventional route in life, which has led to self-doubt and scrutiny. However, they also express resilience and a refusal to give up, promising to never let go.
Overall, "When I Fall Asleep" explores themes of sacrifice, resilience, and self-discovery. It delves into the complexities of relationships, the challenges faced when chasing dreams, and the continuous search for personal fulfillment.

Like an enclosed passage slowly shutting and becoming narrower

Finding positivity and strength when I am in a low state

I wanna show you how

The darkest road
The most challenging and gloomy path
The hollow shows, no
The empty and devoid demonstrations or performances convey nothing substantial
Wait
Pause or hold on for a moment
I'll be at the gate
I will be waiting at the entrance or exit point
Showing up at 8'
Arriving or being present at 8 o'clock
Platform 5, just missed the train
The fifth platform, unfortunately, missed catching the train
When I lied, it was all for you
When I deceived, it was solely for your benefit
When I tried, gave it all to you
When I made an effort, I dedicated everything I had to you
Jaded eyes, can I make it through
Weary and disillusioned, can I successfully overcome
The faded highs, the silent nights
The diminished moments of elation and the quiet nights
