FEVER
Sunsleep Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Slow me down, cause I've been losing track
The clock keeps ticking, my head is spinning, feels like a heart attack
Breathing out the chaos from within
We've grown heavy hearted, afraid and guarded, can we begin again

Burning like a fever, someone get me out of this Help me find the peace within
Thrown into the river, reaching out for a hand Find a way out of my head
It's not the first time that I've felt the burn
Or the last time it comes on all at once
Oh I know that it's all in my head
When these voices keep telling me you're better off dead

Take me or leave me for all that it's worth
See through a lens that is clouded by dirt It's an illusion we fight in out head
We all have the key to set ourselves free again

Burning like a fever, someone get me out of this Help me find the peace within
Thrown into the river, reaching out for a hand Find a way out of my head

It's not the first time that I've felt the burn
Or the last time it comes on all at once
Oh I know that it's all in my head
When these voices keep telling you're I'm better off dead

Burning like a fever, someone get me out of this Help me find the peace within




Thrown into the river, reaching out for a hand Find a way out of my head
Feels like a heart attack

Sunsleep is sooo underrated, but SO GOOD, it's unfortunate. The band has a very unique "dreamy" sound to their music that I honestly don't hear often within rock genre.
