Sleep
aL.Chemistry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Looked for my baby, she's nowhere around
Traced her footsteps down to the shore
Afraid she's gone forever more
I looked at the sea and it seemed to say
"I took your baby from you away."
I heard a voice cryin' in the deep
"Come join me, baby, in my endless sleep."
Why did we quarrel, why did we fight?
Why did I leave her alone tonight?
That's why her footsteps ran into the sea
That's why my baby has gone from me.
I looked at the sea and it seemed to say
"I took your baby from you away."
I heard a voice cryin' in the deep
"Come join me, baby, in my endless sleep."
Ran in the water, heart full of fear
There in the breakers I saw her near
Reached for my darlin', held her to me
Stole her away from the angry sea
I looked at the sea and it seemed to say
"You took your baby from me away."
My heart cried out "she's mine to keep"
I saved my baby from an endless sleep.
Endless sleep, endless sleep [Repeat to Fade]
The lyrics of the song "Sleep" by aL.Chemistry narrate a story of a man who is distraught over the disappearance of his love interest. The first verse describes how the man searches for his girl and traces her footsteps down to the shore where he fears that she has gone forever more. The sea seems to speak to him and make him realize that his girl is no longer with him, and a voice cries out from the deep, inviting him to join her in an endless sleep. The second verse delves deeper into the root of the quarrel between the two; the man questions his actions that would have driven his girl towards the sea. He understands that he is now alone, and the sea offers him an escape from his loneliness.
The final verse describes how the man jumps into the sea, driven by his fear, and sees his girl near the breakers fighting for her life. He reaches for her, saves her, and as he looks at the sea, it now seems to tell him that he had taken his baby away. The man realizes that his girl is still his to keep, and he has saved her from an endless sleep. The lyrics are symbolic in portraying the fragility of love and the inevitability of loss.
