When You Sleep
Wonky Doll And The Echo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I want to fly, fly, fly
Want you to take me to
All of your sky
Why don't you kneel me down
Why don't we try, try, try
'cause when we come around
'cause i don't want to go under
It's only just begun
I want to be there when you come
I want to be there when you come
I want to be like you
I want to laugh and cry
About the things we do
Never ask why
'cause i don't want to go under
It's only just begun
I want to be there when you come
I want to be there when you come
I want to be like you
I want to fly, fly, fly
Want you to take me to
All of your sky
I want to paint the town
And drink it dry, dry, dry
And when the lights go down
I'll say goodbye
Through the rain and the thunder
I'm heading into the sun
I want to be there when you come
I want to be there when you come
(i want to be there)
I want to be there when you come
(i want to be there)
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la
The song "When You Sleep" by Wonky Doll And The Echo talks about wanting to be like someone who is admired and loved. This person is seen as someone who has the ability to take the singer to new heights, to a "sky" that they may not have seen before. The singer pleads to be included in this person's journey, to be a part of their experiences and to share in their joys and sorrows. The chorus repeats the desire to "be there when you come," emphasizing the importance of the relationship between the two people.
The lyrics also suggest a desire to escape from reality and indulge in the pleasures of life with this person. The lines "I want to paint the town/ And drink it dry, dry, dry/ And when the lights go down/ I'll say goodbye" suggest a wild and carefree attitude towards life, but again, only when shared with the person they admire. The repeated line "I don't want to go under/ It's only just begun" may suggest a fear of losing this person, or possibly an acknowledgement of the fragility of life.
Overall, the song seems to be about the desire for a deep and meaningful connection with someone who is seen as a guide or mentor in life, and the importance of being present and supportive in that relationship.
