Put My Dreams To Sleep
Kerbera Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
I stared a hole right into the wall
Thought I′d escape, but they held me down
And I don't know them, I just wanted to be
Everything they said that I couldn′t be
But that's an illusion that I can't keep up
Wanted to say that I′m sorry
That I′m always dancing to the wrong beat
Maybe that's what death looks like to you
And I thought that I was insane
Don′t let them end up like me
(Oh, put my dreams to sleep)
(Oh, put my dreams to sleep)
Only the coffin surrounding me is missing now
I was never this beautiful when I was alive
What I have said and what I have done
Will all make sense on the day that I'm gone?
My head was a prison, take care of my heart
And bury the rest
Wanted to say that I′m sorry
That I'm always dancing to the wrong beat
Maybe that′s what death looks like to you
And I thought that I was insane
Don't let them end up like me
(Oh, put my dreams to sleep)
(Oh, put my dreams to sleep)
Oh, put my dreams to sleep
Oh, put my dreams to sleep
Sorry that I'm always dancing to the wrong beat
Maybe that′s how death looks
What I have said and what I have done
Will all make sense on the day that I′m gone?
Keep poisoning me
Keep poisoning me
I was never insane, just keep poisoning me
What I have said and what I have done
Will all make sense on the day that I'm gone? (Oh, put my dreams to sleep)
Keep poisoning me (Oh, put my dreams to sleep)
Keep poisoning me
I′m on the border, keep poisoning me
Until I am gone
Until I am gone (Oh, put my dreams to sleep)
Please just let me go, I can't sleep till I′m gone
Let me go, no, please just set me free (Oh, put my dreams to sleep)
Put my dreams to sleep and rest
"Put My Dreams To Sleep" is a powerful song that explores themes of feeling trapped and misunderstood. The song starts with the vocalist feeling trapped and held down against their will; they feel as though they are not living their life but are instead living according to someone else's expectations. The line "Everything they said that I couldn't be, but that's an illusion that I can't keep up, not anymore" draws the listener's attention to how the singer has been convinced that they cannot be something they dream of becoming. The singer feels like they are not allowed to be themselves, and it's causing them to become insane.
In the second verse, the singer is apologizing for the life they have lived, feeling like they have always been dancing to the wrong beat. They recognize that their actions and thoughts will only make sense once they are gone, and they ask the listener to take care of their heart after they are gone. The line "My head was a prison, take care of my heart, and bury the rest" portrays the singer's acceptance of their own misfortunes while acknowledging the hope that they can rest in peace.

What to say...
what to say..
I stared a hole right into the wall
Thought I'd escape but they held me down
And I dont know them, just wanted to be everything they said that I couldnt be
But that's an illusion that I cant keep up, not anymore
Wanted to say that I'm sorry that I'm always dancing to the wrong beat,
Maybe that's what death looks like to you.
And I thought that I was insane
Dont let them end up like me
Only the coffin surrounding me is missing now
I was never this beautiful when I was alive
What I have said and what I have done will all make sense on the day that I'm gone
My head was a prison take care of my heart, burry the rest
Wanted to say that I'm sorry I'm always dancing to the wrong beat, maybe that's what death looks like to you
And I thought that I was insane
Don't let them end up like me
Oh put my dreams to sleep,
Oh put my dreams to sleep.
Sorry that I'm always dancing to the wrong beat,
Maybe that's how death looks
What I have said and what I have done will all make sense on the day that I'm gone.
Keep poisoning me, keep poisoning me, I was never insane just keep poisoning me.
All that I've said and all that ive done, will all make sense on the day that I'm gone.
Keep poisoning me, keep poisoning me, I'm underwater keep poisoning me.
Until I am gone, until i am gone,
please just let me go I just need to let go let me go.
Now, please just let me be,
put my dreams to sleep at last

Traducción al español:
Que debo decir
Que debo decir
Inicie un nuevo agujero en la pared
Pensé que escaparía pero ellos me sujetaron
Y no los conozco, yo solo quería ser todo lo que ellos dijeron que no podría ser
Pero esa es una ilusión que no puedo aguantar
Ya no más
Y quiero decir que lamento que siempre este bailando al ritmo equivocado
Tal vez así es como ves la muerte
Y pensé que estaba loco
No dejes que terminen como yo
Solo falta el ataúd que me rodee ahora
Nunca fui tan bello como cuando estuve vivo
Todo lo que dije y todo lo que hice tendrá sentido el día que me vaya
Mi cabeza es una prisión, cuida de mi corazón, borra el resto
Quiero decir que lamento que siempre esté bailando al ritmo equivocado
Tal vez así es como ves la muerte
Y pensé que estaba loco
No dejes que terminen como yo
Pon mis sueños a dormir
Pon mis sueños a dormir
Perdón por estar bailando siempre al ritmo equivocado
Tal vez así se ve la muerte
Todo lo que dije y todo lo que hice tendrá sentido el día que me vaya
Así que envenename, así que envenename, nunca estuve loco así que envenename
Todo lo que dije y todo lo que hice tendrá sentido el día que me vaya
Así que envenename, así que envenename, estoy bajo el agua así que envenename
Hasta que me vaya, hasta que me vaya, por favor déjame ir, solo necesito dejarlo ir, déjame ir, ahora, por favor déjame por favor
Pon mis sueños a dormir al final

Perfect ♥️
My eyes are tearing up because everything about this video captures the indescribably strong emotions they accompany being suicidal.
The shame, the frustration, the twisted self image, the anger, the loneliness, the insanity, and so many other feelings.
You guys captured them all and put them into a visual that will tell the story better than any words ever could.
I'm so proud of you all for making it this far and putting this out there. This took dedication and vulnerability beyond belief.
Keep going guys and don't let anyone change you. We'll be right behind you the whole way!
@justapanpirate
Can I just say that I am incredibly happy that you decided to give life one last chance all those years ago?
@DenisAshton
Same!

Seike screams like a beast, I'm so shocked
@LeslieannOtero
I cried listening to the song and now I cried with the video. Everything about this hits me deep inside. You took these raw, harsh and corrosive feelings and despair and turned them into one of your most beautiful songs and artistic music videos. You guys have no idea how amazing and special you are. I'm so glad I can listen to you. Thanks for keeping your passion and art alive.
@SEIKE

@ziggyprice4780
Forever ❤
They may be disbanded now but I'm so thankful for everything they did and gave. They've changed so many lives and all I can wish for them is nothing but happiness.

Am I the only one feeling the time that has passed, seike is a grown man now, got used to his seremedy look and kinda makes me feel like we grown up together in some way.. Still waiting For seremedy discography to be on spotify Love his voice and lyrics
@kingerty5574
I messaged him a year or two ago asking about bringing Welcome To Our Madness to spotify he said it wouldn't happen. Maybe an issue with Universal/Ninetone? Because we have the E.P.s.
