Insomnia and weird dreams… – Phoenix Rose's Blog

Last night I couldn’t sleep. I just couldn’t. It wasn’t like I was bothered by anything major, nor like I felt stressed. I just didn’t feel tired. When I finally did get to sleep around 3:30 am, I turned off my 5:30 alarm and figured on sleeping until 10 or 11 in the morning. HAH. It’s 8:20 and I’m awake. Have been for a few hours.

Thing is that when I woke up, the record player in my head was playing a song. It happens sometimes, whatever that “I can learn a song in 3 listens” thing is kicks in and repeats the song while I’ve been dreaming. Dreams set to music.

Anyhow, after taking the dog out, doing a bit more laundry, and making breakfast, I realized I was still singing the song. I guess it was supposed to be my subconsious or my guardian angels telling me everything’s going to be ok and to quit stressing. So, what song is it?

Funny enough, it’s So Far Away by Staind.

Lyrics:
This is my life
It’s not what it was before
All these feelings I’ve shared
These are my dreams
That I’d never lived before
Somebody shake me ’cause I
I must be sleeping

Now that we’re here, it’s so far away
All the struggle we thought was in vain
All the mistakes of one life contained
They all finally start to go away
Now that we’re here, it’s so far away
And I feel like I can face the day
I can forgive, and I’m not ashamed
To be the person I am today

These are my words
That I’ve never said before
I think I’m doing okay
And this is the smile
That I’ve never shown before
Somebody shake me ’cause I
I must be sleeping

Now that we’re here, it’s so far away
All the struggle we thought was all in vain
All the mistakes of one life contained
They all finally start to go away
Now that we’re here, it’s so far away
And I feel like I can face the day
I can forgive, and I’m not ashamed
To be the person I am today

I’m so afraid of waking
Please don’t shake me
Afraid of waking
Please dont shake me

I can forgive, and I’m not ashamed
To be the person I am today
