Wolfe, Chelsea - Halfsleeper Lyrics






All the parts of me that lived inside
Are drowning in the sea of waking life
They don't know their colors don't belong on the outside
They don't know their colors don't belong

Until they're spread across the open road
Til they're spread across the asphalt on the open road
Til they're streaming in the wind like cassette tape or jellyfish
Long dark veins and records playing memories

All the things we yelled don't mean a thing
When we're spinning out on dark and metal wind
When we're flying like blue mary's angels through shattered glass
When we find the tall black shadow waiting there with outstretched hands

He has given me a dress of red and you a skin of gray
We'll be twisting here for hours til the light will give us day

We're spread across the open road
And we're spread across the asphalt on the open road
And we're streaming in the wind like cassette tape or jellyfish
Long dark veins and records playing memories

Wolfe, Chelsea Halfsleeper Comments
  1. U.... ....

    Voice of an angel, face of a meth head

    She's 1 in a million! Her voice.... out of this world!

  4. A.... S....

    She is perfect

  5. E.... B....

    She's one of the most phenomenal contemporary artists.

    That there? That's the loss of hope you're feeling. Remember it and carry on anyway.

  11. P.... ....

    If someone else can think of a song of which this reminds them, please let me know. It’s going to drive me INSANE, because I can hear the voice and know what the words SOUND LIKE but don’t know what the actual words are. It wasn’t anything obscure, maybe a song that came out within the past seven years or so. Might have even been a Top 40 song. EDIT: OK, I’ve been thinking about it for hours, and it’s the part when she FIRST begins to sing, reminds me of the beginning of Cheerleader by St. Vincent. And it came out 7 years ago, ha.

  12. V.... M....

    She brings me to tears with her soft, lyrical voice...

  13. E.... A....

    Ouvi o disco The grime and the glow no spotify,muito bom!

  14. C.... M....

    The last female artist that swept me away with her voice and writing before Chelsea Wolfe was Hope Sandoval.

  15. T.... ....

    Her music is a spiritual experience. It's like she's channeling my own inner anguish and exorcising it in verse and melody.

  16. T.... S....

    So impressive to see how many people experience this awesome performance :) I like this when have one thousand views and now is more than a half million! Usually these days humble heartful music do not get this support and audience

  60. S.... K....

    A story of a couple who have gone through hard times and who’s lives come to a tragic end in a car accident.

  61. T.... ....

    this woman is brilliant!!!! just discovered her music and I've enjoyed every second of every song! this particular piece is very comforting and makes me feel "Want"... if any one knows what I mean... it's entrancing... warm... and feels like a gentle drop... like i'm falling in quickly but gently. I LOVE IT!!!

  62. M.... 7....

    I Love This woman, music that stirs the soul. True definition of an artist

  63. D.... G....

    Mouring my life and this is the soundtrack (I'm so dramatic lol)

  64. S.... V....

    Have you any knowledge of where this was played? I happen to wonder which places play this kind of music, and which events I should pay more attention to.

    Thank you, this was good. Very.

  65. P.... C....

    Came for Heike Langhans incredible rendition

  66. C.... B....

    This recording is amazing with just her and a guitar. Its so hard to get an idea in her videos of how good she is live... The band.. Is so doooom and gloom. I have watched so many recordings and .. Just gutta be there..

  67. H.... M....

    woah, holy goose pimples! so hauntingly beautiful!

  68. s.... p....

    I absolutely love this particular recording of Half sleeper. It’s so honest, eerie and thought provoking . Chelsea can somehow make the violence of a car accident beautiful in an unnerving way. I love the gentle, yet complete absence of safety here that isn’t lost in a sea of voices which makes this recording more personal. I hope this version ends up on an album some day because it is amazing.

  69. P.... W....

    I feel her voice in my soul, her voice is so divine and haunting.

  70. J.... F....

    I accidentally had this song playing slightly out of sync on two tabs. Only made it make me shiver harder,

  71. x.... ....

    I would have given Chelsea the role of the anonymous bar singer in True Detective Season 2.

  72. e.... m....

    if you love this, also check out promise and the monster, guarantee you won't be disappointed.

  73. L.... L....

    Fantastic.

  74. R.... ....

    what have I found here?? I was just letting youtube play music... then this started playing and I felt leveled. I am a person who is moved by music. All sorts of music from all cultures and styles. And generally if a song makes me feel something inside... whether it be anger, sadness, arousal or liberation, jubilation, it sticks with me. I was just listening to music, feeling sensations it gives and this started playing... I can honestly say that there is very few musicians that can deal the 'haunted' card in their music. But she did it. This song was clicking something in me that I haven't felt in a long time. It was almost like her music woke that little bit of me up. I can tell you... I don't know or cannot exactly pinpoint what her music does to me, but she has found another fan! My god she is wonderful!

    R.... ....

    beautiful

    R.... ....

    I used to think there would never be anyone who could quite deliver like Hope Sandoval. Chelsea Wolfe has exceeded my expectations!

  75. S.... F....

    God that was from the heart.. I wept

  76. U.... 7....

    the goddess of eternal nightscape has arrived

  77. E.... F....

    focking love you.

  78. D.... E....

    I want to hear and see Diamanda Galas and Chelsea Wolfe singing together.

  79. S.... O....

    She's brilliant. Saw her play a few years back and now seeing her again in April, can't wait.

  80. C.... M....

    Where was she all my life? This is surreal.

  81. I.... d....

    one of her best songs, a work of art...

  82. W.... O....

    She has the most breathtaking voice I've ever heard.

  83. E.... S....

    All the parts of me that lived inside
    Are drowning in the sea of waking life
    They don't know their colors don't belong on the outside
    They don't know their colors don't belong

    Until they're spread across the open road
    Til they're spread across the asphalt on the open road
    Til they're streaming in the wind like cassette tape or jellyfish
    Long dark veins and records playing memories

    All the things we yelled don't mean a thing
    When we're spinning out on dark and metal wind
    When we're flying like blue mary's angels through shattered glass
    When we find the tall black shadow waiting there with outstretched hands

    He has given me a dress of red and you a skin of gray
    We'll be twisting here for hours til the light will give us day

    We're spread across the open road
    And we're spread across the asphalt on the open road
    And we're streaming in the wind like cassette tape or jellyfish
    Long dark veins and records playing memories

  84. V.... A....

    shes the best for sure

  85. T.... D....

    How're there 40 dislikes?

  86. s.... m....

    she should duet with pravus mourn (s.o.m.is a classic) haunting from somewhere else it makes you lose your mind and spiritually takes over luv the way she twangs her b string

  87. X.... ....

    I prefer the electric guitar for this song myself, but it's the voice really isn't it...

  88. F.... ....

    Absolutely incredible.

  89. D.... A....

    How beautiful....

  90. T.... ....

    Miło się słucha/ogląda :) i to nie raz :).

  91. W.... P....

    Her Flagship! I keep coming back. But it is painful at the same time. Probably the best natural voice out there. I cry a bit every time. This time too.. dammit!

  92. 3.... ....

    ⛤Beautiful Scorpio ⛤
    Her music like her soul is honest and timeless. I find solace within the times of listening. Thank you Chelsea for sharing what's within you.

  93. T.... ....

    man, her acoustic stuff is so much better than her gothy album style production. despite the audio quality being poop here, she still sounds better than her album stuff. Maybe it's too over produced.

    T.... ....

    its not that i hate new albums but grime and glow was best album

    T.... ....

    Another arm chair production "expert" mouthing off without a clue...

  94. b.... ....

    For me she is a siren. She can control me with her voice...
