SLEEPWALKER Lyrics – Aries

SLEEPWALKER Lyrics Meaning

[Chorus: Aries]
The singer is wondering if the person he cares about still reaches out when things get tough, like when they feel overwhelmed or desperate. It feels like a now-or-never kind of situation, and he’s drifting back toward them like he’s sleepwalking—lost in dreams that don’t feel right anymore. Something about the connection has changed.

[Verse 1: Aries]
He’s talking about a moment where they went somewhere together—maybe physically or emotionally—and things got confusing, even messy. The other person seems to cross lines that shouldn’t be crossed, and he’s asking them to back off. There’s something intense and addictive about her—like she’s obsessed or always watching. He let his guard down too quickly, and now it feels like she’s gotten into his head, even taken control of parts of his mind that used to feel like his own. The repeated “back up” shows his growing discomfort and the need for space.

[Pre-Chorus: Aries]
He’s saying that maybe not knowing everything is better for his peace of mind. Sometimes it’s easier to keep things vague than face a harsh reality. Even though he’s trying to protect himself by staying in the dark, there’s still a part of him that needs to ask some final questions before walking away.

[Chorus: Aries & brakence, brakence]
He’s still unsure if she’s reaching out when she feels that pressure—like when emotions are boiling over. He keeps going back to her like he’s on autopilot, even though things don’t feel the same anymore. The connection used to be dreamy and comforting, but now it’s changed—more uncertain and maybe even painful.

[Verse 2: brakence, Aries]
They went through something together that left him feeling both lost and found, like he discovered something real but also ended up confused. Her presence was seductive—symbolized by the lace nightgown—and he gave himself fully to her. He opens up emotionally, hoping she hears and responds. There’s a sense that something big is coming, maybe an end, but there’s also hope they could start fresh if they’re careful. He’s on the edge emotionally, almost ready to fall. She tells him to keep talking and trying, but warns him not to cross a boundary—hinting that love comes with rules and limits.

[Pre-Chorus: brakence]
He’s warning that lies can ruin everything between them, like they’re using up all their luck. Again, he’s saying it’s easier to deal with things when he doesn’t know too much. The more he understands, the more painful things get. He’s searching for something that’s missing, but staying in the dark might hurt less than seeing things as they really are.

[Chorus: Aries & brakence]
The same thoughts return—he wonders if she still needs him when she’s under pressure. He’s drawn to her like he’s sleepwalking again, stuck in a dream that feels different now. Things used to be comforting but now feel distant or unfamiliar.

[Outro: Aries & brakence, brakence]
He’s asking again if she still calls out to him emotionally, needing him like before. She once told him he’s fragile—like his jaw could shatter—and he used to focus on every little flaw or issue in the relationship. Now, he’s drifting back to her like he’s sleepwalking again, unable to let go even though nothing feels the same. He keeps circling the same issues, but still finds himself pulled toward her. The relationship feels unstable—one wrong move or lie could break it for good. Despite knowing that, he keeps returning, caught in the same emotional loop, unable to break free.
