Jenny Hval：Meaning of The Long Sleep Songmeaning

The Long Sleep by Jenny Hval is a song about patience, distance and memory. The singer addresses someone, saying that she knows who they are and that they should have patience in their living. The distance between them is vast, but she still knows who they are. She asks them to open up to her so she can pull in the night when they are ready. The line "wake from a memory" suggests that the person she is singing to may be feeling stuck in the past or weighed down by past experiences. The overall message is one of hope and encouragement to move forward and embrace the present.
