Sleep Tight
Ostap Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You never held the keys
Of the dreams you never had
You never tended to regret
And it's just too late
You always tried your best
And I guess you were not blessed
You never saw the signs
That you looked for

I wanna find my way for a day
I wanna learn to heal my knees
If there was a better choice to make
I'd better be blind
I wanna find my way for a day
I wanna learn to heal my knees
If there was a better choice to make
I'd better be blind
I wanna sleep tight

Your hair has turned grey
And your eyes are not the same
You feel it in your bones
That you're the old man
Your sails are full of holes
Even lonely breezes can't take you home
To the lighthouse
That blinks from the height
I wanna sleep tight

I wanna sleep tight
I wanna sleep tight
I wanna sleep tight

I wanna find my way for a day
I wanna learn to heal my knees
If there was a better choice to make
I'd better be blind
I wanna find my way for a day
I wanna learn to heal my knees
If there was a better choice to make
I'd better be blind
I wanna sleep tight

I wanna sleep tight
I wanna sleep tight
I wanna sleep tight
I wanna sleep tight
I wanna sleep tight
I wanna sleep tight
I wanna sleep tight
I wanna sleep tight

I wanna find my way for a day
I wanna learn to heal my knees
If there was a better choice to make
I'd better be blind
I wanna find my way for a day
I wanna learn to heal my knees
If there was a better choice to make




I'd better be blind
I wanna sleep tight

Overall Meaning

In this song, Ostap talks about a person who has never been able to achieve their dreams, who has never lived with the regrets of what they could have done, and who always tried their best but still didn't succeed. The person never saw the signs they were looking for and now finds themselves old, with grey hair and eyes that don't hold the same spark anymore. The person's sails are full of holes, which means even if they catch a breeze, they cannot find their way home. The lighthouse that used to guide them from afar no longer blinks from the height.


Ostap expresses a desire to find his way for a day, to heal his knees and make better choices that will lead him on a clear path. The repetition of lyrics "I wanna find my way for a day, I wanna learn to heal my knees" emphasizes the need for a change for a better future. If there was a better choice to make, the singer would be blind, meaning that whatever decision he makes, it will be with conviction and without any hesitation.


The refrain "I wanna sleep tight" suggests a desire to rest or to have closure from a tiring, unfruitful journey. This could mean finding peace in one's heart and mind or being able to rest for a while after a long journey. Ostap could be speaking about himself or someone else, but the message is clear: the importance of finding one's path, making good choices, and finding a sense of peace at the end of it all.
