Why Shallow Sleep? Many people have asked me why name is Shallow Sleep? It doesn’t seem to go with the theme of the story. It’s not angsty enough. Wouldn’t a little like that go good with a story about Vampires? And the answer id no. I find the song to be very appropriate. If any of you know it, you may know it in its original language of Japanese. Well, heres the translation, and I hope you get it now.

 

Shallow Sleep by HYDE

 

I just saw you

Beyond the course of time

A room that we once shared

But my memories a haze

Forgetting what was said

 

I gently held out my hand

And in that perfect moment

You disappeared- I lost you over again

 

In a shallow sleep I dreamt I was seeing you

Just how I remembered, brimming with tenderness

And somewhere in the calm

A feeling that nothing had ever changed

Your presence close beside me till I wake

 

I just saw you

A moment far too brief

Before the daylight came

But my heart is beating fast

Perhaps we’ll meet again

 

In a shallow sleep I dreamt I was seeing you

Just how I remembered, brimming with tenderness

And somewhere in the calm

A feeling that nothing had ever changed

Your presence close beside me till I wake

 

I see you- until I wake from a shallow sleep

 

An artist without a brush can’t paint upon a canvas

Without you here- there is no colour, a colourless landscape

 

In a shallow sleep I dreamt I was seeing you

Just how I remembered, brimming with tenderness

And somewhere in the calm

A feeling that nothing had ever changed

Your presence close beside me till I wake

 

 

I see you- shallow sleep
