Asleep Lyrics

Sing me to sleep
Sing me to sleep
I’m tired and i
I want to go to bed

Sing me to sleep
Sing me to sleep
And then leave me alone
Don’t try to wake me in the morning
’cause I will be gone
Don’t feel bad for me
I want you to know
Deep...

    I agree that this song is about suicide. Perhaps it's about euthanization as well, with the lyric "Sing me to sleep."

    Well its kind of obvious. It's about embracing death. "Don’t try to wake me in the morning cause I will be gone"
    I think it was inspired by Keats.
