SleepMode

BONES' song 'SleepMode' delves into the complexities and uncertainties of life, capturing the ebb and flow of human experience. The opening lines, 'Some days better than others, yeah I agree / Other days I forget I'm lucky I can breathe,' set the tone for a reflective journey. These lyrics highlight the fluctuating nature of existence, where moments of gratitude can be overshadowed by the mundane or challenging aspects of daily life. The artist uses vivid imagery, such as 'Me to roadkill when I'm hopping off the curb,' to convey feelings of vulnerability and the unpredictability of life's path.

The song also touches on themes of missed opportunities and collective responsibility. Lines like 'Sorry to say, but we blew that chance / The last of the grains gone, no more sand' suggest a sense of regret and the irreversible passage of time. The metaphor of a 'trap door' opening and 'eternity closing' evokes a sense of impending doom, urging listeners to reflect on their actions and their impact on the world. BONES emphasizes the importance of self-awareness and accountability, as seen in the lines 'Support what supports you it's up to you / Do what you want to do / Hopefully, you give back to the roots.' This call to action encourages individuals to contribute positively to their communities and the environment.

The repetitive refrain 'I'll never know, no, no' underscores the theme of uncertainty and the limits of human understanding. This repetition creates a haunting echo, reminding listeners of the mysteries that life holds and the questions that may never be answered. The song's closing chant, 'SESH,' serves as a signature of BONES' collective, TeamSESH, and reinforces the artist's connection to his creative community. Through 'SleepMode,' BONES invites listeners to ponder their place in the world, the choices they make, and the legacy they leave behind.
