Falling Asleep
Lucky 7 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Blacked out all the words I couldn't say.
Too much is never enough for you.
Situation might sort out easily.
But frustration gets the best of me.
'Till the end there's nothing left to lose.
Nothing seems to go my way.
Yeah.
So as you're falling asleep,
I hope you got what you need.
There's nothing left that you could say.
Lying there, you're a lie to me.
You're a lie to me.
Messed up sweet angel leaves a bad taste.
Fed up cause you always try to save face.
Every star I wish upon falls on me.
Nothing seems to go my way.
Gonna drive my car off the edge of this dead-end highway.
Yeah.
So as you're falling asleep,
I hope you got what you need.
There's nothing left that you could say.
Lying there, you're a lie to me.
So as you're falling asleep,
I hope you got what you need.
There's nothing left that you could say.
Lying there, you're a lie to me.
Hurting like a Monday,
And dreaming of a Sunday.
Too much to make too soon.
Yeah.
So as you're falling asleep,
I hope you got what you need.
There's nothing left that you could say.
Lying there, you're a lie to me.
So as you're falling asleep,
I hope you got what you need.
There's nothing left that you could say.
Lying there, you're a lie to me.
You're a lie to me.
Don't lie to me. (2)
You're a lie to me.
The lyrics of Lucky 7's "Falling Asleep" portrays a sense of frustration and despondency. The opening lines "Stressed out, hurting like a Monday. Blacked out all the words I couldn't say" indicates that the singer is feeling overwhelmed and is unable to communicate their feelings. The line "Too much is never enough for you" suggests that the singer is dealing with a demanding relationship. They must maintain a certain level of expectations, and it's never enough.
The chorus "So as you're falling asleep, I hope you got what you need. There's nothing left that you could say. Lying there, you're a lie to me. You're a lie to me" could mean that the singer is going through a break-up or a separation. The line "Lying there, you're a lie to me" suggests that the person they are falling asleep next to is not being honest or is hiding something from them.
In the second verse, the lyrics "Every star I wish upon falls on me" is a metaphor for how the singer feels - like everything they wish for turns out against them. They feel helpless and are unable to make things go their way. The line "Messed up sweet angel leaves a bad taste. Fed up cause you always try to save face" indicates again that the singer is dealing with a relationship that has left a sour taste.
Overall, "Falling Asleep" is a song about feeling lost, frustrated, and helpless in a relationship that is not working out.
