Crying in Your Sleep

Mile's song 'Crying in Your Sleep' delves into the tumultuous journey of battling inner demons and the quest for emotional stability. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person grappling with intense emotional pain and mental turmoil. The opening lines, 'Calm down, it’s a heart attack, soon it will be back; mind is suffocating,' suggest a recurring cycle of anxiety and distress, likened to a heart attack, emphasizing the severity of the emotional struggle. The metaphor of 'evil rising' and being 'bound to confusion' further illustrates the overwhelming nature of these internal battles.

The chorus, 'You have always wandered in the dark, still crying in your sleep,' highlights a persistent state of despair and the search for a 'spark' or a glimmer of hope. This search for light in the darkness symbolizes the desire for clarity, peace, and resolution. The repetition of 'crying endlessly' underscores the ongoing nature of this struggle, suggesting that the pain is a constant companion, even in sleep.

The verses also touch on the societal pressure to suppress emotions, with lines like 'Lock it up! And bury all your feelings. You will pay the prize' and 'Suck it up! And pull yourself together. You will need to rise.' These lines reflect the common yet harmful advice to ignore or hide one's feelings, which can lead to further emotional damage. The song ultimately portrays a poignant narrative of someone caught in a cycle of pain and the relentless pursuit of inner peace, making it a powerful anthem for those who have faced similar struggles.
