Zoume takes the diversity of their ever-growing borough and makes it shine in everything they do. Rising up as the underdogs of their music scene, the band immediately began to gain traction in their region and across the country through social media with the release of their debut EP. Following in the footsteps of their influences, the band is constantly working towards their dream and isn't taking no for an answer.
The boys set 2016 in motion with their single “Sleep” - now at nearly 30,000 views, the song quickly became the bands anthem for the year! Showing there's no time to lose, the band released their “Prophecy” EP that same summer. Exploring many different music styles, it's clear that Zoume is all about diversity. From the dark and energetic “Lost Boy” to the beautiful closing track “Heaven”, the band put their thousands of listeners through a roller coaster of sounds and emotions.
Zoume cut no corners in putting themselves in every venue they could, while releasing all the music they could. Playing show after show, they quickly became loved in surrounding cities and states. Opening for all time favorites of their own such as Escape the Fate and The Word Alive, alongside modern day fan favorites like Ice Nine Kills and The Plot In You, Zoume is making sure to earn their own spot in the hearts of fans everywhere!
Consisting of four dedicated members, Zoume is stopping at nothing to make their dreams a reality. To kick off 2017, they headlined a SOLD OUT Gramercy Theater – the very venue they opened up a few months before! There's no taking “no” for an answer when you're the Brooklyn underdogs! The band has even been featured on Alternative Press a few times, and is only looking to take over more press outlets, venues, and cities in 2017. Looking to hit the road soon, they're sure to spread like like a disease once they do - so keep up your daily dose of Zoume until then!
Sleep
Zoume Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is this what I search for? Or is this what I need?
Contemplating, understanding who I'm supposed to be
I'm the one that fought for this,
Can't miss my oppurtunity
Don't let me sleep, don't let me dream
I'm the one who's always unsure
i can't make it on my own
I've come to far to let it all go
No more to say to this, and I can finally live
Won't take my blessings for granted
I'm trying, I'm striving
Just set me free
Don't let me sleep, don't let me dream
I'm the one who's always unsure
Don't let me sleep, don't let me dream
i can't make it on my own
Don't let me sleep, don't let me dream
I'm tryna find my way back around
Is this my blessing?
Cus it feels like my dream is a world away
Feels like my dream
Is a world away
Don't let me sleep, don't let me dream
I'm the one who's always unsure
Don't let me sleep, don't let me dream
i can't make it on my own
Don't let me sleep don't let me dream
I'm tryna find my way back around
Is this my blessing?
Cus it feels like my dream is a world away
In "Sleep," Zoume sings about feeling torn between his desires and his needs, his blessings and his curses, his dreams and his reality. He questions whether he is supposed to be where he is or whether he needs to make a change. Despite his uncertainties, he acknowledges that he has come too far to give up now and is determined not to take his blessings for granted. He asks not to be allowed to sleep or dream because he is always unsure and feels like he can't make it on his own. He wants to find his way back around, but it feels like his dream is a world away.
The song captures the struggle of navigating life's complexities and trying to find one's place in the world. It highlights the importance of perseverance, gratitude, and self-awareness in achieving one's goals and finding fulfillment. The lyrics emphasize the inner turmoil that often accompanies personal growth and the need for support and guidance to stay on track.
