If only tonight we could sleep / in a bed made of flowers / if only tonight we could fall / in a deathless spell / if only tonight we could slide / into deep black water / and breathe / and breathe. In ‘if only tonight we could sleep’, the ‘deep black water’ suggests an abyss that one might willingly plunge into, a baptism into the unknown It’s smith’s poetic embrace of the uncertain depths where one can ‘breathe’ away from the cacophony of daily struggles. The song if only tonight we could sleep by the cure delves into themes of escapism, longing, and the desire for eternal love and release from the hardships of life.
