"Where Did You Sleep Last Night" feels like a recurring dream I can't wake up from.
It's the confrontation that never took place. Ten years later, I found myself replaying the same memories until they started to reveal a completely different story.
Built around haunting melodies, atmospheric textures, and a slow-burning build, the song explores the moment everything I thought I knew came crumbling down. It's about reliving the past, asking the questions that were never asked, and realizing the truth long after it was too late.
Where did you sleep last night?
Lyrics
I don't wanna know about it
I don't even wanna hear about it
Your promises faded like a candle in the wind
In the middle of the night
You're poisonous like a snake
Waiting to devour my heart
Don't come any closer
I don't wanna feel you near me
Ooh how you fooled me into thinking
That you and me could really be an item
You tell me sweet things just to mess me up
Ooh I feel your hands on my body
You whisper just to get me excited but
Answer one question for me
Baby, where did you sleep last night
Baby, where did you sleep last night
I love the way you try to manipulate me
Just to keep me thinking that I
Was really at fault
Your eyes, they always seem to hypnotize
I drown every time you kiss me
Just to make things OK
Ooh how you fooled me into thinking
That you and me could really be an item
You tell me sweet things just to mess me up
Ooh I feel your hands on my body
You whisper just to get me excited but
Answer one question for me
Baby, where did you sleep last night
Baby, where did you sleep last night
Ooh how you fooled me into thinking
That you and me could really be an item
You tell me sweet things just to mess me up
Oh yeah
Ooh I feel your hands on my body
You whisper just to get me excited but
Answer one question for me
Yeah, baby, where did you sleep last night
Ooh, Ooh
Yeah, baby, where did you sleep last night
