When did it even start for me
I'm starving baby would you come and save me
Would it be crossing lines for me
To say I've dreamed of us eating pastries
Can I have you please
I can't see you from the lights above when you're teleporting
I can't speak cuz all the charm you cast
You drive me crazy
Come and spin me around
I swear it won't be long
I can't think I must be dreaming must be dreaming
I'll
Fall asleep forever
I'll be greedy hush hush hush baby let's
Forever
I'll be greedy hush hush hush baby let's
Fall asleep forever
I'll be greedy hush hush hush baby let's
Forever ever and ever
I'll be greedy hush hush hush baby let's
Sleep forever
I'll be greedy hush hush hush baby let's
Forever ever I love you
I'll be greedy hush hush hush baby let's
Sleep forever
I'll be greedy hush hush hush baby let's
Forever ever and ever
I'll be greedy hush hush hush
Hold up
This is a Monday
Thinking of you on my drive to work
Picking up the pieces in the morning
When I clock in
Clock in baby
Clock in
Clock in baby
Clock in
Clock in baby
Clock in
It's time to dream about me
I can't see you from the lights above when you're teleporting
I can't speak cuz all the charm you cast
You drive me crazy
Come and spin me around
I swear it won't be long
I can't think I must be dreaming must be dreaming
I'll
Fall asleep forever
I'll be greedy hush hush hush baby let's
Forever
I'll be greedy hush hush hush baby let's
Fall asleep forever

Sleep forever

Forever ever and ever
I'll be greedy hush hush hush
Forever's a big word
I used it on you
Is that too much to ask
Too much to ask
I'll see you back in
My safe haven
In my own bed
You're safe and sound
Sleep forever
Forever
Fall asleep forever
Forever ever ever
Sleep forever yeah
Forever ever ever
Sleep forever
It's a long word to use
Fall asleep forever
I'll be greedy hush hush hush baby let's

Fall asleep forever

《Asleep Forever》是独立音乐人SIENA于2022年6月1日发行的单曲，随后被收录在她于同年11月22日推出的首张概念专辑《Cloudgazing（云象）》中。这首作品的创作背景深深植根于SIENA对自我内心世界的探索与重构，作为专辑的核心曲目之一，它由SIENA本人包揽了词曲创作、编曲及制作等核心环节，展现了她极高的音乐掌控力与艺术完整性。在制作过程中，SIENA试图用绘画一样的笔触，带领听众进入一个云上的自观空间，而《Asleep Forever》正是这个绚烂、自由且充满细腻情绪空间的入口。歌曲在人声处理上特别邀请了Hurshi@SBMS Beijing进行Granular Vocals（颗粒化人声）设计，配合Heidi Wang的混音与小铭的母带处理，营造出一种如梦似幻的听觉质感，完美契合了歌曲关于梦境与现实边界的探讨。
歌曲的表达含义深刻剖析了现代都市青年在清醒与梦境之间的挣扎，以及通过沉溺梦境来逃避现实压力的心理机制。歌词开篇便直白地袒露了主角的内心状态：“我醒着，脑海里装满了杂念”，这种清醒时的焦虑感让真挚的爱意显得幼稚而轻浮，于是主角选择“闭上眼，把清醒前那一秒无限拉长”，枕着轻软的云层跌入梦境。这里的“入睡”并非单纯的生理休息，而是一种主动的心理防御机制，是对抗周一上班路上枯燥打卡、对抗现实世界光芒太耀眼让人看不清彼此面孔的无声反抗。在梦境构建的自观空间里，主角可以暂时卸下社会角色的伪装，不再需要面对“clock in”（打卡）的机械重复，而是能够贪婪地拥抱那份在现实中难以捕捉的纯粹爱意。
整首歌的情感张力集中在“贪心”与“永恒”的悖论式表达中。副歌部分反复吟唱的“I'll be greedy hush hush hush baby let's fall asleep forever”，将“贪心”这一通常带有贬义的词汇转化为对美好瞬间的极致眷恋。主角渴望将梦中与爱人一起吃点心、跳旋转舞的甜蜜时刻无限延展，甚至不惜用“永远入睡”作为代价来换取这份不被打扰的宁静。这种表达并非消极的厌世，而是在高压生活节奏下，个体对精神自由与情感归属的强烈渴求。歌词中“Forever's a big word, I used it on you”的结尾，更是将这种虚幻的永恒感落地，暗示了即便梦境终将醒来，但在那一刻许下的承诺与感受到的爱，足以成为支撑主角在周一清晨慢慢记起梦的点滴、继续面对现实生活的温柔力量。
更深层次地看，《Asleep Forever》是SIENA为当代年轻人打造的一座听觉避难所。它精准捕捉了那种“在上班路上想着你，在打卡的时候想你”的碎片化思念，以及在光芒耀眼的社交距离中“我说不了话”的失语症候群。歌曲通过营造一种微醺般的梦幻氛围，告诉听众：当现实世界的杂念让人窒息时，允许自己短暂地“掉线”，躲进云层的自观空间里贪心地睡上一觉，并不是懦弱的表现。在这场永远入睡的幻想中，我们得以重新拼凑破碎的自我，在日落前的梦境里，找回那个会因爱而痴迷、会因美而疯狂的鲜活灵魂。
