A Sleep From Day
The Chemical Brothers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Always misunderstood
Gotta tell you something
I saw it in your eyes
I think I left your back seat
And now It's always good
I fell asleep from day
And all the promises
There's a lot of people
That let their will to say
I've got a lot of friends
And they've got beautiful eyes
That make my heart feel surprised
And you notice it
And that's the truth
That's the truth
Have me to you
I shine along underneath your view
I'll be the one
To let you know when you've come undone
I like the stars in the sky
And watch the moonlight go by
I've got a lot of friends
And they've got beautiful eyes,
That make my heart feel surprised.
And that's the truth,
That's the truth
That's the truth
That's the truth
The Chemical Brothers's song Asleep From Day is a dreamy, atmospheric track with cryptic and ambiguous lyrics that can mean different things to different people. On the surface, the singer seems to be addressing someone who is misunderstood and telling them that they have seen something in their eyes that they want to share. The reference to "your mama" could suggest a parental figure who may have imparted some wisdom or advice to the addressee.
However, the lyrics quickly become more abstract and surreal when the singer claims to have left the addressee's back seat and fallen asleep from day. It's not clear what this means, but it could be interpreted as a metaphor for escaping mundane reality or indulging in a pleasant daydream. The reference to "all the promises" could imply that there were expectations or obligations in the relationship that have been left behind. The chorus is a repetitive mantra that emphasizes the singer's affection for their friends' beautiful eyes, which make their heart feel surprised. The final lines could suggest that the singer feels like a supportive presence in the addressee's life, ready to shine along and help them when they feel undone.
Overall, the lyrics of Asleep From Day are impressionistic, suggestive, and poetic. They evoke a certain mood and atmosphere rather than a specific narrative or message. The dreamlike quality of the music enhances the sense of disorientation and introspection that the lyrics convey.
