this song played in the car 3 years ago as I was visiting my hometown and hanging out with one of my closest friends. we were driving and it came on, and it along with the conversation we had earlier that night, helped both of us realize we were in love with each other. I moved back a few months later to be with him. we moved in together, got married, and it's our daughter's birthday today. so thank you, Lumineers, for helping a random couple of people who'd been hurt in the past realize they needed to take a shot at love.

A note from Wesley on the video: “Cleopatra made me cry in the studio and I had to stop the take. It’s inspired by a true story about a female taxi driver who, when she was younger, was proposed to. But her father had just passed away, so she didn’t give her boyfriend an answer. So he left the village broken-hearted and rejected and never returned again. He was her great love and she wouldn’t wash the footprints off the floor after he had left. I knew immediately that I wanted to write a song about the story because it was so haunting and poetic. And I got to meet the lady herself eventually and she was very honest and humble. She really affected me because of the sadness in her story. In today’s world, we are just inundated with images of grandness and how great everyone’s life is. And it’s not true. In fact, it’s depressing. This was a real and honest story.” -Wesley Schultz

Okay so hear me out. About SLEEP ON THE FLOOR, ANGELA and CLEOPATRA. So basically of course this is open to a lot of interpretations but WHAT IF, all three videos (Sleep On The Floor, Angela and Cleopatra) are the story of one woman. Cleopatra. The old lady. And the ‘what ifs’ of her life. The girl from Sleep on the Floor got a wave tattoo, the pregnant lady from Angela has the same tattoo. So she could be that girl. The old woman and her son who she picks up, could be that pregnant lady and that son could be the child she was bearing. You see that transition happening in every video where it’s almost like a person's soul escaping the body and going ahead living a life of its own. So then we got two narratives. One is the actual reality and the other is the WHAT IF. In the actual reality, she never ran away with the love of her life in Sleep on the floor. In Angela, she's married and pregnant with someone else and in Cleopatra she doesn’t live with that child’s father as we see her dropping her own son and not going to the house. In the WHAT IF, in Sleep on the Floor she does run away with the love of her life and get married, but wakes up in reality. Again in Angela, the what IF is she runs away from that husband and reminisces her lost love as we see her dancing. In Cleopatra, she lives alone but the WHAT IF is when she craves for that love and family we see that transition happening and a part of her escapes her and joins that family. And another angle to that is, the day in the life of Cleopatra that we see, the old woman as a taxi driver picking up passengers, every passenger that comes, represents a phase of her life. From her being a child, to her running away with her love, to turning pregnant and being alone. Moving onto other phases of her life of grief and loneliness because then we only see single passengers, no one is in pairs. Imagine the attention to detail these guys have put into creating these three videos.

