delusional
i believed i could cure it all
for you dear
coax or trick or drive or
drag the demons from you
make it right for you sleeping beauty
truly thought
i could magically heal you
you're far beyond a visible
sign of your awakening
failing miserably to rescue
sleeping beauty
drunk on ego
truly thought i could make it right if i
kissed you one more time to
help you face the nightmare but you're
far too poisoned for me
such a fool to think that i could wake you from your slumber
that i could actually heal you
sleeping beauty
poisoned and hopeless
far beyond a visible sign of your awakening
failing miserably to find a way to comfort you
far beyond a visible sign of your awakening
hiding from some poisoned memory

What is the meaning behind Sleeping Beauty lyrics?
When we interpret the meaning being expressed, A Perfect Circle's 'Sleeping Beauty' goes deep into the theme of the futility of wiping away the troubles of a person in a very critical situation, through the metaphor of a prince kissing a dead princess to symbolize a person locked in the dark. The lyrics of the ballad mainly express sorrow, disappointment, psychological suffering, contemplation, and love. In parallel, the tune accentuates the role of dreamy hope, defeat and coming to terms with, as well as 'poisoned' and lost state. The lyrics of the song touch upon the themes of trying to rescue someone who is very hurt and alluding to 'poisoned' and 'nightmare,' which might be too much for kids. The use of language and imagery is pretty much suggestive, though not very graphic, and thus hints at a more adult theme, which could be a reason for parents’ supervision. ✔️

I lost my wife to meth, I thought if I could make her see how much I loved her, if I could just hold her and kiss her she would realize what she was doing to herself! I thought I could heal her.

I love this song. It's so sad, yet so pure and lovely. It reminds me of my girlfriend who has an eating disorder and I can't do anything to make her stop. It's hurting me, but she can't change..
I lost my wife to meth, I thought if I could make her see how much I loved her, if I could just hold her and kiss her she would realize what she was doing to herself! I thought I could heal her.
