“how to sleep” is the 7th song on EDEN’s sophomore album titled “no future”. The main theme, which can be garnered from the title, is the pursuit for sleep and the explanations behind the lack of it. At the start of the song EDEN tries to portray the gravity of the relationship he’s in, how it is al...
[Intro]
I don't think I knew
That I felt like I knew what I was doing
But I don't really remember
Feeling very scared about it
[Pre-Chorus]
The water was cool, and you're shining
The windows were burning patterns in my mind
Running away was so tiring
Holding your stare, I felt miles behind
And how do you love when you're frightened?
The thought of me fucking up all these threads
Situations I know are just passing
I'm holding on for you, and static feel
[Chorus]
The light ran down the wall, holding back the stars
Dividing us in new ways away from sleep
Confusion has its cost, wave pools in the dark
Crashing 'round my head
[Bridge]
I don't think there was like, a happiest time
I feel like there are happy moments
[Pre-Chorus]
The water was cool, and you're shining
The windows were burning patterns in my mind
Running away was so tiring
Holding your stare, I slip miles behind
And how do you love when you're frightened?
The thought of me fucking up all these threads
Situations I know are just passing
I'm holding on for you, and how to sleep
[Outro]
The light ran down the wall, holding back the stars
Dividing us in new ways away from sleep
Confusion has its cost, wave pools in the dark
Crashing 'round my head
