Sleepwalk
In Dreams Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My throat's too tired and the nation's built on sand
Fighting fire with your hands
Money burns so much better on foreign land
Do you just want to sleep?
Do you just walk in to emergencies?
Am I supposed to believe
And when the herd has woken up you'll beg
That we'll forgive you; but we don't forget
You gotta pinch yourself
You're running from a hurricane
Hurting everyone who says
You gotta show yourself
We found your hiding place
Why don't you sleep to dream?
Why don't you focus all your energy?
Who don't you leave your uncertainty?
I'll meet you on the other side
And when the herd has woken up you'll beg
That we'll forgive you; but we don't forget
You gotta pinch yourself
You're running from a hurricane
Hurting everyone who says
You gotta show yourself
We found your hiding place
On and on we go so long
Fighting wars and making love
On and on we never find our way
On and on we go so long
Fighting wars and making love
On and on we'll help the ones who stray
Are you a lucky one?
And when the herd has woken up you'll beg
That we'll forgive you but we don't forget
You gotta pinch yourself
You're running from a hurricane
Hurting everyone who says
You gotta show yourself
We found your hiding place
The lyrics of "Sleepwalk" by In Dreams are open to many interpretations. The song talks about feelings of exhaustion and disillusionment with society and how it operates. The lyrics seem to suggest a sort of helplessness and frustration, as if the singer has given up on trying to make any real changes in the world. The first verse talks about the singer's reluctance to express their emotions vocally, as though speaking out or making a scene is seen as a waste of time. The second verse poses a series of rhetorical questions that, when taken together, seem to suggest the ultimate futility of our individual existences. The herd mentioned throughout the song might be interpreted as society in general, sheepishly following the same path to meaningless existence.
The chorus serves as a sort of indictment of those in power, who run from responsibility and hurt others in the process. The last lines of the song seem to hint at a longing for something more, something that is beyond the physical world. The singer implores the listener to focus their energy and leave behind their uncertainties. The song also touches on themes of forgiveness and forgetting, questioning whether it is truly possible to forgive those who have wronged us.

I don't want to cry out loud
I am tired of expressing myself in vain
My throat's too tired and the nation's built on sand
My voice has no impact as the country's foundation is weak

Money burns so much better on foreign land
Money invested abroad yields better returns than in the home country
