This song is about that moment when you wake up with an idea or revelation but cannot remember it because of the foggy sleep like state your mind us in
[Verse 1]
I can’t describe the feeling when
I’m in my bed asleep and then
I wake up with a vision blurred
And all my efforts are deterred
To reconstruct this image lost
[Verse 2]
There’re certain things my mind must do
And even though they’re very few
The image glistens like a gem
Repairing is not one of them
So I’m awake though in my mind
The image that so unrefined
Is calling to me from the deep
And tempting me to fall asleep
