I Dont Sleep
Twice The Sun Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Moonlight it sems,
Brings me memories but no sleep.
It doesn't mean i don't dream,
I am conciouse when i see.

We melt the miles between our affection,
Comming closer to my decision,
Of Whether i should forget but i can't forget.
Translucent i hold you,
Translucent i kiss,
Sincerily i miss,
Every still frame of you.





I don't sleep at night like i should.
I can't do that.

Overall Meaning

"Moonlight it seems, brings me memories but no sleep" is a reflection of the singer's inability to find rest even in the darkness of the night. The use of the word "moonlight" suggests a sense of nostalgia and reminiscence, evoking the feeling of looking back at memories. However, despite this yearning for the past, the singer is unable to find sleep, which may suggest an underlying sense of restlessness or anxiety about the present or the future.


The lyrics continue with "We melt the miles between our affection, coming closer to my decision, of whether I should forget but I can't forget." Here, the singer reflects on a past relationship that has left a significant impact on them, to the point where they can't seem to shake it off. The distance between the singer and their lover has been bridged, and they find themselves grappling with whether they should move on or continue holding on to the memories. The word "translucent" is used to describe the singer's interactions with their lover, suggesting a sense of fragility or transience in their connection, which may be why they can't seem to forget it.


The chorus "I don't sleep at night like I should. I can't do that" is a repetition of the central idea of the song – the singer's inability to find rest. The fact that they "can't do that" may suggest a sense of helplessness or resignation, indicating that they may have accepted their current state of mind as something beyond their control.

Thanks for putting this up. James Partridge was great in TTS.

Anyway anyone can link me to the original recordings? I had 5 songs of theirs pre-Road Runner Records and I seem to have lost them, which is really frustrating since they were my favorite local band back on 2001.
