Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

He came back again to disturb me
When i was try to sleep his name is sleepless night,
Just and ill-natured knight he is always watching me
When I am struggling with some troubles he pokes me with his lance
Cuz thats his hobby.oh...

I'll give you something sweet so please let me sleep
I cant stand your nasty hobby till morning comes
So please let me sleep tonight

He came back again to disturb me
When I was try to sleep his name is sleepless night,
Just and ill-natured knight
I wish he breaks all the troubles
In my heart with his lance but he only smile...





I want to sleep how I can sleep well tonigt?

The song captures the frustration and desperation that come with chronic sleeplessness. The personification of Sleepless Night as a villainous character adds to the sense of helplessness and hopelessness the singer feels.
