In the haunting echoes of solitude, Band of Horses crafts a spectral tale that dances between reality and the ethereal. The repetitive mantra "I could sleep" hints at a longing for peace and rest, perhaps elusive in the presence of an unseen entity. When the singer lived alone, tranquility was tainted by an eerie presence, questioning if there's a ghost lurking within their sanctuary. This ghost may symbolize lingering memories or unresolved emotions that haunt the mind, making true rest impossible. The house becomes a metaphorical space where past and present collide, leaving one to ponder if they are truly alone or accompanied by shadows of their own creation.