Ophelia Meaning : The film opens with “Ophelia.” This is really one of the only parts of the film in which The Lumineers actually appear. It’s a way for them to introduce the ballad, with a song they hold close to their hearts. “Ophelia” deals with the success, expectations, and pressure the band has gone through since rising to fame, which is why this song means so much to them. I, I got a little paycheck You got big plans and you gotta move (whoo!) And I don’t feel nothing at all And you can’t feel nothing small “Ophelia” is a constant reminder for The Lumineers. It allows them to take a step back and appreciate all that has happened to them, and that’s exactly what the video depicts. The band is playing the song for a crowd when lead singer, Wesley Shultz, steps out of his own body and removes himself from the chaos of his current life; just as the meaning of the song depicts. He exits the building and begins to dance along the street to the beat of the music. The song continues as he pleasantly strides along. As the music of Ophelia fades out, transitional notes fall in, eventually leading Shultz into the taxicab, of one, Cleopatra. They share a conversation unheard to our ears, and thus, the story begins. Cleopatra Meaning Shultz exits the car and “Cleopatra” the song begins as Cleopatra, the driver, waits for her next passenger. The “Cleopatra” portion of the ballad follows the beautiful taxi driver with wild gray hair and eyes full of wisdom, through her shift. As she drives along the busy streets you are able to see that she is reminiscing. She is reminiscing on the “what ifs” that life inevitably brings you. It’s not so much about regret, as it is about thinking about the path you took in life, and realizing that for whatever reason, it was the path you needed to take. I was Cleopatra, I was young and an actress When you knelt by my mattress, and asked for my hand But I was sad you asked it, as I laid in a black dress With my father in a casket, I had no plans And I left the footprints, the mud stained on the carpet And it hardened like my heart did when you left town But I must admit it, that I would marry you in an instant Damn your wife, I’d be your mistress just to have you around Casts of characters enter in and out of the cab, some familiar and some not, some metaphorical and some literal. Each character has a different story, and each taken in by our seasoned Cleopatra. So I drive a taxi, and the traffic distracts me From the strangers in my backseat, they remind me of you But I was late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I’ll be on time Eventually she turns the meter off, and picks up her adult son from the airport, who enters the front seat with a wide-eyed smile and a grand hug. They drive until dusk. They stop to enjoy burgers with full smiles and genuine laughs before night falls and she must take him to his father. The song comes to a close as she drops her son off to his father’s home, and that’s when the first “what if” of the ballad, a theme that reoccurs throughout, happens. Cleopatra imagines going in to make amends with the father so they can enjoy their son’s stay together, as a family. However, instead she turns around, gets in her car, and drives away. And the only gifts from my Lord were a birth and a divorce But I’ve read this script and the costume fits, so I’ll play my part She drives. Her face is sullen and soft. A smooth transition begins as Cleopatra transforms into a much younger version of herself, driving away from something else, with the same soft and sullen look upon her face. What comes next is the beginning for Cleopatra, the beginning of the “What Ifs.” Sleep on the Floor Meaning Peaceful piano track “Patience” plays as we see the youngest version of Cleopatra sad and transfixed, staring deeply into her boyfriend’s eyes, standing at her father’s funeral. As the keys of the piano put you at ease, everything moves in slow motion. The boy slowly approaches her and whispers, “If you don’t leave now you may never make it out.” With that, “Sleep On The Floor” begins, and Cleopatra imagines what could have been if she left with the love of her life on that very day. Pack yourself a toothbrush dear Pack yourself a favorite blouse Take a withdrawal slip Take all of your savings out ‘Cause if we don’t leave this town We might never make it out I was not born to drown Baby come on “Sleep On The Floor” takes us on a journey. The young and in love couple drive across the states. They wander in and out of dirty motels, they meet new people, and they find themselves free. Although they have nothing stable or secure - they have each other. And what we come to find, is that is quite literally all that they need. They eventually marry, happy as ever, and dance into the night. As they lay down to sleep on their wedding night “Sleep On The Floor” comes to a close. The young Cleopatra locks eyes with the camera before the scene shifts out of the “what if” scenario and into reality. She’s now back in her car, just as we saw her before the song began, with that soft and sullen look on her face. She looks in the rearview, only for a second, and then continues to drive on, always moving forward. Angela Meanign “Angela” begins with Cleopatra slightly older and pregnant. She’s in bed with her husband, safe and secure in a nice home. However, it’s easy to tell she does not want to be there. At this point in the ballad you know who the Cleopatra character is, or at least who she wants to be. She’s “taller than the rafters.” Life has gotten in the way of who she wanted to become, but that still doesn’t change who she is at her core. And so, as the guitar plucks of “Angela” continue, we see the older, pregnant Cleopatra leave her body, and begin to imagine what life would be like, if she left him when she wanted to. When you left this town, with your windows down And the wilderness inside Let the exits pass, all the tar and glass ‘Til the road and sky align The strangers in this town, They raise you up just to cut you down Oh Angela it’s a long time coming And your Volvo lights lit up green and white With the cities on the signs But you held your course to some distant war In the corners of your mind She’s back to driving, back where she always seems to be - on the open road, on her own, moving forward. But this time the look on her face is not soft or sullen. It’s determined. Determined to hold her course. She drives far and wide until she reaches a motel. She gets out of the car, looks to the sky, and for the first time in the ballad she expresses joy, celebration, and finally, peace. The “Angela” video takes us on the journey of the heart and soul that is the Cleopatra character - following your gut and your heart to its wits end. My Eyes MEaning “My Eyes” is the bow that ties the story of this legend together. She’s older now; older than she was when we first met her in the taxi. She’s in a nursing home, sharing stories with the nurse, and waiting for her time to end. Oh, the devil’s inside You opened the door You gave him a ride Too young to know, too old to admit That you couldn’t see how it ends What did you do to my eyes What did you sing to that lonely child Promised it all but you lied You better slow down baby soon It’s all or nothing to you Before it ends, we see Cleopatra shift out of her body one last time, to make the move we know she wants to make. She walks down the empty halls, out of the nursing home door, and into the abyss. “The Ballad Of Cleopatra” spreads the wisdom of this character onto those who view it. She shows you to be strong and to stay true to yourself. She shows you that you may not end up exactly where you thought you would. And she shows you that even if you don’t become who you thought you would be - it doesn’t matter, becuase in the end, the only thing that really matters in your life are the people you could never and would never want to life without. So choose those people, and hold on to them tight. I won’t be late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I’ll be on time

