I meant more that it's tempting to close your eyes and that that's the easier thing to do, not than that it's ok. So yeah, I disagree with my previous statement too. |

I think doughbro is right that sleep is a metaphor for just tuning out the problems of the world. The song is saying that it's tempting to give in and close your eyes so you don't have to feel the pain of the world around you, but even though that might be the easier thing to do it's not necessarily right. when it says "people say you'll die faster than without water But we know it's just a lie. Scare your son, scare your daughter" it means that we are encouraged by society not to question our world and that there are so many problems in it that if you opened your eyes to face them you would metaphorically die. When it talks about how people hide the light, the night, lovers, etc. underneath the covers it means that people depend on a false sense of security and comfort blinding them from reality so they can feel safe and happy. The point of the song is pretty much that it's fine if you want to just tune everything out. You'll probably be happier that way "Now here's the sun, it's alright. Now here's the moon, it's alright" But you just have to realize that that's not how things really are and there's a bigger picture that might not be as pleasant. "every time you close your eyes (Lies)" |
