| Fiona Apple – Sleep to Dream Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I can totally relate to this song,and the same's true for most of Fiona's songs. I've been in abusive relationships and have personal issues like her. To me, this song is about an ex, and Fiona has been dissed by him in some way or another. Maybe he gave her false hope that they may get back together, and then he rejects her soonafter (I've never been so insulted in my whole life, I could swallow the seas to wash down all this pride) So she's basically saying "Fuck you too".... I'm not 'crazy' like you might think, "I've got my feet on the ground and I don't go to sleep to dream" - says I'm down-to-earth, I'm not going to sleep to have "sweet dreams" or fantasies about you, like he might think. I'm just going to sleep, in the literal sense. |

I finally figured it out. Fiona is basically saying she's a girl with many issues, emotional baggage, etc. She needs a man who can cope with that. Someone mature, who can listen and understand and be a shoulder to lean on when she's feeling "crazy" because of emotional issues, like mentioned before. I know this because I'm one of these girls. They need someone with enough life experience to understand emotional trauma and personal issues and be able to love someone despite those things: "And I went crazy again today, lookin' for a strand to climb Lookin' for a little hope Baby said he couldn't stay, wouldn't put his lips to mine And a fail to kiss is a fail to cope I said honey, I don't feel so good, don't feel justified Come on, put a little love here in my void He said it's all in your head and I said so's everything but he didn't get it I thought he was a man but he was just a little boy." Now....she maybe has been waiting and waiting and had failed relationships(s) and must have initially thought this guy was going to FINALLY be her soulmate, but turns out, he's not up to the 'challenge'(she knows this from previous relationships): "Hunger hurts but I want him so bad, oh, it kills Because I know that I'm a mess that he don't wanna clean up I got to fold because these hands are just too shaky to hold Hunger hurts but starvin', it works when it costs Too much to love " |