The narrative order: "Sleep on the Floor", "Angela", "Cleopatra, "Ophelia" (order is also exact opposite of the time release of the videos on KZbin). After her father's death ("my father in a casket", Cleopatra lyrics), girl is asked by guy to leave town, but she didn't and ends up bearing a child to another guy and of course has regrets ("Angela" lyrics starts with referring to the guy who left town and there's a scene of them in "Angela" video that is taken from the "Sleep on the Floor" clip) and ironically feels free and "home at last" ("Angela" lyrics) when she goes out of the house. In Cleopatra, she's the taxi driver (proof: the same wave tattoo on arm and scar on cheek) and is "divorced" ("Cleopatra" lyrics) (also, the end shows how she didn't enter the house of her ex-husband along with her son) ("Ophelia" lyrics: "got a little paycheck, you gotta move"). Like the Ophelia character in Shakespeare's "Hamlet", the story's about a girl and choices and 'what if's of two worlds (there's always a splitting scene of one's self in all four videos), and, like the Cleopatra character in Shakespeare's "Antony and Cleopatra", she had her times of glory, but that's past now. In the song Ophelia, Wesley (the vocalist) talks of how she has "been on [Wesley's] mind", reflecting on the whole narrative, and thus the production of the brilliantly interconnected songs and video clips. What do you think?

Dear Cleopatra, I have listened to this storyline of yours since the beginning. I cried countless times too. As years passed by, I realised it was never your fault to be late. The one who didn't know how to wait for you was the one. They asked you to leave with them when you were still grieving the loss of a closed one,who you didn't even get to bury yet. When your emotion was all tangled up all over the place. They didn't understand you. Respect you enough to be thoughtful. So it wasn't you who were late for the love of your life. You were just being a human and they didn't see you as the love of their life. So if you die alone on time, don't have regrets or disappointments for yourself. What's not ours, will always find flaws in us and an excuse to leave. Even the right time cannot make them stay. They were never meant to do that. My heart goes to you. I hope you learned to forgive yourself. ❤

Láyrics I was Cleopatra, I was young and an actress When you knelt by my mattress, and asked for my hand But I was sad you asked it, as I laid in a black dress With my father in a casket, I had no plans, yeah And I left the footprints, the mud stained on the carpet And it hardened like my heart did when you left town But I must admit it, that I would marry you in an instant Damn your wife, I'd be your mistress just to have you around But I was late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time While the church discouraged, any lust that burned within me Yes my flesh, it was my currency, but I held true So I drive a taxi, and the traffic distracts me From the strangers in my backseat, they remind me of you But I was late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time And the only gifts from my Lord were a birth and a divorce But I've read this script and the costume fits, so I'll play my part I was Cleopatra, I was taller than the rafters But that's all in the past now, gone with the wind Now a nurse in white shoes leads me back to my guestroom It's a bed and a bathroom And a place for the end I won't be late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time

Watch Sleep on the floor, Angela and Cleopatra in that order. I think the slightly chubbier guy with glasses at 1:10 is the guy who Cleopatra refused to run away with when her father laid in a casket. (She did imagine running away with him in Sleep on the floor). She married another man later and left him in Angela. The ex- husband appears in the end of this video. The older lady in the yellow sweater is Cleopatra at a later age. All these women have a scar on their left cheek. The director of this series deserves an award!

