Despite its musical diversity, "Under The Same Sky" appears homogenous at all times thanks to the perfectly staged voice of Mick Moss, who on this album almost certainly delivers his most colourful vocal performance to date. On the textual level, Moss once more deals with the abysses of the human soul and grounds his lyrics on an elaborate concept about sociopathic manipulation.

Sleeping Pulse Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the mask falls off for everyone to see
Backfire, and the coup is done
Pull the needle out, it's time to run from me
But don't let the truth get high
There's a new stage and a world of lies to breathe
It's all jaded
When the whole world is a mark
Play it fierce, it's not real
Backfire, and the cover's blown
What was once arcane lies now exposed
Backfire, and the bird has flown
As the crude disguise is overthrown by greed
But don't let the truth get high
There's a new stage and a world of lies to breathe
It's all wasted
All those years kissing head
It's all gone, back to start
Don't let the truth get too high
Build a brand new reality
Don't let true colours stain those eyes
No, just pretend that it's not real
It's not real …. It's not real …. It's not real …. It's not real
In the song Backfire by Sleeping Pulse, the lyrics describe the aftermath of a failed plan or coup. The lines "Backfire, with a smoking gun and the mask falls off for everyone to see" suggest that the plan has been uncovered and the perpetrator's true identity is revealed. The second line of the same verse, "And the coup is done, pull the needle out, it's time to run from me", seems to imply that the person responsible for the action is trying to escape the consequences.
The song then delves into the idea of living in a world of lies and deception, with the lines "There's a new stage and a world of lies to breathe, it's all jaded when the whole world is a mark." The singer or narrator seems disillusioned by the state of the world, where dishonesty and corruption are rampant. The chorus of "It's not real" is repeated multiple times, suggesting that the singer is trying to convince themselves that they are not affected by the deceit around them.
The song closes with the lines "Don't let the truth get too high, build a brand new reality, don't let true colours stain those eyes, no just pretend that it's not real." These lines seem to imply that the singer is advocating for creating a new reality, one that is not plagued by the dishonesty they have experienced. The closing line, "just pretend that it's not real," is a poignant reminder that sometimes it may be easier to just ignore the truth than to face it head-on.
