About Past Won't Leave My Bed

“Past Won’t Leave My Bed” is the third single from Joji’s fourth studio record, Piss In The Wind. The lyrics see Joji personifying sleeping in reference to how mythologies personify Death, simply because he yearns for the death of himself. Despite such, he acknowledges how he should go on living, which therefore leaves Sleep to linger as a constant reminder of the past. The song is also lyrically similar to “Window” from Joji’s debut EP, In Tongues, which also speaks of death through sleep: .

Past Won't Leave My Bed Lyrics

[00:09.69]This room could be haunted
[00:12.90]A vision to the blind
[00:16.07]Wishing sleep held me in her arms
[00:19.49]Forever
[00:23.23]
[00:23.25]Shadows dance around
[00:26.37]Perfectly blurring up the lines
[00:30.13]Hallucinations start to intertwine
[00:34.99]
[00:34.99]I open my eyes
[00:42.23]Her face lingers on the wall
[00:48.58]She's stuck on rewind in my mind
[00:55.99]I try to move on, but the past won't leave my bed
[01:04.71]
[01:04.71]I hear it all the time
[01:07.08]Like the wind between the chimes
[01:11.38]Holding on to what we had together
[01:18.03]A single note of my persistent, hopeless lullabies
[01:24.94]I know that I can't sleep forever
[01:29.87]
[01:29.87]I open my eyes
[01:37.15]Her face lingers on the wall
[01:43.47]She's stuck on rewind in my mind
[01:50.92]I try to move on, but the past won't leave my bed
[01:57.28]
[01:57.28]I open my eyes
[02:04.61]Her face lingers on the wall
[02:10.84]She's stuck on rewind in my mind
[02:18.30]I try to move on, but the past won't leave my bed
