Sleep
Mars Electric Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You pulled me in your world, only to push me out again
And what I thought I found was lost in myself again
Now the bitter essence shines I think I finally wrapped myself in you
I only dream until I sleep
I turn away the sun that covers me
I only wanted you to see
I woke up from the dream, I breathe your name and I can't explain
And you know it's all I think about the way I wanna be
So lift me up from here before I drown in your sea again
I only dream until I sleep
I turn away the sun that covers me
I only wanted you to see
I only wanted you to see and I don't mind
If this somber sky is falling
I only dream until I sleep
I turn away the sun that covers me
I only wanted you to see
The lyrics in "Sleep" by Mars Electric describe the emotional turmoil and confusion of being in a tumultuous relationship. The first stanza sets the stage, as the singer admits to hanging around despite the "cold and angry scars of life." They are drawn to their partner's world, but continuously pushed out. The second stanza reveals the singer's frustration with their inability to find what they were looking for in their partner. They feel lost and bitter, and have finally come to the realization that they were wrapped up in their partner.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the singer's desire to be seen by their partner. They dream of a deep connection with them, but can only achieve this when they sleep. They turn away from the light of the sun that covers them, seeking a darker, more intimate experience. The bridge highlights the intensity of these feelings, as the singer admits that their partner is all they can think about. They feel like they are drowning in their love for their partner.
Overall, "Sleep" is a song about the complexities of relationships and the human desire for connection. It explores the internal struggles that come with loving someone intensely, but not always feeling seen or understood.
