Lyrics Of Sleepy Head

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 all their 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


When we heard this song, we automatically knew we wanted to use this song. This is because we wanted to make a video which doesn't link to the song, using a contrapuntal aspect, as the music is happy, until you read the lyrics, so we wanted to make the tune and the action clash together to leave the music video with a dramatic ending.

"You were one inch from the edge of this bed
I dragged you back a sleepyhead sleepyhead" This makes me automatically think of a relationship between a couple, with the intimate side of the relationship.
The last verse, i believe to be talking about a dream, which can relate to our music video as the action taking place with all the flash backs, and him waking up in the morning is like a dream. But the words in the last verse also make me think of him protecting his girlfriend from the nightmares or something else, which again relates to the action taking place in our music video, as the boy in a way protects his girl, as they're relationship shows him taking care of her.

However, if you have heard our music, you cant really tell what is being said, this i think links to the way people act when they're sleepy, by talking or saying things that don't make sense... again this could relate to our music video as the action taking place can be confusing until the end when it all becomes clear.
