Asleep

Today's track is another from the movie Sucker Punch.  There's really quite a few good points to the overall point of the movie despite having a rather weak plot overall.  A lot of the narrative to the movie really does a great job of getting through points of inner strength and accountability.

Asleep, sung by Emily Browning (who also plays the title role of Baby Doll) comes at the beginning and end of the movie... simply wanting some rest or simply to get away from the existing existence.  If you see the movie you'll understand a little better.

I like this track because as a chronic insomniac I really would love to simply get some sleep.  I think at times death might be indeed the only final bit of rest.

Sing me to sleep,
Sing me to sleep,
I'm tired and I..
I want to go to bed

Sing me to sleep,
Sing me to sleep,
And then leave me alone.
Don't try to wake me in the morning
'Cause I will be gone.
Don't feel bad for me
I want you to know,
Deep in the cell of my heart
I will feel so glad to go.

Sing me to sleep,
Sing me to sleep,
I don't want to wake up
On my own anymore.

Sing to me,
Sing to me,
I don't want to wake up
On my own anymore.

Don't feel bad for me
I want you to know,
Deep in the cell of my heart
I really want to go

(ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh)

Sing me to sleep,
Sing me to sleep,

(oooooooahhhhhhh)

There is another world
There is a better world
Well, there must be.
Ohhhhh, there must be.

There is another world.
There is a better world.


But think I'd rather end with one of the more uplifting quotes from the movie:
"You can deny angels exist, Convince ourselves they can't be real. But they show up anyway, at strange places and at strange times. They can speak through any character we can imagine. They'll shout through demons if they have to. Daring us, challenging us to fight."
