Till Yesterday
Sicboy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Follow me into a time I'll set you free
I will wait with open arms... can't be afraid
Come with me, I'll show the way till yesterday
Today
Always
Of what? I don't know
I awake thoughts of you... begin to shake
Eyes are worn. These sleepless eyes can't stay awake
Wait for me. Don't go too far that I can't see
Today
Always
Afraid
Of what? I don't know
Signify, realized, no more pain, I want to say goodbye
One more time just to feel it still
One last time just to be for real
I feel it still
Be for real
One last time I see this place in mind, hand in mine
Can it be? Broken arm, broken face, seventeen.
One last time I see this twisted mind, hand in mine
Can it be? Broken arm, broken face, seventeen
Feel it still
Be for real
Feel it still
Be for real

These sleepless eyes can't stay awake" reveal that he is possibly haunted by someone or something that he cannot shake off. The lines "Signify, realized, no more pain, I want to say goodbye" represent a turning point in the song where he decides to face his fears and let go of the past, and his wish to do so is clear in the repeated lines "One last time just to feel it still, be for real, feel it still, be for real."
