What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
I seem to find myself talking to the powers that be
2
Awaking the shade and shadowed under towering trees
3
Admiring the scene, inhaling fumes of flowers that breathe.
4
Jet-lagged eyes are begging for an hour to sleep
5
Although my blood shot whites and irises they never find any
6
Clock stops at times where the sunshine can blind many
7
Although my eyes are heavy, they won't be closing soon
8
'Cause I heard that time waits for nobody, I suppose it's true
9
We make corrosive tunes through acid tabs and vocables
10
To see the flashing lights at photo shoots, we make our motive moves
11
I say whatever I feel to vent a rhyme
12
So I can still invent the lines and stay close to the friends of mine
13
"'Cause real will recognize real" is what my father says
14
And I'll be sticking to this phrase until I pass away
15
Overworking, no sleep is just another way to die slow
16
But I'll just keep going strong and never let my eyes close.
17
Five o'clock with lights off
18
Interview with a vampire
19
Sleep is for the living and not a utensil that I require
20
I swear I said, that I'll sleep when I'm dead
21
Who's on the beat upon the feature with Ed, it's D-E-V to the Z
22
Overtired, pale-faced like Michael Myers
23
Bags underneath my eyes can show the baggage I've acquired
24
And over the time within this maze I'll think you'll find you'll never find that piece of mind you seek to find until your dying
25
'Cause I got too much to stay awake for, to sleep or even take 4, seconds out the game
26
It's time to wage war
27
Scissors, grab a sword, and sharpen up your hunting knives
28
2 psychopathic lyricists are driving on the hunt tonight
29
I'm haling from the Essex and the East London boarder line
30
Villains never sleep the mastermind in all sorts of crimes,
31
Be wide awake just like your snorting lines
32
Or get left mortified like you've just seen the ghost of Jesus walking by
33
[Chorus]
34
I never sleep
35
When trouble steals thoughts from my restless mind for free, it could be,
36
The times I'm living in I never sleep, when trouble steals thoughts from my restless Mind for free, it could be...
37
The times I'm living in lately.
38
I brush my teeth every night but still I wake up with a bad mouth
39
And the background is my past and my presence will bring it back out
40
Deliver the raps how I flow
41
I live with the raps now and those that hate me call me Ron
42
But they won't Slytherin too easy, believe me I'm Snape minded
43
Be within this great time, be on minimum wage, life is a prison escape that I'm in
44
It's all to do with timing not the label that you sign with
45
Then my mates are doing fine but then they never put the time in
46
I try to hide my cold side like when I flip my pillows
47
Some of the the songs I write are real because the chart is filled with si-lo-con
48
I'm still broke without the money for a Mac Pro, living out of three bags no talk About my cash flow
49
Opposite of sober cause I never did my homework
50
Which has got me on the sofa, no degree but growing older
51
I played a fool to catch the wise I will never tell a lie
52
Await death, take deep breaths, try to never die.
53
Never die.
54
Two guys with the same view, keep it tight like screws
55
Making metaphors flow and move, like typhoons and tunes
56
And if we got our eyes on you, we'll catch you while you snooze,
57
Times elapsing while your catching Z's, the masses like to move
58
We scan the situation, analyse information, and then decide what probably is most Practical to do,
59
Driven young gentlemen
60
I've hardly changed my bed sheets at all over the last 12 months 'causeI haven't Slept in them, true!
61
I'm coming home, the lights are on, your rights are wrong so I'm correcting 'em
62
We got the fans all like 'Oh wow it's Devs and Ed' what less did you bloody expect From 'em
63
In the end sleep deprivation might just be our detriment
64
Fighting through writers block from 9 o'clock to 5 o'clock and no way will I ever Waste a second of the time I got,
65
I keep my pupils engaged,
66
Like a classroom in holy matrimony but I'm only trying to stay awake.
67
[Chorus]
68
I never sleep
69
When trouble steals thoughts from my restless mind for free, it could be,
70
The times I'm living in I never sleep, when trouble steals thoughts from my restless Mind for free, it could be... [x4]
71
The times I'm living in lately.
