Deep Sleep
Therapy? Lyrics

Time-toffee molten on the mantle
The passage of time is very noticeable as time draws on, like how a toffee that has melted and solidified becomes harder to break. The phrase 'time-toffee' represents how time drags on and feels slower than usual for the singer.

Freeze frame sound hangs in the air
The moment is frozen in time, as if in a photograph, and the sound from that moment stays suspended in the air. It emphasizes how the singer feels trapped in their own head.

My thoughts ebbing in slow motion
The singer's thoughts are slowly disappearing or diminishing, like the receding of tides. This highlights the depressive and lethargic state of the singer.

In limbo more than anywhere
The artist feels stuck in a state of uncertainty, as if in a purgatory. They feel disconnected from the world around them and do not know what direction to take in life.

Just a sleepy head
The artist feels drowsy and apathetic. 'Sleepy head' is used metaphorically to represent the melancholic state of mind the artist is in.

Breast-fed on the thought of leaving
The singer's desire to escape from their current state of mind has been with them for so long, it's as if they've been nurturing it like a baby since birth with the thought of leaving always in the background.

Dead-head drowning in a dream
The singer is so numb and disinterested in life that they feel as though they are drowning in the same dream or thought. The phrase 'dead-head' implies that there is no life or passion in their spirit.

Switched off swimming to surrender
The artist has decided to stop struggling and let themselves be carried away by the flow. The phrase 'switched off' highlights their emotional detachment, and the word 'surrender' suggests that they've given up hope of change.

I'm home, comatose and lost
The artist refers to their state of mind as 'home' suggesting that they have become so used to feeling this way that it's become a familiar place. They describe themselves as 'comatose' meaning that they are devoid of life or consciousness, and 'lost' meaning that they have no sense of direction or purpose.

Dying in your bed
This line suggests that the artist is overwhelmed with thoughts of mortality and is fearful of dying alone. It emphasizes their sense of hopelessness and detachment from the world around them.

Time toffee melted on the mantle
This line is a repeated version of the first line, emphasizing the feeling of time dragging on and the singer being stuck in their current state of mind.

Freeze frame sound falls from the air
This line is a repeated version of the second line, emphasizing how trapped and detached the artist feels from reality and how time seems to stand still.

My thoughts drift in slow motion
This line is a repeated version of the third line, emphasizing how the singer's thoughts are slow and lethargic rather than active and engaged.

In limbo now and I don't care
This line is a repeated version of the fourth line, reinforcing the singer's sense of apathy and disconnection from the world around them.

Just a sleepy head
This line is a repeated version of the fifth line, emphasizing the lethargic and melancholic state of mind the singer is in.
