Sleepless
Girlpool Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I paint the wall, the wall is paint
Holding a glass jar of change
With white tape and my last name
The room's beige, it's a mess
You dream to be sleepless
The room's beige, it's a mess
I live in a gallery that no one's ever seen
Sometimes all the golden fruit falls down on top of me
The room's beige, it's a mess
You dream to be sleepless
The room's beige, it's a mess
You dream to be sleepless
The lyrics of Girlpool's Sleepless seem to speak about living in an unconventional space that is both messy and monochromatic. The singer steps into her own shoes, painting the walls with white tape and her last name, creating a small world of her own design. She expresses how the beige and messy space is perfect in the way it inspires her to dream continuously, to never sleep. She continues to talk about living in a gallery that no one has ever seen, projecting an image of a place that feels hidden and undiscovered. The golden fruits represent opportunities, that come to her unexpectedly and could be a metaphor for how inspiration could come in many unexpected shapes and forms.
The song is short yet incredibly thought-provoking as it speaks to the audience about the creative process, inspiration and the ways oneself can create an endless stream of thoughts to feed off of. The song could be interpreted as being autobiographical where the band, after success and touring, end up creating a place of their own which reflects their interests and creative concepts.
Overall, Girlpool's Sleepless is a beautifully crafted song, delivering a message about the mental, physical and emotional space one creates in order to create or produce art.

Stepped into my shoes today
Today, I've taken up the responsibility of being myself
I paint the wall, the wall is paint
I'm giving up on trying to be someone I'm not and accepting my plain and simple self
Holding a glass jar of change
I am grasping the possibility of change, holding onto a container filled with it
With white tape and my last name
I want to leave a mark of my own even if it's a small one
The room's beige, it's a mess
My surroundings represent the clutter and monotony in my life
You dream to be sleepless
You aspire to be endlessly engaged and awake, even if it comes at the cost of exhaustion
The room's beige, it's a mess
My surroundings represent the clutter and monotony in my life
You dream to be sleepless
You aspire to be endlessly engaged and awake, even if it comes at the cost of exhaustion
I live in a gallery that no one's ever seen
I feel like I'm living a life that is not seen or understood by anyone around me
Sometimes all the golden fruit falls down on top of me
Sometimes I experience moments of unexpected beauty and joy in my life
