Lullaby
S.C.O. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sleep, my doe
She is wrapped in curtains
Laid in snow
She will bury you inside her fur
Do not sleep
She waits for you to sleep
She waits for you to sleep
My breath you breathe
It will carry you
My breath you breathe
It carries you
Do not sleep
She waits for you to sleep
Do not sleep
My starling, do not sleep
The lyrics to S.C.O.'s song Lullaby are haunting and beautiful, prompting a number of possible interpretations. The song begins with the singer addressing a starling, telling it not to sleep. The next line switches to the singer addressing a doe, encouraging it to sleep. The image of the doe wrapped in curtains and snow is both cozy and mournful, as if the singer is bidding farewell to the creature. The final line of the first verse states that the doe "will bury you inside her fur," simultaneously offering comfort and foreshadowing death.
The second verse repeats the refrain "Do not sleep," but this time adds the line "She waits for you to sleep." It's unclear who "she" refers to - perhaps death itself. The final lines of the song introduce a new element, with the singer referring to "my breath." The repeated line "My breath you breathe / It carries you" suggests a connection between the singer and the listener beyond the physical plane. The final line once again addresses the starling and begs it not to sleep.
Overall, S.C.O.'s song Lullaby explores themes of comfort, loss, and mortality. The lyrics are open to interpretation and leave much space for the listener to imagine their own story.

Do not sleep, my starling
Do not let your guard down, my love
Sleep, my doe
Rest easy, my dear
She is wrapped in curtains
She is shrouded in mystery
Laid in snow
Enveloped in a cold, quiet environment
She will bury you inside her fur
She will protect you from harm
She waits for you to sleep
She is patient and waits for you to let your guard down
My breath you breathe
I am always with you, even in the smallest things
It will carry you
I will support you and lift you up
My starling, do not sleep
Stay alert and don't let your guard down

" Distant memories..." -- My beautiful caring wife Fiona and I use to play this short composition, while our wonderful son Boris sleep soundly at night from the age of 6 to 12 months or so -- after consuming warm milk or crying due to un-pleasant experience from teething -- those were magical moments for me and now are " Distant Memories".
" Brahms Lullaby "
Lullaby, and good night, in the skies stars are bright
May the moon, silvery beams, bring you with dreams
Close you eyes, now and rest, may these hours be blessed
Till the sky's bright with dawn, when you wake with a yawn
Lullaby, and good night, you are mother's delight
I'll protect you from harm, and you'll wake in my arms
Sleepyhead, close your eyes, for I'm right beside you
Guardian angels are near, so sleep without fear
Lullaby, and good night, with roses be-dight
Lilies o'er head, lay thee down in thy bed
Lullaby, and good night, you are mother's delight
I'll protect you from harm, and you'll wake in my arms
Lullaby, and sleep tight, my darling sleeping
On sheets white as cream, with the head full of dreams
Sleepyhead, close your eyes, I'm right beside you
Lay thee down now and rest, may you slumber the best
Go to sleep, little one, think of puppies and kittens.
Go to sleep, little one, think of butterflies in spring.
Go to sleep, little one, think of sunny bright mornings.
Hush, darling one, sleep through the night
Sleep through the night
Sleep through the night.
