Sleepless
The Fallen State Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(I must go on
Without you by my side
But you're always on my mind
My light, my life)

It's too late to be there
When a life is lost
It brings you to your knees
And I need a moment
To gather my thoughts
About our loss
How Indescribable it seems
To be

As I'm walking down these halls
In the darkest days I've known
But did you even know?

I must go on
Without you by my side
But you're always on my mind
My light, my life
She's wearing that halo
I never hear my baby cry
But she's always on my mind
My light, my life

Hopeless and haunted
Well my life is passing by
With my belief
And I'm sorry for the mess I make
When I live in the moment
Go with the motion
Isn't the way it's supposed to be

As I'm walking down these halls
Of the darkest days I've known
But did you even know?

I must go on
Without you by my side
But you're always on my mind
My light, my life
I remember the day that
I look into to my fathers eyes
And he told me son don't cry
My light, My life

(And I want to know)

How can I go on?
With all we've lost
When the photographs we took were not enough
I'm telling you baby
I'll be right here by your side
Saying everything's alright
My light, my life

Why are you always on my mind?
In my solar system you're the sun
My supernova
And those heavy hearts
Refuse to run
In my solar system you're the sun
(My supernova)
You're not here by my side
But you're always on my mind
My light, my life
I'm telling you baby
I'll be right here by your side




Saying everything's alright
My light, My life

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The Fallen State's song "Nova" deal with the pain and grief of losing someone close. The singer acknowledges that they must go on without this person by their side, but they cannot help but think about them constantly. The loss is described as indescribable, and the singer struggles to come to terms with it. They are haunted and hopeless, and their life feels like it is passing them by.


Throughout the song, the singer looks to memories of their lost loved one to find comfort. They remember the way their father comforted them and are always reminded of the person they lost in every moment of their life. They liken this person to the sun in their solar system and their supernova - the light and life that gave them hope and happiness in their darkest days.


Overall, "Nova" is a powerful and emotional song about loss and grief. It captures the way that losing someone important can affect every aspect of our lives, and how memories of them can bring both pain and comfort.

1. When the darkness calls
2. As I toss and turn
3. In the bunk I lay
4. Has it sunk in yet?
5. Has it sunk in yet?
6. That I'm in for another sleepless night!
7. They're certain after all*
8. (Certain after all)*
9. Cause I've been restless for so long

10. I'm a fool who falls
11. In the land of all's *
12. That I'm meant to be
13. Has it sunk in yet? x2
14. That I'm in for another sleepless night!
15. They're certain after all*
16. (Certain after all)
17. Cause I've been restless for so long
18. (Sounds like "and I know" or "tomorrow") the sun will rise
19. And bother me no more
20. And I'm ready to lay my head
21. Show me a reckless soul how to leave*

22. Rest the soul, watch the sunset
23. Are you ready to lay my head?

Instrumental

24. Rest the soul, watch the sunset x2
25. Are you ready to lay my head? x2

26. Another sleepless night!
27. They're certain after all*
28. (Certain after all)
29. Cause I've been restless for so long
30. (Sounds like "And I know" or tomorrow) the sun will rise
31. And bother me no more
32. Are you ready to lay my head
33. Show me a reckless soul how to leave*

This is my take after listening to each individual part repeatedly, a lot of it lines up in my head
