Haunted Sleep
Sarasvatī Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who lives beneath my bed
I squeeze my eyes up tight and feel so scared
Sure he was waiting to be fed
I shiver underneath my tears
With fuzzy earmuffs on my head
What should I do to escape from here
I hope somebody opens the windows wide
As he start to scratch the wood of the bed
I begin to be disturb by the sound
The wind collects making my goosebumps rise
Suddenly the earth begins to quake
As something around me start to shake
All I can do just shut my eyes
I cant get to sleep, I toss and turn and flop
I try to count a sheep while they hop
I try to think of place that's really cool
Damn my sleep isn't fit on fool
He taps me on the shoulder
I just don't know what to do
He looks at me and says,
"Can I get in with you?"
All of my fear were proven to be wrong
He was nothing more than ghost that was cute
Much like me he was alone and feel scared
He was a pitiful and pathetic thing
Now were just hiding under our quilts
Hoping for the night to hurry away
Night that was scary has turn to be fun
No longer alone with my new ghostly friend
In Sarasvati's song Haunted Sleep, the lyrics describe a child's fear of a "terrible grey monster" living under the bed. The child tries to escape by squeezing their eyes shut, wearing fuzzy earmuffs, and hoping someone will open the windows wide. However, the monster begins to scratch the wood of the bed, and the wind picks up, making the child's goosebumps rise. Eventually, the earth begins to shake, and something around the child seems to move. The child struggles to fall asleep, tossing and turning, and even trying to count sheep. However, the monster taps the child on the shoulder and asks to join them in bed. The two end up hiding under the covers together, and what was once a scary night has turned into a fun one.
The lyrics of Haunted Sleep tap into childhood fears and the imagination of children. The monster under the bed is a common fear that many children can relate to, and the song captures the feeling of being scared in one's own bed. However, the song also shows that what one might fear could turn out to be something harmless or even fun, as in the case of the child and the monster becoming unlikely friends. Overall, Haunted Sleep is a relatable song that touches on the fears and imagination of childhood.
