A random idea

bonespirit · 12-13-2014, 04:14 PM

So here's a random snippet of lyrics my brain just came up with:

Narcoleptic beauty
When she sleeps, she
Kills in the elephant in the room
Fall on your lungs
Why don't you bleed?

So what do people think?

Why "narcoleptic beauty"? Explain to me a little bit about the meaning behind those lyrics, as I can't quite figure it out.

Hi, the meaning of the phrase 'narcoleptic beauty' is like, ok, how can I explain this... Being narcoleptic, it feels like you're constantly switching from asleep to awake. So if you take awake to be beautiful, then asleep is ugly, so it's the idea that someone can switch quickly between being beautiful and ugly. Not in the physical sense, but like switching between a nice person and a not nice one..? Hope that makes sense.

I do understand what you're trying to say, which is a beautiful meaning. But I don't think you can express that in that phrase, because mostly no one is going to understand what's the meaning behind it.

Why "Kills in the elephant in the room"? I just can't understand the overall meaning of this verse.

people typically do not consider 'asleep' to be ugly. you might want to try a word like 'sporadic,' 'intermittent,' or even 'temporary.' something that captures the 'off/on' feeling.
