Put Me To Sleep
Porcelain Raft Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Restrain yourself and then you die
Did you tell your friends how much you miss them all
And how great is to live in a brand new world
And it’s hard tonight for me to talk
Anyway it’s too late, the party is over and I really need to go
Would you do something for me, do something for me
This headache I have is writing a book all over my brain
I didn’t find my shoes and the night is about to end
And I think I’ve lost my voice again
I need you now, I hope you understand
Would you do something for me, do something for me
Would you put me to sleep, put me to sleep…
The lyrics of Porcelain Raft's song "Put Me To Sleep" seem to touch upon themes of exhaustion, loneliness and longing for comfort. The opening lines "stop to complain and turn your head around, restrain yourself and then you die" perhaps suggest the idea of suppressing one's feelings for so long that it can lead to a sense of emotional death. The lyrics then move on to the notion of missing friends and the feeling of living in a brand new world; perhaps hinting at a sense of disconnect or a feeling of being lost.
As the song progresses, it seems to delve deeper into the experience of feeling overwhelmed and exhausted; the line "this headache I have is writing a book all over my brain" conjures up images of a brain consumed with thoughts, ideas, worries and anxieties. Throughout the song, there is a sense of wanting to be comforted and cared for, as evidenced by the repeated plea to "put me to sleep."
Overall, the lyrics of "Put Me To Sleep" convey a deeply personal and relatable experience of exhaustion and loneliness, and the longing for someone to care for us and provide us with the comfort that we seek.
