Sleep Well
Lydia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Liar, liar
You never called
But I'll be just fine, yeah I'm fine
Sleep well

This never made much sense to me so I sleep alone
Cause you are the same as I always remembered
I'll always remember
Where was all your money
You said, where is all your money

You like it more than ever
And I cannot stand this
Because you like it more than ever

It was just a goddamn mistake
Stay at home
Because you're way to good at taking
Love is too much
I'll be just fine here
Stay at home, because it's always the same
Darling you fucked up

I guess I love to spend all my time up in my own brain
Because I can't believe the words coming up out of your face

Where was all your money
You said, where is all your money
You like it more than ever
And I cannot stand this
You like it more than ever

I guess they all knew

Somebody draw the sun
Those states made me distant
Tell me it's alright
Tell me it's better

Well I can't believe you're still in the valley
Wasting away
I guess they got the best of me




And got your all
But I'll just be fine here

Overall Meaning

Lydia's song Sleep Well is a heartfelt track that speaks to the pain and confusion of a failed relationship. The opening lines "Liar, liar, you never called, but I'll be just fine, yeah I'm fine, sleep well" are a clear indication of the singer's deep hurt and disappointment. The repeated reference to sleep well could either refer to the singer wishing the other party well or a more cynical message of wanting them to feel the same pain that she is going through.


The subsequent lines, "This never made much sense to me so I sleep alone, cause you are the same as I always remembered, I'll always remember" appear to be an acknowledgement of the singer's self-awareness of the situation, her acceptance of the aftermath of a broken relationship and her unwillingness to stay in something that no longer serves her. The following line, "Where was all your money, you said, where is all your money" could be an indication of financial infidelity or dishonesty.


The pre-chorus, "You like it more than ever and I cannot stand this, because you like it more than ever" and the chorus "It was just a goddamn mistake, stay at home, because you're way too good at taking, love is too much, I'll be just fine here, stay at home, because it's always the same, darling you fucked up" are incredibly poignant, illustrating a sense of finality to the relationship and the singer's resolve to move forward without the other person. The song ends with the line, "I guess they got the best of me and got your all, but I'll just be fine here," signaling closure and a determination to keep going despite the heartbreak.


Overall, Sleep Well is a beautiful ode to the pain and healing process of dealing with a relationship that didn't work out. The lyrics are simple yet incredibly impactful and provide an insight into the singer's psyche, as well as the universal experiences of heartache and failed love.

Liar,
You never called.
But I'll be just fine, yeah I'm fine,
Sleep well.

This never made much sense to me
So I sleep alone.
Cause you are the same as I always remembered,
I'll always remember.
Where was all your money.
You said, where is all your money.

You like it more than ever,
And I can not stand this.
Because you like it more than ever.

It was just a god damn mistake.
Stay at home,
Because you're way to good at faking.
Love is too much,
I'll be just fine here.
Stay at home,
Because it's always the same.
Darling you fucked up.

I guess I love to spend all my time up in my own brain.
Because I can believe the words coming up out of your face.

Where was all your money.
You said, where is all your money.

You like it more than ever,
And I can not stand this.
Because you like it more than ever.

I guess they all knew.
Somebody draw the sun.
Those states made me distant.
Tell me it's always, better.

Well I can't believe you're still in the valley,
Wasting away.
I guess they got the best of me,
And got your all.
But I'll be just fine here.

This is undefinable. This band is just too good. But whenever i listen to them, all i think of is skyrims lydia and the way tobuscus always pronounces lydia hehe :3

Most of my friends listen to this band and i never really bothered to check them out. Just recently i came across one of heir songs by mistake and immediately fell in love. I'm not one of those people who 'knew this band before it was mainstream' im a new listener and loving them so much.
