Transit Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All the nights we used to spend tangled up?
I won't sing those songs again
No I won't sing those songs again
Your eyes were glued to the floor
And my eyes were locked on the door
And you were just fighting to stay awake
I'm always telling myself one thing
And then doing another
It always gets the best of me
But I don't know any other way to live
Any other way to live
I tried so hard to forget
Selective words you chose to send
In my direction
I won't sing those songs again
No we can't sing those songs again
Was it your direct intention?
Those little stabs kept my attention
I won't forget a word you said
I can't forget a word you said
I'm always telling myself one thing
And then I'm doing another
It always gets the best of me
But I don't know any other way to live
Any other way to live
You're always giving me those same dirty looks
And cliché analogies
Don't speak another word
No need for an apology
No way to live
This is no way to live
It's a modern tragedy
You're your own worst enemy
You should look before you leap
You should think before you speak
Look at us we're stumbling
To overanalyze everything
We should both go back to sleep
We should both go back to sleep
I'm always telling myself one thing
And then I'm doing another
It always gets the best of me
But I don't know any other way to live
Any other way to live
You're always giving me those same dirty looks
And cliché analogies
Don't speak another word
No need for an apology
No way to live
This is no way to live
This is no way to live
The lyrics to Transit's song "Sleep" depict a tumultuous relationship between two people who seem to be struggling to forget their past. The first verse acknowledges the difficulty in moving on from memories of nights spent together, but despite this, the singer refuses to go back to the way things were. The second verse highlights the tension between the two as they struggle to stay awake and maintain eye contact. The chorus emphasizes the singer's inner battle of telling themselves to do one thing, but ultimately doing another. The third verse addresses hurtful words said by the other person, indicating a possible manipulation or toxicity in the relationship. The final verse conveys a sense of hopelessness as both parties are unable to communicate effectively, leading to the suggestion that they both just go back to sleep and forget about their problems.
Overall, the song presents a bittersweet tone, juxtaposing themes of love and loss with self-doubt and regret. The lyrics evoke a sense of nostalgia for the past, while recognizing the importance of moving forward and letting go of damaging patterns. The repetition of the phrase "any other way to live" emphasizes the idea that change is difficult, but necessary for personal growth.
Line by Line Meaning
Is it so hard to forget
Is it difficult to erase from memory
All the nights we used to spend tangled up?
All the intimate nights we used to spend together
I won't sing those songs again
I won't revisit the past memories
Your eyes were glued to the floor
You were avoiding my gaze
And my eyes were locked on the door
I wanted to leave or escape from the situation
And you were just fighting to stay awake
You were struggling to stay conscious or interested
I'm always telling myself one thing
I constantly give myself advice
And then doing another
But I end up acting differently
It always gets the best of me
It always results in negative outcomes for me
But I don't know any other way to live
But I don't know how to change my behavior
I tried so hard to forget
I attempted to remove you from my thoughts
Selective words you chose to send
You carefully chose your words
In my direction
In my general vicinity or focus
Was it your direct intention?
Did you mean to hurt me on purpose?
Those little stabs kept my attention
Those small insults or jabs kept me focused
I won't forget a word you said
I won't let your words go unnoticed
I can't forget a word you said
I can't shake off the impact of your words
You're always giving me those same dirty looks
You continually give me unpleasant or judgmental expressions
And cliché analogies
And overused, unoriginal comparisons
Don't speak another word
Don't talk anymore
No need for an apology
No reason to say sorry
It's a modern tragedy
Our situation is a sad, contemporary story
You're your own worst enemy
You harm yourself more than anyone else
You should look before you leap
You should consider the consequences before acting
You should think before you speak
You should consider your words before saying them
Look at us we're stumbling
We are both struggling to make good choices
To overanalyze everything
To scrutinize everything too deeply
We should both go back to sleep
We should both rest and forget about our problems
This is no way to live
Our current situation is not sustainable
