Oh glory be, where have i been
What dark dream was i in
Thought i was living but now i see
Real life was only just beginning
Because
I was sleeping till your touch
Well, i've been hiding out you see
With my heart locked up tight
To let love in was all too scary for me
Then you came along with all your light
Ooh shining bright, now
Something in me just woke up
I was sleeping til your touch
Where did you come from it
How did you find me out
Never thought i could feel this way
Your kiss just brought this to me
Something in me just woke up
I was sleeping til your touch
Something in me just woke up
I was sleeping til your touch
Your touch
Your touch
Your touch
Your touch
The lyrics of the song "Sleeping Beauty" by Funkstörung feat. Lou Rhodes tell the story of a person who was lost in a dark dream and felt like they had not truly started living until they were awakened by the touch of another person. The first verse sets the stage by describing the feeling of being lost in a dark dream and not realizing that real life was just beginning. The second verse reveals that the person had been hiding out and keeping their heart locked up tight, too afraid to let love in. However, when the other person came along with their bright light and touched them, something inside of them woke up and they finally felt alive.
The chorus conveys this awakening, repeating the line "Something in me just woke up, I was sleeping till your touch." The lyrics suggest that this touch was transformative and brought with it a newfound feeling of wonder and love that the person had never experienced before. The final verse reflects on the power of this touch, questioning where it came from and wondering how the other person was able to find them. The song ends on a note of gratitude and wonder at the transformative power of love.
Overall, the lyrics of "Sleeping Beauty" speak to the idea that love has the power to awaken us from our slumber and bring us fully to life. The song captures the feeling of being lost and disconnected from the world and then suddenly being awakened by the touch of another person, a feeling that is both terrifying and exhilarating.
