Bravery
Sleep for Sleepers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey brothers, have you been told?
Some can act like filthy monsters.
When we’re left out on our own.
We walk on their ceilings and call out their names.
Pretend you’re in love to become like the rest of us.
Eager eyes tend to get what they want.
When they learn to crawl on their hands and knees.
They’re taught how to feast on the flesh that’s beneath.
We build on lust, far from bravery.
Where’s our faith this time? This time!
Hey sisters, have you been shown?
That you’re much more than bodies, used to dance on their floors.
They call out for you all night and all day.
The gentlemen beg! And they beg! And they beg! And they beg!
Eager eyes tend to get what they want.
When they learn to crawl on their hands and knees.
They’re taught how to feast on the flesh that’s beneath.
We build on lust, far from bravery.
Where’s our faith this time? This time!
Eager eyes tend to get what they want.
When they learn to crawl on their hands and knees.
They’re taught how to feast on the flesh that’s beneath.




We build on lust, far from bravery.
Where’s our faith this time? This time!

Overall Meaning

"Bravery" by Sleep for Sleepers is a song that addresses the struggle of individuals to maintain their integrity and moral values in the face of various forms of societal pressures. The lyrics capture the message that the world is filled with monsters who prey on the weak and vulnerable, and we are often tempted to conform to their standards just to fit in or survive. The opening lines of the chorus, "Eager eyes tend to get what they want when they learn to crawl on their hands and knees," suggest that those who are willing to compromise their ideals and beliefs are more likely to find success than those who choose to stay true to themselves.


The song then turns its attention to women specifically, urging them not to define themselves by their physical appearances and not to succumb to the desires of predatory men. The lines "Hey sisters, have you been shown that you're much more than bodies, used to dance on their floors" highlights the message that women should be valued for their worth beyond their physical appearance.


Overall, "Bravery" encourages listeners to stand firm in their beliefs and resist the pressure to conform to societal norms that go against their personal values. The song is a call to embrace courage and bravery in the face of adversities and not be swayed by the temptations of the world.
