The song is based on a dream Smith would have as a child where he was eaten by a spider. The music video is very odd, featuring him in bed while figures similar to him stare from outside his window. The guitar is great in it too, very dreamy-like.
Be still, be calm, be quiet now my precious little boy. Don't struggle like that or I'll only love you more. But it's much too late to get away or turn on the light. Terrible. I tried so hard to fall back asleep but couldn't.
Which leads me to yet ANOTHER question.
Has anyone fallen back asleep and RESUMED their dream from wherever you left off? I have, but unfortunately it's usually when I have nightmares.
