Sleepyhead Lyrics

And everything is going to the beat
And everything is going to the beat
And everything is going

And you said, it was like fire around the brim
Burning solid, burning thin the burning rim
Like stars burning holes right through the dark
Flicking fire like saltwater into my eyes
You were one inch from the edge of this bed
I dragged you back a sleepyhead, sleepyhead

They couldn't think of something to say the day you burst
With hungry lions, with all their might and all their thirst
They crowd your bedroom like some thoughts wearing thin
Against the walls, against your rules, against your skin
My beard grew down to the floor and out through the doors
Of your eyes, begonia skies like a sleepyhead, sleepyhead

What is the Meaning of Sleepyhead?

Navigating through the labyrinth of dreams and reality, this evocative track captures a vivid exploration of love and longing. The singer recounts an intense emotional connection, likened to a fire that's both consuming yet illuminating, symbolizing passionate love. The 'sleepyhead' reference could imply a person lost in dreams or struggling with waking up to harsh realities. The imagery of hungry lions represents intrusive thoughts or challenges that threaten their tranquil world. The intriguing line about the beard growing down to the floor suggests time passing, perhaps indicating a long-lasting affection, while 'begonia skies' in the lover's eyes reflects beauty and optimism amidst chaos. In essence, this song seems to be a poetic expression of enduring love amidst life's tumultuous journey, where reality often collides with our dreamy escapades.
