I will show you some things of the future

we will walk into strange lands

Follow me never walk alone
I will show what we have done
the night is dark as I die




Overall Meaning

The lyrics to End of Green's song "Sleep" appear to speak of an individual's invitation to another to join them on a journey towards an uncertain future. The individual who is inviting the other person is portrayed as having some degree of power or knowledge, as they offer to show their companion things that are yet to pass. Throughout the lyrics, there is a sense of traveling or movement, and the tone of the song seems to suggest that the journey is one of great consequence.


The opening line "Follow me into my garden" sets the scene for a mystical and perhaps even dangerous undertaking. It's not clear what type of garden this is, but the imagery suggests that it may be a metaphor for a spiritual or psychological space. To "follow" someone in this sense is to trust them implicitly, to be willing to take whatever risks may await. The offer to "show you some things of the future" suggests that the individual is either a prophet or a visionary of some sort, able to perceive events yet to come.


The following lines continue in the same vein, with the individual urging their companion to "give me your hand," and proclaiming that "we will walk into strange lands." The journey that is to follow is described as being one of discovery and revelation, with the individual promising to show their companion "what we have done." The final line, "the night is dark as I die," adds a note of mystery and danger to the proceedings, hinting that there may be much more at stake here than first meets the eye.
