Sleeping At Last - Hold Still Lyrics






Why is it impossible now
To trace every echo
Back to its birth?
Why is it impossible now
To kiss every fever away?

There is truth that's hiding
Behind every wall that surrounds us.
It takes a lifetime
To pull the bricks away.

Why is it impossible now to know?
(Is this the way to understand?)

With the weakest of ears
We'll try only to hear
The sound of our voice,
Louder than fear of waking up
Alone.

Let conversations carry
The unraveling of skin.
The ink will pour an answer
In children's handwriting.

If all words are cameras,
Hold still.
Shutters slide to unveil
Fingerprints of angels
And a language made of film.

With surgical precision,
We'll cut every piece into order.
And beneath soft faces,
We'll climb halfway to God.

Why is it impossible now to know?
(Is this the way to understand?)
Why is it impossible now
To trace every echo
Back to it's birth?

Sleeping At Last Hold Still Comments
  1. l.... d....

    ¿Por qué es imposible ahora
    Para rastrear cada eco
    Volver a su nacimiento?
    ¿Por qué es imposible ahora
    Para besar cada fiebre de distancia?

    No es verdad que se esconde
    Detrás de cada pared que nos rodea.
    Lleva toda la vida
    Para sacar los ladrillos de distancia.

    ¿Por qué es imposible ahora saber?
    (¿Es esta la forma de entender?)

    Con la más débil de las orejas
    Vamos a tratar sólo para escuchar
    El sonido de nuestra voz,
    Más fuerte que el miedo de despertar
    Sola.

    Deje conversaciones llevan
    El desenlace de la piel.
    La tinta derramará una respuesta
    En la escritura de los niños.

    Si todas las palabras son las cámaras,
    Quédate quieto.
    Persianas deslizan para revelar
    Las huellas dactilares de los ángeles
    Y una lengua hecha de película.

    Con precisión quirúrgica,
    Vamos a cortar todas las piezas en orden.
    Y debajo de rostros suaves,
    Subiremos a medio camino de Dios.

    ¿Por qué es imposible ahora saber?
    (¿Es esta la forma de entender?)
    ¿Por qué es imposible ahora
    Para rastrear cada eco
    Volver a él es nacimiento?

    This is weird. I discovered this band way back in 2007 or 08 and I remember being fond of this song. I listened to it through some sad times. The intro still blows me away. Later I lost track of the band. Now I come accross them on YT and suddenly they are famous for some soundtracks... For me this band and this song will always have a much deeper meaning than the soundtracks which they are famous for.

  3. C.... R....

    This song really helped me through my depression. It was those songs that you would cry through listening.

    C.... R....

    Omg same

  4. 4.... ....

    twilight just fuck it all up. all the good tunes they played on those stupid ass movies

  5. I.... Q....

    i found sleeping at last through sytycd, and I got so happy when turning page was in twilight. I thought finally more people will hear this wonderful band

  6. J.... J....

    can't get enough of their songs.

  7. Y.... ....

    I have seen Twilight and New Moon around 2010, when I was 14 years old. I found the films pretty bad, just like the music they used. When I was a little older, around sixteen, I started to develop my music taste. I discovered Coldplay (the old songs), Muse, Radiohead, and  smaller bands like Sleeping at Last, without ever thinking about twilight.
    Then, I watched Twilight again. And I listened to the "bad songs they use".  And I was flabbergasted that all those songs were now in my 'favourites' playlist.
    (The moral of this story:  don't judge songs by the bad films they're wrongly used in.)

  8. S.... ....

    I know a lot of people don't like others who found it through twilight but they had to discover tem through some kind of media. they do songs for greys anatomy, bones and more. I wouldn't be telling the truth if I said I didn't find it through twilight but I did listen to more of their songs. the only people that bug me (in MY opinion) is the ones that ONLY like turning page and haven't listened to others.

    S.... ....

    I agree...

  9. J.... A....

    This song is everything to me :3 my youtube my username was inspired by the song <3

  10. M.... C....

    Beautiful.(both the song and the album cover....)

  11. J.... K....

    Turning page?? perhaps?

  12. K.... A....

    Why can't I express my feeling whenever I hear this song!

  13. G.... ....

    Something something, twilight. Something something, complete.

  14. R.... H....

    On my channel I have the lyrics!!!

  15. L.... ....

    Basically All of his songs is like a drug to me. I'm addicted and obsessed and I just can't get enough of them. literally the BEST band to ever exist to me!

  16. S.... R....

    Found this band from Kid President.

  17. m.... m....

    Fuck twilight ;)

  18. v.... ....

    Beautiful.

  19. S.... G....

    First Listen. Mind: Blown.

  20. I.... K....

    I agree that twilight doesn't deserve to have music like this in it, but at least more people have become fans because they heard turning page in twilight, which in turn supports sleeping at last.

  21. M.... ....

    Its a massive shame that the majority of people found this amazing band through Twilight, people should find Twilight through this band, its fucking awesome.

  22. R.... H....

    why must all of their lyrics speek the truth and touch all of the emotional parts inside of me?

  23. C.... ....

    Too right.

  24. M.... A....

    Recently, saw Sleeping at Last live with Jars of Clay and I must say that I am a fan now... SAL is awesome. How did I live without it... I dunno

  25. N.... T....

    see, this is the SAL that i miss. before all the members quit, before they got fame-ruined by twilight. not trying to disrespect, but their new music in my opinion is just awful. i wish it still sounded like this

  26. R.... L....

    Twilight .3

  27. e.... ....

    I mean who cares how! Sorry :)

  28. e.... ....

    I agree who cares that I found them, just glad I did. :)

  29. C.... W....

    This song.. was an answer to a prayer I had, one night when things were getting really crazy with my girlfriend. I'm not giving up on her, no matter what.

  30. i.... ....

    I don't care how I found them, I'm just glad I did.

  31. L.... ....

    They just awlays put a smile on my face :)

  32. M.... ....

    Man I am so in love with this girl i can't stop thinking about her sleeping at last always remaind me of her.

  33. 9.... ....

    0 dislikes needa stay like that

  34. n.... ....

    found this band from twilight lol

  35. S.... F....

    His voice has the perfect amount of hoarseness. I like this a lottt.

  36. B.... ....

    this is amazing :)

  37. K.... D....

    There are so many peices of music out there. But while I was listening to the angel's beautiful voice and his gft of words on "Hold Still", I knew that the voice and words came directly from OUR Omnipotent Being and just happened to land within the voices of this band. Angels. Thanks Sleeping At Last, Karen in Vegas ;)
