Sleep
The Last Bison Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To the dent of the shadows I've come
For-
Beyond the shallow I've swore
I can't sleep due to the window at night
Moonlight beams into the windom my guide
-(it's so f-ing heard hearing what they're singing, couldn't they just post the goddamn lyrics somewhere, I seriosuly want to know what they're actually singing)-
Rain-
There-
By the faults of the heavens unharmed
Still I can't sleep du to the window at night
Moonlight beams into the windom my guide
Still I can't sleep du to the window at night
Moonlight beams into the windom my guide
All- things, that are known - to me
Of all-
Continue to roam these seas
So I can't sleep due to the window at night
Moonlight beams into the windom my guide
So I can't sleep due to the window at night
Moonlight beams into the windom my guide
Yaaaaeeeeehhhhh-aaah (Oh oh oh)
(Oh oh oh)
Still I can't sleep due to the window at night
(Oho oh oh)
Moonlight beams into the windom my guide
(Oh oh oh)
Still I can't sleep due to the window at night
(Oh oh oh)
Moonlight beams into the windom my guide
The lyrics of The Last Bison's song Sleep evoke a sense of restlessness and a yearning for something greater beyond the confines of the present. The song starts with the singer entering the "dent of shadows," which could be interpreted as a metaphor for a state of mind or a physical place that is shrouded in darkness and uncertainty. Beyond this shallow, the singer has "swore," possibly making a promise or a vow to explore the unknown.
However, this sense of exploration and adventure comes at a cost, as the singer cannot sleep due to the moonlight beams that enter through the window, acting as a guiding force as well as a hindrance to finding peace. The lyrics "rain to the depths of the seven unmarked" and "by the faults of the heavens unharmed" further reinforce the idea of traversing unknown territory and embracing the unknown.
The final verse speaks of things that are known to the singer that continue to "roam these seas," suggesting a sense of uncertainty and wandering that cannot be easily resolved. The repeated chorus of "Still I can't sleep due to the window at night, Moonlight beams into the window my guide" further emphasizes the singer's internal conflict and quest for meaning.
Overall, the lyrics of Sleep are poetic and evocative, delving into themes of restlessness, exploration, and the human desire to find purpose and meaning beyond the everyday.
