My interpertation of this song is that its talking about how life doesnt even feel like life anymore. when you are just a little todler you spend most of your days in kindergarten. teenage years hit and you go to school for over 10 years five times a day. you wake up really early, get ready, go to school, spend half of your day (or more) in school, go home, do homework, study, you have little time left for yourself and then repeat everything for litearly years. You graduate and you have to find a job. wake up, get ready for job, spend almost the whole day in your job, go home and repeat. you become old and you need help from others to help you. "Its always been the same, so lets go back to sleep" you become tired of repeating everything over and over and over, yet you cant do anything because thats how society works, so lets go back to sleep... Its all a pettern, schedgule. This isnt life, it doesnt feel like one. Its like you are a robot and not a human.

Okay this song was really hard to interpret, however, what I got from it is that it’s about somebody struggling maybe with depression, or just struggling in general. The song talks about being tired from school, really wanting to go home. I think: They’re trapped in this depressive state, and the only way to escape is sleep. School drains the person narrating the song, and it’s tiring to even get home. It’s a struggle. Or, home is an escape from school snd then once they’re back they sleep, wake up, and repeat. A tortoise in a shell, as they sleep, they hide from their troubles, just like a tortoise hiding in it’s shell. It feels safe, surrounded by things it’s familiar with, such as sea life or flounder and sea breams.
@Stelreda Жыл бұрын

That’s my interpretation of it too. Exactly what I’m going through right now so it’s so relatable
I love this song so much and I'm so happy that his old style is back. The background sounds are so satisfying. Judging by the lyrics alone it might be about someone with depression seeing their life unchanging and with sleep being their only escape from it. But the feeling I got from the song was actually different, like someone perhaps kidnapped someone or is manipulating them but still convinces that person that everything is the same as always, that they just need to sleep because ''it's all alright'', while actually nothing is the same (the image video changing and distorting) and they are being manipulated. The house imagery might mean that they're kept locked in a house. At least that's how it felt to me, but both interpretations felt right.

I think it could also be interpreted as any grief-causing change, it could be losing someone. Maybe someone starts to be/becomes more abusive. Maybe they’re in the middle of a legal despuite and the childs life is being pulled in all directions while they have to still go do their day-to-day. There seems to be a point where something suddenly happens though, and the visuals seem to scew afterward just as you guys said. It could be a kidnapping or the death of a loved one (or animal!). Whether they’re still trying to live life after would tell us a lot, if they really are just trying to sleep it might be they literally have no choice but give into delusion…

"flounder and sea breams" "tortoise shell" These phrases also appear in the song of the Japanese folktale "Urashima Taro". At the seashore, Urashima Taro rescued a tortoise picked on. and rode on the tortoise shell to the underwater castle(Ryugu-jo). He was welcomed by princesses and fish(Dance of flounder and sea breams). He had spent only a few days in Ryugu-jo Castle, but in that time 700 years had passed.
