Chevelle - Sleep Walking Elite Lyrics






Rushed and told
They're bred to continue
Be at their marks
But some withhold
And won't be held
Under the spell

Bribes when tried
They've focused on the balling
Of a man 'til now
Got left inside the underbelly's choke

Well, you assumed
At least they'll call us men again
For those shadows
That keep on crawling
Out from under cloaks

Behold rest assured
The sleep-walking elite
When their days
Are numbered like the shallow
When they sit
On their knees
On their knees
On their knees
As they sit
On their knees
On their knees
On their knees

And you assumed
At least they'll call us men again
For those shadows
That keep on crawling
Out from under cloaks

Cloaks

Well, you assumed
At least they'll call us men again
For those shadows
That keep on crawling
Out from under

Well, you assumed
At least they'll call us men again
For those shadows
That keep on crawling
Out from under...

    Cam had better already be dead

  2. S.... N....

    Hey, Chevelle, I am going to be using that same song as you guys in my band but in a different album with same and different lyrics and that song is called... You don't wanna know but, i tell it later.

  3. y.... b....

    i listened to this album when i played state of decay 2 and i can just see the nighttime setting from the game

  4. G.... G....

    This song hits harder than my moms flip flop on report card day😂

  5. K.... e....

    these guys never lost their magic

  6. M.... R....

    Favorite song from the whole album...and it was a bonus track. So much talent!!!

  7. D.... D....

    Quit with the Tool comparisons, Chevelle have established their own sound already. Maynard is in a class all by himself.

  8. R.... S....

    This was uploaded on my 18th birthday, I feel lucky

  9. C.... J....

    Beautiful voice

  10. A.... ....

    This song is so clever musically. It entertains my brain. So driving and takes directions with the tempo and riff that are unexpected for an average "rock" song. And the lyrics are full of the pain that we carry in us an unquenchable longing to be recognized as "men," or in other words, valued in our identity. We are tempted to sell ourselves short and have a liar tell it to us, but in doing so, we forfeit being actual "men."

  11. C.... H....

    I saw a concert of yours not to long ago with three days grace and breaking Ben and it rocked but I was a little sad when you didnt play my fav song. #sleepwalkingelite

  12. R.... ....

    I never heard this one (although I was aware of it) until I got this album in the mail. I genuinely think this is my all time favorite chevelle song now it's so fucking good.

  13. B.... L....

    Yeah like Specturm octaves

    Easily my favorite rock band!

  23. J.... R....

    Love me some Chevelle.

  24. r.... c....

    is funny how in almost every video there is a comment saying they are so underrated, maybe they're right...but who cares if you really enjoy this great band!

  25. G.... P....

    So much music has come and gone over the years yet... Chevelle remains the same; simply amazing!

  26. S.... ....

    🙌🏼

  27. T.... H....

    Why was this a bonus track? This was the best song in Vena Sera.

  28. K.... H....

    I love this band.

  29. J.... H....

    love this band one of my all time favorites can't wait to see you in July at dte

  30. J.... A....

    ¡Soy el comentario en español que estabas buscando!

  31. D.... D....

    Was just out and saw "Face to the Floor" and was like "Huh not really checked Chevelle for new stuff in ages. Wonder if they did anything." **Que ears being blown out with a smile on my face** LOVE THE NEW SOUND!

  32. N.... ....

    Rushed and told
    Their bred to continue
    Be at their marks

    But some withhold
    And wont be held

    Bribed, When tried
    They focused on the burning
    Of a man till now
    Got left inside underbelly's choke

    Well you assumed
    At least they'll call us
    Men again

    For all shadows
    Let's keep on crawling
    Out from under cloaks

    Behold, Rest assured

    CLOAKS!

    Well you assumed

  33. B.... B....

    Love this song....Love Chevelle !!!

  34. C.... F....

    Bad ass song like the fat ass sound good work

  35. i.... ....

    I didnt care for this song as much as previous Chevelle music when it was dropped; 4 listens later and I'm hooked. The message in this tune is more relevant than ever I think.

  36. C.... ....

    This was always one of my favorite Chevelle songs. Classic style for them, great melodies and production. 🤘😝🤘

  37. :.... T....

    Chevelle needs to open for TOOL. I'd and we'd all be blessed to see that.

  38. T.... o....

    Their writing is absolutely brilliant. By miring their lyrics in ambiguity and metaphor, they can deliver incredible messages without offending the sensibilities of their more judgmental listeners, because most people don't pay much attention to the messages hidden within. That's how you can appeal simultaneously to fans who love the lyrical content, and the fans who are just here for the music. Well done guys. Incredible song!

  39. r.... j....

    yessssssss Chevelle is awesome. some bands go bad with age ,but not chevelle.

  40. D.... W....

    This is the Chevelle I love and recognize.

