5.Sleepless were originally known under the German name Die Schlaflosen. Formed in 1982 when guitarist Arch Stanton met up with Singers Cloudia Wintermute & Lucretia, and bassist Roland Hammerl. They immediatly found they had an amazing chemistry together and improvasation was the key to their sound. Never really having a permanent drummer they usually used drum machine for rehearsing and recording and would have a guest drummer at shows. Later joined by Saxopone player, Summer, they began playing the L.A. Gothic Scene and were regulars at Club Lhasa and The Anti-Club. In 1984 they opened for the Cramps at Perkins Palace.
An EP came out in 1985 which marked the change of name from Die Schlaflosen to Sleepless. "No one could pronounce the german version of the name" was the complaint of some, so they finally changed it when the EP came out. Lucretia left the band while the recording was in progress.

Sands of Time
Sleepless Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The sea, the waves - a song with a rhyme
A desert wind
Time - shattering the images above and healing wounds
A desert wind, a frying sun
A holy war handled by an angry gun
The night, the moon, the sky, the stars above us
Inspiring an artist
Did you ever think, did you ever know, did you ever feel
That I was last to go?
Waiting at the gallows pole
There's a time when our dreams should be fulfilled
The screen of rays full of mist
A little child grown by the loving priest
There's a time when our dreams should be fulfilled
The day we come back from the landmine field
Distorted figure covered in black
Another soul is hidden away from you
Well what's the point?
The sand, the grains - a symbol of time
Well what's the point
If your ego is based on your success?
So the story goes on like a game of chess
In Sleepless's song Sands of Time, the lyrics delve into the symbolism of time through the imagery of sand and the ocean. The sand, the grains, are a symbol of time, representing how time slips away from us like grains of sand. The sea, the waves, represent the passing of time in a rhythmic pattern, like a song. The setting is a vast desert with a scorching sun and winds that create a sense of isolation, where time seems to stand still.
Throughout the song, the lyrics explore the different phases of time, from the shattering of old images to the healing of past wounds. The idea of a holy war handled by an angry gun represents how violence can shatter lives and cause lasting damage, leaving scars that time cannot heal. However, the night, the moon, the sky, and the stars above us represent hope and new beginnings, while the day symbolizes the burning away of mysterious thoughts that hold us back. The lyrics suggest that the passage of time can inspire artists and creatives to create something new and beautiful.
The lyrics then shift towards a personal narrative, questioning if the singer was the last to go, waiting at the gallows pole. The imagery of a screen full of rays full of mist speaks to the idea of a distorted reality, where things may not be as they seem. The idea of a child grown by a loving priest suggests that the singer may be grappling with issues of identity and upbringing. However, there is a glimmer of hope, with the idea that there is a time when our dreams should be fulfilled.
