Sleep On It
Zealyn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wake to feel it all
Like a drum inside my chest
Pulled the cable from the wall, but the buzzing never rests
Now I gotta go

And you're unimpressed
My choices never small
And you know I never rest
But you always see me fall

I can't stop it
Cause now we're losing light
I can't stop it
Let's sleep on it another night

Hours passing; losing light
If you're wondering; Let's sleep on it another night

What'd you come here for
Dodging me like a swinging door
I know what you're waiting for
But your patience wore out fast
I gotta go

And I'm unimpressed
My choices never small




And you know I never rest
And you can't catch my fall

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Zealyn's song "Sleep on It" describe a feeling of restlessness and anxiety, represented by the drumming sensation inside the singer's chest. Despite pulling the cable from the wall to get rid of the buzzing, the feeling never goes away. The singer acknowledges that their choices in life are significant, but they feel like they're always falling short in the eyes of others. The chorus suggests a desire to pause and reflect: "I can't stop it, let's sleep on it another night."


As the song progresses, the urgency and frustration in the lyrics escalate. The singer's impatience with the person they're addressing comes through in lines like "Dodging me like a swinging door" and "your patience wore out fast." The repeated line "I gotta go" implies a sense of urgency or responsibility that the singer needs to attend to, but at the same time they recognize that their choices are never small and that they never rest. The final lines of the chorus repeat the earlier sentiment - "If you're wondering, let's sleep on it another night" - suggesting that a resolution to the feelings of anxiety and uncertainty may not be forthcoming anytime soon.
