Slumber
Lewis Watson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Keep me un alone
Until I go to sleep
Until I go to sleep
The faint smell of your clothes
Reminds me that I'm home
Sink me into sleep
Lately I've been laying lonely
Love
Longing to be dreaming of
Only you who can calm the thunders
Only you who can steal the colors oh
It's only you my love
Only you my love
It's only you
Come ease my slumber
We'll watch the sky explode
From the beautiful below
When we're both asleep
When we're both asleep
Keep the light away
Let the night time play
When we're both asleep
When we're both asleep
Lately I've been laying lonely love
Longing to be dreaming of
It's only you who can calm the thunders
Only you who can steal the color oh
It's only you my love
Only you my love
It's only you
Come ease my slumber
Come sing me a slow
Keep me un alone
Until I go to sleep
Until I go to sleep
The song "Slumber" by Lewis Watson is a slow ballad that reflects on the comfort and emotional connection that two individuals share when they are together. The lyrics describe a person who is feeling lonely and unable to sleep but finds solace in the thought of their loved one. The first verse invites the partner to sing a slow, soothing song that will help the singer fall asleep. The lyrics also mention the faint smell of their partner's clothes as a reminder of home, which creates a sense of ease and comfort.
The chorus repeats the phrase "It's only you, my love," which emphasizes the idea of the singer's significant other being the only person who can calm their thoughts and bring them peace. The second verse goes on to describe the singer's desire to dream of their loved one, noting that they are the only one who can calm their "thunders" and "steal the colors." This creates a metaphorical image of the singer's emotions being very intense, but their partner can ease their mind and bring a sense of brightness to their life.

Come sing me a slow
Requesting someone to sing a slow song
Keep me un alone
A plea to not feel alone
Until I go to sleep
Asking for company until the singer falls asleep
The faint smell of your clothes
A reminder of home and comfort
Reminds me that I'm home
The reminder makes the artist feel like they're at home
Sink me into sleep
Requesting to be put to sleep
Lately I've been laying lonely
The singer has been feeling lonely lately
Love
Addressing their love
Longing to be dreaming of
Desiring and hoping to dream of their love
Only you who can calm the thunders
Only their love can calm their worries and fears
Only you who can steal the colors oh
Their love is the only one who can make their life bright and colorful
It's only you my love
Addressing their love and how they are the only one for them
Come ease my slumber
Asking for their love to calm them and make it easier for them to sleep
We'll watch the sky explode
Dreaming of watching a beautiful sky
From the beautiful below
Watching the sky from a beautiful place
Keep the light away
Asking for the light to be kept away so they can sleep
Let the night time play
Allowing the night to happen and bring a calm feeling
