Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Chris Average	#1 by Chris Dunn at Apr 11, 1975 at 6:10 PM EST
	i think the title basically has its roots in the repetition of "wake up, wake up," as if someone is pleading for their narcoleptic to come back to the world

No Picture Dave Average	#2 by Dave at Jan 29, 1984 at 2:08 AM EST
	"slip and stumble at my first offenses" as opposed to "crush and crumble under your defences" totally make it seem that he's the weaker one in the relationship. "you talk in paragraphs, i write my sentence"--- that line illustrates that he's the one with no important things to say and thus the weaker one; the one who's tired of the seriousness and wants to dream with her. then Bribri's voice rises as he sings, "you better keep it in check or you'll end up a wreck and you'll never wake up", which sounds like the stronger spouse telling the narcoleptic 'i told you so'.

No Picture Spymaster Lead Player	#3 by Spymaster - Halo 2 at Sep 1, 1984 at 8:32 PM EST
	Anyone else see how the lyrics relate to the Lord of the Flies? 'Place for us to dream' - the idea of a paradise 'Slip and stumble at my first offenses' - descent in savargery etc. I dunno

No Picture Rob Wanna Be	#4 by Rob Goode at Jan 3, 1990 at 12:20 AM EST
	I like the Lord of the Flies interpretation because it is unique and I can see where you are coming from. I'm currently reading the book. Its great.

No Picture ...I think I'm Wanna Be	#5 by ...I think I'm addicted to ritalin... at Apr 4, 1991 at 10:12 AM EST
	This song is really good to go to sleep to.. its amazing. Its very soft and subtle so to speak.. Its unlike their other songs. Brian's voice is amazing on the track. Its like silk. Its wonderful. One of my fave placebo songs, but my favourite is peeping tom. Listen to it..

No Picture Bass Rhythm Player	#6 by Bass Master Kid at Apr 13, 1993 at 6:28 PM EST
	I love the way Brian just slips "Love can die" at the end of the second verse. It seems slightly out of context when taking the song as just being about a narcolepcy, buts successfuly adds a new depth and meaning to the song.

No Picture Dave Wanna Be	#7 by Dave at Feb 15, 2001 at 9:19 AM EST
	Just an opinion, but the song to me is not so much about narcolepsy but being in a relationship where there is no longer any love. Where the original feelings, hopes and ideas are no longer there. The narcolepsy term is just a euphamism for being asleep or oblivious to the factthere is nothing there any more. Just my interpretation. Great song, very sad.

No Picture Samuele Wanna Be	#8 by Samuele at Feb 19, 2001 at 6:28 PM EST
	I LOVE this song. I think it's one of their best songs ever. There's not a lot of buzz around it, but i think it's just fantastic! There is this eerie yet peaceful vibe to it, along with his breathtaking voice...it's like a nice wave to the brain, and I feel like i am gonna float away every time i hear this song...My favorite part is when he sings: "You'd better keep it in check Or you'll end up a wreck And you'll never wake up" Just beautiful...it's amazing, how Placebo took a sleep disorder, and made it seem so heavenly!

No Picture Dylan Average	#9 by Dylan Enis at Dec 17, 2005 at 11:18 AM EST
	it seemed a place for us to dream would relate to being Narcoleptic, because it causes you to go into deep sleeps also "You'd better keep it in check Or you'll end up a wreck And you'll never wake up You'd better keep it in check Or you'll end up a wreck And you'll never wake up Wake up x3 " also refers to being Narcoleptic because you can become paralyzed and never wake up. If you dont keep in check with what youre doing you can become paralyzed and since it causes hullusionasions it would be easier to get caught up in it. Then again, Im not positive.