I feel like everyone focuses on the Regret part of this story, when Cleopatra didn't go with her love, but that disregards the happiness of this song. True she never went, and had her son with someone she didn't love, but look at how HAPPY she is with her son! And at the end she even wishes she went in with him and his father (her ex), left behind her regret, and found happiness again. But alas, she is just as obsessed with her regret as we are.

Just an observation, but if seems like the woman is driving around, or remembering, her past self. When the pregnant girl gets in the taxi, you can see a cut on her cheekbone and when she gets out, the woman driving the taxi has that same cut on her cheek. I think it shows her driving her young self away from the man we saw her son walk up to at the end of the video. And of course, the different reality that would have been had she not left. Just my take :)

I love this song on all levels. It's such a complete piece of storytelling with such the compelling through-line: 'I was late for this; I was late for that; late for the love of my life. When I die alone; die alone; then I'll be on time'. Such a beautiful way of capturing such a heroically unapologetic view of the tragedy of a lifetime's regret. Kinda sums up everything.

These videos are so beautiful. I cried. multiple times. what people aren't getting is when the ghosting happens and the frame changes, those are all the things she wished she had done. She didn't marry and get divorced from the man she was with on sleep on the floor. She married someone she didn't really love. That's why when you see the middle aged version of her (wish to) leave and drive away in Angela, she does the dance she did with her true love in sleep on the floor all by herself. which is why it's so heart breaking. and she sees her true love with her son at the end of cleopatra. Jeez. my heart hearts but it's so beautiful at the same time.

It had been 3 years since I had seen her, and the realisation that I was standing near her, walking down her street, only began to dawn when this song came on. We listened to it together on my headphones, as she showed me her life. Where she had gone to nursery, her dentists, where she went to get her groceries. The streets smelt like chocolate chip cookies from the local cookie factory, and the sun was so bright I could see little gold flecks. I don’t think I’d ever been happier

This song is simply beautiful. The lyrics and true story behind them are both sad and inspiring. The video plays out like a movie, one you wish would never end. It seems to me that all the women with the same scar she has on her face represent what could have been. My first thoughts about the boy she meets and greets were that he could be her son, but then the ending of the video made me think of something else. Maybe the man we see, the boy's father, is the man who proposed to her -that's why we see her both going inside the house (with her mind and her heart) and her driving away, sad, alone, full of regrets.

few songs and videos evokes such strong surges of emotion and meaning for me, but the lumineers seem to convey their poetic effect so effortlessly, so minimally that the grand feelings are not overshadowed by production. there is something very special about this band; they see things and they understand. hold them close to your hearts, please.

LYRICS: I was Cleopatra, I was young and an actress When you knelt by my mattress, and asked for my hand But I was sad you asked it, as I laid in a black dress With my father in a casket, I had no plans, yeah And I left the footprints, the mud stain on the carpet And it hardened like my heart did when you left town But I must admit it, that I would marry you in an instant Damn your wife, I'd be your mistress just to have you around But I was late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life And when I die alone, when I die alone, die I'll be on time, ah, yeah While the church discouraged, any lust that burned within me Yes my flesh, it was my currency, but I held true So I drive a taxi, and the traffic distracts me From the strangers in my backseat, they remind me of you But I was late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time And the only gifts from my Lord were a birth and a divorce But I've read this script and the costume fits, so I'll play my part I was Cleopatra, I was taller than the rafters But that's all in the past love, gone with the wind Now a nurse in white shoes leads me back to my guestroom It's a bed and a bathroom And a place for the end I won't be late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life And when I die alone, when I die alone, die I'll be on time, ah

Seeing all the Love and Beauty available in life, yet somehow always missing out on it or losing it yourself, brings on more of the pain that’s already abundant. We SEE it, we just can’t ever seem to be a part of it. We missed our bus.

