Track Insight / Lyrics
(whispered, over filtered synth)
Red pill... blue pill...
Yeah... I'ma take a different one...
Morpheus in my DMs, said "the truth is gonna hurt"
Two little pills on the table, which one gets me first?
Red one shows the desert, blue one keeps the dream
But I been up since Monday, girl, I need some sleep
They talkin' 'bout the Matrix, talkin' 'bout the code
Talkin' 'bout the rabbit hole and which way it goes
But every simulation's got a bedtime, that's the rule
And honestly, the real world's kinda overrated, dude
Don't need no red, don't need no blue
I need a third option, baby, that's the move
Neo dodged the bullets — cool, I guess, alright
But I'd rather dodge my alarm clock every single night
(big, anthemic)
Red pill, blue pill — I'ma take the nap pill
Wake me when it's over, wake me when it's real
Red pill, blue pill — I'ma take the nap pill
Zion in my pillow, that's the way I feel
(nap pill... nap pill...)
Yeah, I'ma take the nap pill
They said "take the red one, you'll see how deep it goes"
Deep as my REM cycle, deep as my repose
Cypher wanted steak and he wanted to forget
That's the only character I fully respect
Neo's out here flying, saving all mankind
I'm out here in my blankets, saving peace of mind
You can keep the prophecy, you can keep the war
I'll be in the Matrix — dreamin' on the floor
Don't need no red, don't need no blue
I need a third option, baby, that's the move
They can bend the spoon, they can bend the rules
I'ma bend my schedule — nap from noon to noon
Red pill, blue pill — I'ma take the nap pill
Wake me when it's over, wake me when it's real
Red pill, blue pill — I'ma take the nap pill
Zion in my pillow, that's the way I feel
(beat drops out, just synth pad + voice)
What if I told you...
That ignorance is bliss...
And the realest thing you'll ever own...
Is a good night's sleep...?
(beat slams back in)
Red pill, blue pill — I'ma take the nap pill
Wake me when it's over, wake me when it's real
Red pill, blue pill — I'ma take the nap pill
Zion in my pillow, that's the way I feel
Red pill (red pill), blue pill (blue pill)
I'ma take the nap pill
Red pill (red pill), blue pill (blue pill)
WAKE ME WHEN IT'S REAL
(fading, yawning)
There is no spoon...
There is no alarm...
There is only... nap...
(snore ad-lib pitched down like a bass drop)
