Enter Sandman Lyrics

Say your prayers, little one
Don't forget, my son
To include everyone
Tuck you in, warm within
Keep you free from sin
'Til the sandman, he comes

Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight

Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land

Somethings wrong, shut the light
Heavy thoughts tonight
And they aren't of Snow White
Dreams of war, dreams of liars
Dreams of dragon's fire
And of things that will bite, yeah

Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight

Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land

Now I lay me down to sleep
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
If I die before I wake
If I die before I wake
I pray the Lord my soul to take
I pray the Lord my soul to take

Hush, little baby, don't say a word
And never mind that noise you heard
It's just the beasts under your bed
In your closet, in your head

Exit light
Enter night
Grain of sand

Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land, yeah

Uh
Yeah, yeah

Yo, oh

We're off to never-never land
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land

What is the Meaning of Enter Sandman?

Dive into the world of dreams and nightmares with this iconic track! "Enter Sandman" explores the concept of childhood fears, sleep, and what lies beyond in the realm of dreams. The song serves as a dark lullaby, warning about the 'Sandman', a mythical figure who brings dreams to children. It speaks to our primal fear of the unknown, especially what we might encounter in our sleep when our guard is down. The repeated line "Exit light, Enter night" signifies the transition from wakefulness to sleep - from reality to dreamland or even nightmare land. So next time you listen, remember it's not just a song; it's an invitation to explore your deepest fears and anxieties. #Metallica #DreamsAndNightmares
