Sleep
Naomi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Met your match? Lose your jacket?
A unique way to wear it
And the meek will inherit
Sleep
Born again, get together
It's the when, not the whether
As we speak, steep and stony
Do the dance, thank you Jesus
New romance, new diseases
Motor home's where your heart is
Kodachrome - you're the artist
Sleep
Sleep, safe and sound
Night don't count
I know that you can
Like everybody else can
Sleep, come back down
Compensate
We know that you can
Like everybody, like everybody
Get a job, get arrested
Soda pop as requested
Anyday, animated
Underpaid, overrated
Candy floss, let's get ready
Who's the boss? Who's your daddy?
Have some beers, write a letter
In ten years you'll feel better
Sleep
Naomi's song "Sleep" presents a combination of meaningful and abstract lyrics that are open to interpretation. The singer seems to suggest a cycle of life, death, and rebirth. The opening lines of "Just a scratch for the record. Met your match? Lose your jacket?" could refer to a fight or a battle where someone left their jacket behind as they ran away defeated, leaving behind a "scratch" on the record of their success. "And the meek will inherit. Sleep" suggests that the underdogs or those who are weak and unassuming in society will eventually triumph or inherit something great, but they must first find rest or peace through sleep. This cycle of life seems never-ending, where people are born again and come together to experience both good and bad things.
The lyrics "Turn a cheek, kick a pony. As we speak, steep and stony" present a contrast between turning the other cheek and being kind to someone versus kicking a pony, which represents abuse or mistreatment. The "steep and stony" imagery could suggest that this cycle of life is filled with challenges and obstacles that people must face. "Do the dance, thank you Jesus. New romance, new diseases" seems to criticize religion and how people often use it as a way to cope with the harsh realities of life. The mention of "new diseases" may be a nod to the reality of disease and its impact on human life.
The closing lines of "Get a job, get arrested. Soda pop as requested" represents the societal expectations and the struggles of everyday life. The lyrics suggest that people often engage in mundane activities, such as asking for a soda pop or getting a job, while they also face difficulties, such as getting arrested. Overall, the song seems to suggest that people should find rest and solace in sleep, even in the midst of life's difficulties, and that this cycle of life, with its ups and downs, is something that we must all go through.
