Endless Sleeper Lyrics

Sand in my shoes
And death on my mind
But it's over
It's over
For now

Crying
Mothers
Your sons have drowned
Memories
What memories have the dead
Sometimes I sleep
With my doors unlocked
Sometimes I take on the ocean
Draw the Ace of Spades
And break all the mirrors
And I'm fucked

Shy away from the real thing
You know there is no God
You shy away from everything
You shy away from me

Nowhere to run
In your dreams you are aimless
Nowhere to hide
In your dreams you are useless
How do you sleep
When in dreams you are careless
How do you wake
When your sleep it is endless

Endless Sleeper

The opening track to Raveonettes' Pe'ahi album, the song is about the band's Sune Rose Wagner's near drowning in 2008. He explained to Q magazine: "The song begins by retelling the horrific story of a near-drowning surfing incident I had in Hawaii six years ago and how sometimes young lives have to take risks in order to exist. "

"This song starts out the same way as The Doors debut album," Wagner added. "The Doors are the ultimate West Coast band and an endless source of inspiration so it's only fitting we started off Pe'Ahi by paying tribute to them."

The album title refers to a place on the north shore of the island of Maui in Hawaii, which is a popular surfing spot. Speaking about the record's surf inspiration to Drowned in Sound , Sune Rose Wagner commented: "Musically there's a lot of surf guitar sounds in there. But used in very different ways to the traditional surf record sound," he said. "There's also a lot of references to surf language and beaches in the lyrics but again used in a very different context. It was a challenge to try and channel some of the inspiration I found - especially the surf history of Southern California - but not in an obvious way."

Killer in the Streets Lyrics

You're raising hell on shore
With the widows of love
A new sound from the beaches
Be quiet hear them roar
I got no secrets I got no friends
But I got a hold of you
They say you're trouble I say you're fine
I always crossed that line
Your rose-colored socks
Your sun-bleached hair
You piss me off at times
I don't really care

You drop bombs on my head
You cut me with cheap knives
Make sure I never forget
There's a riot tonight
How a raging love
Can end and no one wins
I hate your delicate smile
Like a thief in the night
With the coming of spring
I jump-start my trip
A trip to behold
A trip I should skip

You'll go first and I'll grieve
It's too much to conceive
In dreams I picture this
The USS Intrepid in the rain
You and I holding hands
While evil runs through your veins
At night they come to make you feel small
Or maybe they don't come at all
I've seen you cry I've seen it all
I've seen your downfall
Was it true or did you make it all up
I'm through I have to stop
Then out of the blue
Like a B52
You drop a bomb cuckoo
And it's over thank you

Killer in the Streets Song Chart

This Pe'ahi track is about being deceived by an alluring girl. "The song moves you along like something you want blasting on the radio as you drive through the streets of L.A. on your way to meet with destiny," Sharin Foo of The Raveonettes told Billboard magazine. "I love the idea of heartbreak being something you become contaminated with, sick from. As they say, 'Hurt people, hurt people'... and if they don't hurt others they usually break themselves. Love is indeed a dangerous game but it is also the ONE thing we can all universally relate to."

The band's Sune Rose Wagner told Q magazine this is The Ravonettes' take on Sly & The Family Stone. "A hypnotic groove which builds to a climax and then dissolves until there are only drums and vocals left," he said.

The song's music video tells a tale of some killers on the loose and their converted victims. Sharin Foo features as "the beautiful blonde" and Sune Rose Wagner as the "converted heartbreaker." Director Rie Rasmussen commented to Billboard: "They inspire storytelling from the first guitar riff, such a hypnotic piece of music!"
