LIFE DONT SLEEP ft. Willow Smith
Jabs Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Jump in (jump in) into our red sea
And we don't (we don't) get no sleep
And finally (finally oh)
You've grown into the person I
Know you to be

Life don't sleep when the lights are off
You've come to see me but I've taken off
But she's still gone when he wakes up
(she's gone, she's gone)

Life don't sleep when the lights are off
People talk to me but I don't respond cause
I'm in the clouds trying to find mars

Life don't sleep when the lights are off
People talk to me but I don't respond cause
I'm in the clouds trying to find mars

You've got a face of leather
Rough like your dreams your
World's inside out you're dreaming
(you're dreaming) tomorrows dreams

And you've been wondering why all
Your teeth are rotten
You've been lying through you're
Teeth to me (wa oh, wa oh)
Are you seeing clearly these things
You're saying to me baby (wa oh, wa oh)

All my plants are dying
They couldn't live that long so she
Creates her own dimension for them
(she creates her own dimension for them)

Life don't sleep when the light are off
People talk to me but I don't respond cause
I'm in the clouds trying to find mars
Life don't sleep when the lights are off
People talk to me but I don't respond cause




I'm in the clouds trying to find mars
(Life don't sleep, Life don't sleep)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Jabs's song "Life Don't Sleep" ft. Willow Smith depict a sense of disconnection and introspection. The opening lines, "Jump in, into our red sea, And we don't get no sleep," suggest diving into the depths of emotions and experiences, facing them head-on without rest or respite. The phrase "finally, you've grown into the person I know you to be" signifies acceptance and recognition of personal growth and transformation.


The chorus repeats the idea that life doesn't sleep, even when the lights are off. It implies that life continues to move forward, even in the darkness or when one tries to escape or disconnect from reality. The lines "I'm in the clouds trying to find Mars" convey a desire to escape from the mundane and earthly concerns, seeking something more distant and otherworldly.


The second verse introduces a metaphorical interpretation, comparing the roughness of the person's face to their dreams and their world being turned inside out. This can be seen as a representation of inner struggles and conflicts. The mention of teeth being rotten and lying through them suggests dishonesty or self-deception. The lines "Are you seeing clearly these things you're saying to me baby" hint at the need for self-awareness and understanding of one's own actions and words.


The last lines of the song introduce a peculiar image of dying plants and the creation of a personal dimension for them. This may symbolize the struggle to find meaning and nurture one's own sense of purpose amidst a seemingly lifeless or deteriorating environment.
