Sleep
The Last Hard Men Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I love you, I love you, I love you now
I love you, I love you, I love you now
I may not say a word, I might destroy a bird
He might sleep on the street right now
They may run over me, I might force them to see
That I'm trying to sleep right now
Crucify, crucify, crucify now
I don't know, I don't want, I love you now
I may give you the son, I might produce the son
He might sleep on the street right now
Of course, you hate him for that
And you love him for this
And I'm trying to sleep right now

I love you, I love you, I love you now
I love you, I love you, I love you now




I love you, I love you, I love you now
I love you, I love you, I love you now

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Sleep" by The Last Hard Men seem to be a mix of disconnected images and emotions that at times appear to be feverish in nature. The beginning of the song is a repetition of "I love you, I love you, I love you now," which can be interpreted as a statement made from a place of desperation or urgency. The singer may feel like they need to express their love to someone immediately, as if time is running out.


The second line presents an interesting contrast as it talks about the potential destruction of a bird. It is unclear whether this destruction is intentional or accidental, but it could symbolize a potential loss of innocence or beauty that the singer is concerned about. The reference to the bird sleeping on the street also suggests a sense of vulnerability and danger.


The third line introduces the idea of the singer trying to sleep, which adds to the sense of urgency and desperation. The following lines mention the possibility of being run over, which suggests a feeling of helplessness or danger. The repetition of "crucify" could be interpreted as a reference to the crucifixion of Jesus, which adds a religious aspect to the song.


The language in the fourth and fifth lines are somewhat cryptic, but it could be interpreted as the singer hoping to create a child who may end up homeless or vulnerable. The final lines repeat the phrase "I love you now" which reinforces the intense emotion that seems to be driving the song.
