" if brokenness is a form of art, surely this must be my masterpiece."!

[carolina]

"I'm only honest when it rains" every time I have to share true deep feelings I feel so overwhelmed that I let them slip through tears and this line describes it perfectly

[mystery]

sleeping at last is like one of my favorite artist now

[rissykline]

aesthetics:
blue lighting, thunderstorms, crumbling statues, destroyed paintings, the weak glow of blue neon lights, the melancholy that comes with midnight rain, chapped lips, cold tears that drip off your chin

[sharonf]

Maybe I’m just projecting, but I think this song is about someone who struggles with relationships and intimacy and vulnerability because they were never equipped for it in the first place. “You let me set sail with cheap wood so I patched up every leak that I could”- the person’s environment left them averse to relationships (that weakness is the “cheap wood) and they have to do their best with it. The chorus is how the person functions in a relationship as a result. Fearing vulnerability & intimacy, they’re rarely honest about how they feel and who they are, and on the rare occasion when they let something slip, they cover it up so it will be forgotten or overlooked. It’s not that they don’t love the people they’re in relationships with, it’s that they don’t know how to show that love or feel it comfortably.
Maybe I’m totally off base, but I know that these words made me feel understood in this way for the first time. I never thought I’d come across art that was brave enough to put words to that experience without villainizing it.

A little bit of a different take, but I see this as someone who is struggling with self acceptance. They're trying to learn to love themself but they don't know how.

[PineapplesPerhaps]

After a year I still haven't found words to describe the magic of Sleeping at Last

[lilyphillips]

I cry everytime I hear this because when I look at my self I want to love myself but I just don't know how...

[Genesis-drjd]

To everyone in the world, everywhere, my family, my friends, animals, and things that aren't alive and to myself, I wanna love you but I dont know how.

[cursedalien]

I feel like this is about a person who struggles to show love because they, themselves, were never shown love. They want to show love to another person and break the cycle, but having never been shown love can really mess with a person.

[azulblvd]

“I don’t know” it repeats. I imagine this as someone trying to explain to someone else how they feel. They way they would be frustrated grabbing there hair pacing back and forth “I don’t know how, I don’t know how, I don’t know what’s wrong I don’t know why” but it’s written in this beautiful song so peaceful. Which makes me have hope.

[brittneymchenry]

It's funny how one line of a song can make you love the whole thing

[jazzishuman]

I find it kinda interesting that everyone relate to the "I wanna love you but I dont know how" or "if brokeness is a form of art", because, even though I realte to that, the part with "I only honest when it rains, If I time it right the thundre break when I open my mouth/An open book with an torn out page" more, since I don't lie that often, but I dont tell the truth that often either. This song basically discribes me with others...

I love galaxy things and I love that the songs are named after planets🌌

[snooze.]

"i'm only honest when it rains, if i time it right the thunder breaks when i open my mouth."

i will never get over this line

[PrzemeQ_XY]

Some songs simply belongs to realm of 'sung poetry'.
This one is just...
...a prime example of that.
So many on-point parallels & metaphors.
I'm left

This could be about someone who's true love left/died and they meet someone else. They realize this person could be their next love...but it won't be like what they had before. They don't want to fall in love with this person, but they find themselves opening up to this person. The person is obviously in love with them but they don't know how how to love them back because they are scared to let go and move on from what they had before...even though they love the person. They still feel married to their loved one even though they died. This song is about that struggle.

[BAMBIPLUS]

From the girl who speaks from the universe, to the boy who’d do anything to hear it again...

[fibrods]

can we just admit that we're all torn apart but we just want to know how to love a person, fully, like how they deserve to be.

but we can't, we just... can't.

[thrashgodcid]

im usually a metal typ eof dude but holy fuck im in love with this song