Ok so just to be clear about the story that Sleep on the Floor, Angela, and Cleopatra are telling: A girl is at a funeral for her father when the guy she loves leaves for good. Sleep on the floor is the hypothetical situation where she leaves with him instead of staying at the funeral. However, she doesn't do that. Since she didn't do that, she ends up marrying somebody she doesn't really love and, plagued by regret over her past decision, leaves him that night, the hypothetical situation being if she just went back to bed. She has her child, ending up as a taxi driver in Cleopatra. Throughout Cleopatra, she encounters all the what if's in her life, but despite being bittersweet about the decisions she's made, she loves her only son, and regrets leaving his father as now she feels alone in the world every night. Did I get all that right?

Aannahweii Jo Sleep on the Floor actually happened. That was her thinking about a trip they had actually taken. She regrets not actually getting married to him, and at her father's funeral he gives her one last chance. She doesn't go with him though.
@ryanmcalvey69177 жыл бұрын
so if Sleep on the Floor actually happened why aren't they married anymore? Remember, at the party, she proposed to him and they got married in the backyard of the house. When the screen is narrow I believe that signifies reality, whereas when it is wide it signifies her fantasies.

oh, I got one bit wrong. the man at the end of cleopatra isn't her true love. The only time you really see her with her true love is on sleep on the floor (and a bit of angela) because she didn't go with her love after mourning the death of her father, she never sees him again. This is a true story of a family friend The Lumineers wrote these songs about. het name is Manana who drives taxis. Wesley, the lead singer, had to stop recording one of the takes of cleopatra in the studio because he was crying too hard to finish :( :( that's how close to the story and the songs he got to.

Chelsey Ray Awesome! I put together some of this so far, you cleared up some questions I had. Sleep On The Floor Angela Cleopatra She doesn't leave with the boy, gets pregnant of another man and runs away (her mo) and in cleopatra she is the taxi driver, she sees herself in all her passengers. She looks back at her life with a lot of regret, she's plagued by "what if."

@xpf157 жыл бұрын
Also, in "sleep on the floor", I realized the song is being sung by her true loves point of view he's telling her all the things he wants her to do with him, and in cleopatra it's like she's responding to her true love from sleep on the floor and all the regrets she's had in her life(besides her son from angela which is the boy in cleopatra) hence the lyrics "the only gifts from my lord, were a birth and a divorce. Sayings she's grateful for the birth of her son and the fact that she got divorced from someone she didn't love.

Perfect. I commented on a like every one of these three videos. With other people helping like you "we" all pieced it together. That is interesting what you wrote about them recording, I had a feeling whomever the subject had to be close to the writer, it's such an intimate story. I love it!! Do you think Ophelia fits in somewhere too? I am wondering if that's the start, if that is her as a child. It took me a bit to realize the "body splitting" were like choices, if she did X then it would have played out like so (or she imagines how it would play out) and if she chooses Y it would play out another way. Like the story of her pivotal decisions and what she did, now looking back she is regretting not taking the chance with the boy in SOTF. I can so relate to this, and I am in an on again off again relationship right now with a woman I love so dearly, due to life circumstances I don't know how it will play out- if we will end up together or not. But I know in my heart what i want, and I think she does too ass even the "off" times in our relationship we still talk often and it's clear neither of us want to just walk away, we are both at that pivotal moment that the character is in on SOTF. We don't want to just give up, "it's too hard to maintain a relationship with work and school ect" or that old bullshit word about timing, "it's not the right time." When is it ever the right time? This moment is all I have, it's all we have. I don't want to look back like Cleopatra and think, "well.. what if?"
@xpf157 жыл бұрын
+J Paul Rogers go for it! go for your love! you don't want to end up like the ending of SOTF. you don't want to have a "what if". Love is worth it all in the end. Also, I researched Ophelia and it doesn't have to do with the other three. It's about falling In love with fame, but fame doesn't love him back the same way because it's fleeting and doesn't last forever. He makes the metaphor for fame into a girl named Ophelia. hence the lyric "I got a new girlfriend." He's saying fame/Ophelia is his new girlfriend and in the lyrics "you got big plans and you gotta move And I don't feel nothing at all And you can't feel nothing small" he's saying Ophelia/fame is moving on to the next star and that their time together was fleeting.
