Farina/Wolf Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I Sleepwalk
Cause I lost you
And now what am I to do
What to do.
Can't believe that we're through
I don't care how much you tell me
Cause I miss you
While the memory of you
Lingers like a song
Darling, I was so wrong
But I'll be right some day
The night fills my lonely place
I see your face
I know, I miss you so
I still love you
And it drives me insane
Sleepwalk
Every night I just Sleepwalk
And when you walk inside the door
I will Sleepwalk no more
Sleepwalk
Every night I just Sleepwalk
And when you walk inside the door
I will Sleepwalk no more
I will Sleepwalk no more
I will Sleepwalk no more
The song Sleepwalk by Farina/Wolf is a melancholic one that tells of a heartbroken person who is unable to let go of their love, even in their sleep. The lyrics are hauntingly beautiful and convey a sense of longing, regret and hopelessness.
The song starts with the singer, who is unable to dream because they are so consumed with thoughts of their lost love. They sleepwalk instead because they cannot forget their ex-partner. The singer is unable to accept the fact that the relationship is over, and they desperately want their lover back, which is clear in the line "Can't believe that we're through. I don't care how much you tell me."
The chorus of the song repeats the words "Sleepwalk," which represents the singer's desire to be with their ex. The line, "While the memory of you/Lingers like a song/Darling, I was so wrong," shows a sense of sorrow and regret, as if the singer wishes they could turn back time and fix their mistakes. Despite their regret, the singer remains hopeful, stating, "But I'll be right someday."
The song's lyrics are powerful and can resonate with anyone who has experienced a broken heart. The haunting melody and the melancholic and nostalgic lyrics combine to create a sense of longing that is hard to shake off.
