Cat Power - the sleepwalker

노래는 물속에서 들리는 소리와 잃어버린 집을 찾으려는 주인공의 노력, 그리고 그 과정에서 마주하는 고독과 상실감을 표현한다
주인공은 세상의 차가움과 불확실함 속에서 자신을 찾으려 하며, 과거의 기억과 현재의 괴로움이 얽혀 있다
궁극적으로 이 노래는 인간의 고뇌와 삶의 무게를 담아내며, 회복의 길이 보이지 않는 데 대한 체념을 담고 있다

I can hear - voices in the water
Coming up like - smoke brings the wind
I have to take some time - to relocate that house of mine
I think I must of lost it in the river
They see things so different
To green eyes they give nothing away
Do you think now at last
You can tell me
No you won't - give it away
Crush snow on my face
Feels like burning
And the birds blackface singing in the tree
If I got myself a gun
Then I could shoot down every one
Maybe I've just invented some religion
I saw father dancing with his daughter
And the music singing softly on the breeze
I can't see an end - salvation anywhere
Think I'll wait here till the cows come down the river
Think I'll wait here till the cows come down the river
You've heard all this before
Already I know
A lost soul - I won't say anymore
