Comment

The song’s totally American. The author wants that people know it .
So he writes words like : “ Kinda” that means Kind of . This expression is typically American. The author talks about the period of adolescence of a guy and likes to accentuate what the boy thinks about his dreams. Gary Jules talks about it with a poetic accent writin’ phrases like: “The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had”. The guy in this song wants to sleep ‘cause when you sleep you can have a dream and you can rest. But, the boy, doesn’t want to talk about sleeping, but wants to talk about death: The Infinite Rest after life. “I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take” these last phrases are meaning that adolescents usually don’t talk at all with their parents or hardly with their friends. I really like this song and I know that it is so famous that a director : “Richard Kelly” did a film named “Donnie Darko” and introduced this song.
