Viënna
X-Terra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sinking into my bed
But I'm restless 'cause you're in my head
Thinking what can't be said
My mind's the Commons but the speaker has fled
I need a way out
Is there a pill
That can break my will to focus on you
I need a way out
Won't you let me sleep
'Cause my mind's awake and thinking 'bout sleeping with you
Won't you let me sleep
Falling into my vocation
Of re-running every single statement
Now I'm soaring through the good vibrations
But this train of thought only ends at cloud station
I need a way out
Give me a pill that'll break my will to focus on you
I need a way out
Won't you let me sleep
'Cause my mind's awake and thinking 'bout sleeping with you
Won't you let me sleep
Won't you let me sleep
'Cause my mind's awake and thinking 'bout sleeping with you
Won't you let me sleep
And now I'm thinking 'bout Vienna
2010 December
It's sowed into my brain
And now I'm thinking 'bout Vienna
Cold and dark December
But I kinda like the rain
And now I'm thinking 'bout Vienna
2010 December
It's sowed into my brain
And now I'm thinking 'bout Vienna
Cold and dark December
But I kinda like the rain
Won't you let me sleep
'Cause my mind's awake and thinking 'bout sleeping with you
Won't you let me sleep
(Oowoah)
(Oowoah)
(Oowoah)
Won't you let me sleep
'Cause my mind's awake and thinking 'bout sleeping with you
Won't you let me sleep
(Oowoah)
(Oowoah)
(Oowoah)
And now I'm thinking 'bout Vienna
2010 December
It's sowed into my brain
And now I'm thinking 'bout Vienna
Cold and dark December
I kinda like the rain
Won't you let me sleep baby
Won't you let me sleep baby
And now I'm
And now I'm
And now I'm
And now I'm thinking 'bout Vienna
2010 December
It's sowed into my brain
And now I'm thinking 'bout Vienna
Cold and dark December
I kinda like the rain
(Won't you let me sleep baby)
(Won't you let me sleep baby)




(Won't you let me sleep baby)
(Won't you let me sleep baby)

Overall Meaning

The song "Vienna" by X-Terra is about the singer's inability to stop thinking about a romantic interest, despite trying to distract themselves. The first verse describes the frustration of lying in bed, unable to sleep because thoughts of the person in question are keeping the singer awake. The line "my mind's the Commons but the singer has fled" could be interpreted as a metaphor for the idea that the singer's thoughts are a shared public space, but the voice that usually speaks them (the singer themself) is missing or absent. The second verse tells us that the singer has tried to focus on their work or "vocation" to distract themselves, but that this only leads them on a train of thought that ends in "cloud station" - a place of confusion and indecision.
