The project began in the summer of 1999, and is still active today, having produced over 40 tracks, including some "top ten" breaks on the mp3.com industrial charts back in the early 2000s. Sleeping Prophet currently remains unsigned to any label.
Completed albums include "The Birth EP" (1999), "The Alpha Sessions" (2000), "The Broken Mirror Anthology" (parts 1 and 2, 2001), "Introspection's Child" (2003), and "Connectivity" (2006), most of which can be freely obtained from the official website.
The name "Sleeping Prophet" was chosen with no relation to the book regarding Edgar Cayce, and is meant to represent the reflective origins of the music from reactions to personal experiences, yet with some manner of irreparable imperfection inherent to its form.

Shattered
Sleeping Prophet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I see the light behind your eyes,
Recalling just how bad its been
Living with all of these lies
Cuz, in my brain, in my head
The truth burns me it wants me dead
I could of had it all but i wanted more
No light no air no chance to escape
Condemned to this dark murky fate
No chance now its all my fault
Can't get this crazed machine to halt
Sleepless nights and memories
I'm left alone and naked to starve and freeze
Anyway none of it really matters
When i woke up the dream was shattered
Too many nightmares
Not enough sleep
And i'm all through counting sheep
There's no one to save me now
I'd make this stop by i just don't know how
Nothing's ever quite what it seems
Just lay down and wait for the broken dreams
Sit up praying to a knife
That i may end this unreal life
But i've no courage, just can't do it
Seems so simple, nothing to it
Clinging to the edge of sanity
I am my own worst enemy
Hope is just a memory
Fading deep inside of me
People try to save
What they don't understand
They should just get out
While they still can
So i lie awake at night
All the time i have to fight
Killing hours in the dark
Alone with a dream, but it was
Shattered
There's no one to save me now
I'd make this stop by i just don't know how
Nothing's ever quite what it seems
Just lay down and wait for the broken dreams
The lyrics to Sleeping Prophet's song Shattered paint a picture of someone who has fallen from grace and is now living a life filled with lies. They are haunted by their own thoughts and feelings of regret, wishing they had made different choices. The truth burns inside of them and they feel trapped behind a door with no chance of escape. They are left alone to starve and freeze with fading memories of hope. The song explores the struggle of trying to hold onto sanity in the midst of despair.
The lyrics use vivid imagery to express the singer’s despair. They feel like they are living in a dark and murky fate, with no light or air to breathe. The line "sit up praying to a knife" suggests the singer has thoughts of self-harm, while "all the time I have to fight" expresses the ongoing struggle to hold on to their sanity. They are consumed by their own thoughts and feelings of regret, and there seems to be no way out.
Overall, Shattered is a powerful and emotional song that highlights the importance of seeking help when faced with mental health struggles. The lyrics offer a glimpse into the dark and harrowing experience of living with depression and anxiety.
Line by Line Meaning
Falling down from grace again,
Regressing from a previous good state of being
I see the light behind your eyes,
I can see through your facade
Recalling just how bad its been
Remembering how awful things have been
Living with all of these lies
Being burdened with deceit
Cuz, in my brain, in my head
Because, in my thoughts
The truth burns me it wants me dead
The truth is painful and it seems preferable to die
I could of had it all but i wanted more
I had much, but I was never content
Now i'm just trapped behind this door
Now I am a prisoner behind inescapable confinement
No light no air no chance to escape
There is no brightness, no breaths, no hope of freedom
Condemned to this dark murky fate
Sentenced to a hopeless, miserable outcome
No chance now its all my fault
There is no opportunity, and I am to blame
Can't get this crazed machine to halt
I cannot end this insane cycle
Sleepless nights and memories
Nights without rest, and memories that persist
I'm left alone and naked to starve and freeze
I am abandoned, exposed, and vulnerable
Anyway none of it really matters
Regardless, none of it is significant
When i woke up the dream was shattered
I awoke to a nightmare
Too many nightmares
There are too many terrible dreams
Not enough sleep
There is not enough rest
And i'm all through counting sheep
I have attempted every solution to my inability to sleep
There's no one to save me now
No one can rescue me from this harrowing situation
I'd make this stop by i just don't know how
I would cease this, but I do not know how to end it
Nothing's ever quite what it seems
Nothing is ever as it appears
Just lay down and wait for the broken dreams
Just lie down and wait for the nightmares
Sit up praying to a knife
Sitting up, begging for a swift end
That i may end this unreal life
So that I may terminate this false existence
But i've no courage, just can't do it
Despite my yearning, I am too scared to take drastic action
Seems so simple, nothing to it
It would seem uncomplicated to do it, but it is not
Clinging to the edge of sanity
Holding onto what grip there is to rationality
I am my own worst enemy
I myself am my biggest obstacle
Hope is just a memory
Hope has permanently departed
Fading deep inside of me
Slowly disappearing from within me
People try to save
Individuals attempt to rescue
What they don't understand
What they cannot comprehend
They should just get out
They should just leave
While they still can
While escape is still attainable
So i lie awake at night
Thus, I lie sleepless at night
All the time i have to fight
Constantly battling the circumstances
Killing hours in the dark
Passing time brutally in the shadows
Alone with a dream, but it was Shattered
Isolated with a good vision that was cruelly destroyed

Thank you for the style of the internal ads. The segue and presentation was seamless. I usually REALLY hate ads, but I do not resent the Kind for Men ad., as you present them. The Youtube ads are omni present for me because: well. I am cheap. And the content is so interesting that I sometimes
