Losing Sleep
jylland Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For everything that′s gone
This time I don't mind
Goodbye tightrope
I guess we both know
There was more to this life
I don′t remember any single tune
You turn your back on me
So you will never see
What you carefully
Built inside of me
You turn your back on me
While I breathe easily
Watching you patiently
Searching for another me
This kind of sentiment
Yes it was Heaven Sent
We know, that is true
I left the city that
Left me no regrets
There so much I owe you
You turn your back on me
So you will never see
What you carefully
Built inside of me
You turn your back on me
While I breathe easily
Watching you patiently
Searching for another me
I will lose some sleep
But I won't lose myself on you again
I will lose some sleep
But I won't lose myself on you again
Shine on shine on
Get it shape don′t get me wrong,
Takes a Saturday Smile
The heart on the prize
You will find someone
I will lose some sleep
But I won′t lose myself on you again
I will lose some sleep
But I won't lose myself on you again
I will lose some sleep
But I won′t lose myself on you again
You turn your back on me
So you will never see
What you carefully
Built in
You turn your back on me
So you will never see
What you carefully
Built in, side of me
In these lyrics, Jylland seems to be reflecting on a past relationship and how it has affected him. The opening line, "I leave a light on for everything that's gone," suggests that he is leaving a light on to keep the memories of this lost love alive. However, he adds that he doesn't mind doing so this time around, implying that perhaps he has come to terms with the end of the relationship. He says goodbye to the "tightrope," which can refer to the precarious balancing act of trying to maintain a relationship that may not be working out. He seems to admit that there was "more to this life," suggesting that he has moved beyond the narrow focus of the relationship.
Jylland then sings about how the other person had an impact on his life, but he doesn't remember any of the tunes from the records they shared. He realizes that even though the other person turned their back on him, they don't get to see what they created in him. This could be interpreted as a sense of growth or change as a result of the relationship. He then speaks about how there was some value in this relationship, and it was "Heaven Sent," but ultimately he had to leave the city where they shared memories behind.
In the chorus, he resolves that he will "lose some sleep, but won't lose himself on you again." It seems to suggest that he learned a valuable lesson from this relationship and wants to move forward without repeating the same mistakes. He encourages himself and others to "shine on" and find someone who is right for them, suggesting that he is optimistic about the future.
