Manchester Orchestra - Sleeper 1972 [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1: Andy Hull]
When my dad died
The worms ate out both his eyes
His soul flew right up in the sky
I cried myself to sleep

[Verse 2: Andy Hull]
My mother lies
Alone on her back at night
Adding up hours till her demise
She counts herself to sleep

[Verse 3: Andy Hull]
When my sister finds
My body closed up like the blinds
I tell her I promise, it's fine
But she cries herself to sleep

[Verse 4: Andy Hull]
The men in black ties
Arrive at the house in surprise
To find a little girl by your side
In the wood box where you're sleeping

[Verse 5: Andy Hull]
I still see you
Inside of this god-awful house
You move awfully quiet now
And I still feel you everywhere

[Verse 6: Andy Hull]
You told me
This has always been worth living
But what's really worth
Living anymore?
