Sleepless Nights
Sam Ryder Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ночами, рассветами
Звездами в окнах
Придуманным опытом
Вечно, без времени
Но мы с тобой связаны
Не важно, чье-то там мнение
Они не знают про нас
Как живем вдохновением
Вдох-выдох
Мы не играли в любимых
И снова вдох выдох
Не важно, сколько попыток
Мы найдем друг друга снова, навсегда
Даже если вновь закроют города
Но знаешь? Больно без тебя
Это больше, чем скучаю
Знаешь, как болит душа?
И к рукам твоим так тянет
И к губам твоим отчаянно
События все манит
Буду верить, что судьба
Обними меня!
Мы с тобой обязательно встретимся!
Ведь наши мечты об одном!
Пусть пока за окном холодно, но одним утром проснемся вдвоем
Мы проснемся вдвое-е-ем
Каждый взгляд, снова смотрю в бездну
Каждый взгляд, где же ты, где вечность?
Так боюсь
Не найти тебя!
Но помню
Что.-
The lyrics of Sam Ryder's song "Sleepless Nights" convey a deep connection between two people who share an unbreakable bond. The song speaks of their nights spent together, from dusk till dawn, enveloped in their love. The imagery of stars shining through the windows symbolizes the magic and dreamlike quality of their relationship. They have created their own experiences and memories which transcend time and space.
No matter what others may think or say about them, it doesn't matter. They remain unaware of their love and do not understand how they live inspired by each other. The repetition of "inhale-exhale" emphasizes the idea of being in sync, breathing together, and sharing every moment.
Despite any hardships they may face or how many times they try to find each other again, they will always reunite, forever. The pain of being apart is greater than just missing each other. It is a soul-deep ache that longs for the touch of hands and the desperation to be near their beloved's lips. The events of the world, the circumstances around them, all beckon them, but they remain steadfast in their belief that destiny will bring them back together. The plea to "embrace me" demonstrates the yearning for physical closeness and the certainty that they will meet again.
Overall, "Sleepless Nights" explores the enduring connection between two individuals who find solace and inspiration in each other's presence. It highlights the power of love to transcend time and circumstances, and the belief that their dreams align with one another, leading to a future where they wake up together.

Мы с тобой связаны
We are connected, you and I
Ночами, рассветами
Through nights and dawns
Звездами в окнах
With stars in our windows
Придуманным опытом
With fabricated experience
Вечно, без времени
Forever, timeless
Но мы с тобой связаны
But we are connected, you and I
Не важно, чье-то там мнение
Whose opinion doesn't matter
Они не знают про нас
They don't know about us
Не знают любви
They don't know about love
Как живем вдохновением
How we live with inspiration
Вдох-выдох
Inhale and exhale
Мы не играли в любимых
We didn't play favorites
И снова вдох выдох
And again, inhale and exhale
Не важно, сколько попыток
It doesn't matter how many attempts
Мы найдем друг друга снова, навсегда
We will find each other again, forever
Даже если вновь закроют города
Even if the cities close again
Но знаешь? Больно без тебя
But you know what? It hurts without you
Это больше, чем скучаю
It's more than just missing
Знаешь, как болит душа?
Do you know how the soul aches?
И к рукам твоим так тянет
And how it longs for your hands
И к губам твоим отчаянно
And desperately to your lips
События все манит
All the events entice
Буду верить, что судьба
I will believe that fate
Обними меня!
Embrace me!
Мы с тобой обязательно встретимся!
We will definitely meet, you and I!
Ведь наши мечты об одном!
Because our dreams are about the same thing!
Пусть пока за окном холодно, но одним утром проснемся вдвоем
Let it be cold outside for now, but one morning we will wake up together
Мы проснемся вдвое-е-ем
We will wake up together
Каждый взгляд, снова смотрю в бездну
Every glance, I look into the abyss again
Каждый взгляд, где же ты, где вечность?
Every glance, where are you, where is eternity?
Так боюсь
I'm so afraid
Не найти тебя!
Not to find you!
Но помню
But I remember
Что.
That.

I absolutely loved Tonys voice, and it upsets me greatly knowing i never got the chance to see them live with Tony as the frontman, but everyone should realise how great of a person he is for having to leave this awesome band for his family, which gives me more reasons to have a ton of respect for him. Although Sam you are insanely awesome, i just really hope you guys get noticed some more and get to be the huge rock group you're meant to be!

Sam Ryder's voice only makes them sound more like an 80's band, which is always a good thing. :D I will miss Tony though. :(
Justin Redington
I personally love tony But as far as the 80's metal sound that they go for, sam totally fits. I'll miss tony in this band FOR SURE. But they still shred and sound more authentic now.
