Sleep
Modwheelmood Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take some wine to open your eyes
Take the time
What's up with you my friend?
I think it's all the same
I wish that I could help you
I wish that I could help you with your mind
Well, come on
It's been some time
It's been some time
Goodbye, it's not an easy thing to do
And pardon me if I don't see your point of view
I've been inside the red room
I break the shit you've been through
All the tears and all those years
I wish that I could help you
I wish that I could touch you

Why do you sleep? No one wants to sleep.
Why do you sleep? No one wants to sleep.
Why do you sleep when no one wants...
What do you dream? I don't want to see
Why do you sleep? I don't want to sleep.
Why do you, why do you, why do you, why do you
Why do you sleep when no one wants...

Still the same
Therefore getting used to what I do
And I don't see I still can't feel your point of view
I'm stuck in freakin' lamewood
It's running into circles
It's been a dream, it's been for real
I wish that I could go through
I wish that I could go through

Why do you sleep? No one wants to sleep.
Why do you sleep? No one wants to sleep.
Why do you sleep when no one wants...
What do you dream? I don't want to see
Why do you sleep? I don't want to sleep.
Why do you, why do you, why do you, why do you
Why do you sleep when no one wants...

When no one wants....

Rejected, here I am I'm innocent, I'm innocent
Rejected, here I am I'm innocent, I'm innocent, innocent, innocent
So let me ask once again:

Why do you sleep? No one wants to sleep.
Why do you sleep? I don't want to sleep.
Why do you sleep when no one wants...
What do you dream? I don't want to see.
Why do you sleep? I don't want to sleep.
Why do you? Why do you? Why do you? Why do you?
Why do you sleep when no one wants...
Why do you sleep? No one wants to sleep.
Why do you sleep? I don't want to sleep.
Why do you sleep when no one wants...
What do you dream? I don't want to see.
Why do you sleep? I don't want to sleep.
Why do you? Why do you? Why do you? Why do you?
Why do you sleep?




Why do you sleep?
Why do you....

Overall Meaning

The song Sleep by Modwheelmood seems to be about someone who is struggling to understand and connect with another person who is going through a difficult time. The opening lines suggest that the person needs to let go of their inhibitions and become more open-minded in order to understand what is going on. Later in the song, the person reflects on how it's been a challenge to say goodbye to someone and how they don't quite see things from the other person's point of view. However, despite this distance, the person wants to help and be there for the other person.


The chorus asks the question "Why do you sleep when no one wants to sleep?" This could be interpreted in a few ways. It could suggest that the person is metaphorically "asleep," or unaware of what is happening around them. Alternatively, it could be a nod towards insomnia, as sleeping when no one wants to suggests that the person is struggling to fall asleep even when they want to. The lines "What do you dream? I don't want to see" hint that there may be some unpleasant things happening in the other person's mind during their sleeping hours.


Overall, the song appears to be a plea for understanding and connection. The singer wants to help the other person in some way, but feels like they're not quite there yet. The repetition of the chorus and the final lines suggest that there is an ongoing struggle to connect deeply with another person.

Ironic you point that out - I find Modwheelmood harder songs to sing (on average) than Nine Inch Nails ones... odd, but in a good way.

Molly Monaco