  41. N.... L....

    I’m not what most people consider the embodiment of a real man but i am. Sorry I don’t go around flirting with dudes and shit like a bully does

  42. N.... L....

    I would really like to sit down and just get everything on record from there I don’t care but I just want my perspective to be made public and they can do the rest from there

  43. N.... L....

    I wonder if they know anything about black holes they’re not telling us in he sense that they are gateways to he first dimension and get their properties from the translation of both dimensions into eachother

  44. N.... L....

    Even if that dimension existed it would be impossible in itself to be able to make it over there and back

  45. N.... L....

    If you could move across a third dimension separate than the first of 0.0 repeating having an absolute value of infinite and our dimension and then return to this dimension is the only way to travel past speeds thought unhuman

  46. N.... L....

    That’s how bad I embarrassed them

  47. N.... L....

    You like how they had to sink me to be called men again

  48. N.... L....

    You like how I bring up Roswell the other day and then just come up with the a lee n tonight it’s almost like the original thought was setting me up or a precursor

  49. N.... L....

    I apply everything to myself out of survival instinct at this point but like I said yesterday if the message below is supposed to be directed towards me it’s not outsmarting me because you have incredible resources and planning that called having the upper hand it’s really ignorant and stupid shit like that that’s been getting to me the last few days you act like I didn’t just say that yesterday it doesn’t make sense

  50. N.... L....

    You saw the messages about the sinkholes . I’m pretty sure they’re tunnelling

  51. A.... S....

    One of the many powerful Chevelle hits!

  52. J.... M....

    I'm a fan of this band

  53. B.... F....

    I love Chevelle and favorite songs from them are vitamin r,the clincher,send the pain below,I get,still running,etc.

  54. N.... K....

    Hey I just did a cover of this song! If you feel like it, check out my version on my channel :)

  55. C.... M....

  63. S.... O....

    Sleep America!
    It's the American Dream.......

    S.... O....

    I've never heard of the African dream...
    Or European Dream...
    I've seen the American dream and it needs new pillows and mattresses....

    S.... O....

    Jason Jobb your comment makes mine any less valid how?

    S.... O....

    Can only comment on Americans.....mate!
    I cant worry about other's shite...

    S.... O....

    Jason Jobb based on your slang, the American dream is “other’s shite.” I’m not attacking you, I’m just curious. Why America, when the world has more or less the same problem?

    S.... O....

    I could care less about the whirled....
    People are told that there is an American Dream....
    You only dream when asleep...
    You daydream when awake
    Stay woke....

  64. M.... E....

    Pete Loeffler has one of if not the most underrated alternative/rock voices of all time

  65. S.... N....

    Noiyce!

  66. J.... N....

    I was listening to this but had to come here to say thank you guys for keeping true to your music.

  67. A.... J....

    The riff sort of reminds me of the one right before the outro to Tool's Lateralus

  68. R.... A....

    Finally! I been wanting old Chevelle feelings for awhile!!

  69. J.... S....

  73. A.... M....

    Chevelle is the GOAT

  74. B.... L....

    Chevelle and Seether are the 2 best alt metal bands when they perform live, it’s not even close.
    Breaking Benjamin is also amazing. 10 years too.

  75. R.... ....

    one of the best album... he never change his style nice one

  76. L.... S....

    Wanna see you guys live!

  77. J.... L....

    dont get me wrong i love chevelle but i dont understand why these songs are being put into a "new album" when they are just old songs from other albums before? unless this is just hyping up their new one coming soon

  78. A.... C....

    One of my favorites. Brings back so many memories.

  79. o.... b....

    Im hearing tool?

  80. L.... ....

    Amazing amazing amazing..!!! I have been listening to Chevelle since my youth. I LOVE YOU CHEVELLE!! ❤️❤️

  81. J.... W....

    So Chevelle and old 30 Seconds to Mars had a kid?

  82. A.... F....

    God damnit Chevelle...how?....how have you done it?? Every time the curve is re-invented, you guys remain a mile ahead with a style that's fresh.

  83. B.... S....

    This is absolutely sick, I love it! Can't wait for the new album and when you guys coming back to Milwaukee!?

  84. A.... O....

    I wish they go back to this heavy, groovy yet melodic approach, i miss it a lot.

  85. A.... A....

    is not new for me, this song is one of my favs of vena
    sera

  86. E.... R....

    Are they coming with a new album anytime soon ?

    E.... R....

    Erik Reyes theyre working on it yeah

  87. L.... H....

    OHH and the first song on the Album is A Miracle, my fave song so far and not on Spotify. Your bonus songs are sometimes the best on the entire Album ;)

  88. B.... A....

    Tool already done it 100 times better...

  89. D.... M....

    This is so disappointing. Chevelle have been my favourite band for years and some of these tracks are up there with the best, but I've been listening to all of them for years. We've been promised a new album since December 2016, and nearly 2 years later all we get is a collection of b-sides that we've been listening to for years. And the band couldn't even be bothered to re-record them for better production and sound quality, to make purchasing the same songs again worth it.

    And no UK tour since 2014 :(

    - A disappointed fan with all the albums, 3 shirts, 2 guitar picks, a drum stick and my name printed in La Gargola :(

  90. D.... V....

    Is this a New Album???

  91. T.... H....

    Loving the new songs.

  92. K.... F....

    Chevelle can't do much wrong to me. One of those rare bands where I can listen to an ENTIRE album and like every song. Love them! 🤘🏼

  93. 6.... ....

    COOOOOOL!!!!!!!!!!!

  94. M.... M....

    CheVelle is my favorite band of all time. Not cuz they're my friend's uncles (need to point that out to make my point) but because they are just so perfect with everything they do

  95. M.... M....

    And from slumber the great beast arises!

  96. C.... C....

    ISSO QUE É ROCK ❤❤❤❤

  97. t.... i....

    CheVelle!!!!! I've been patiently waiting...

  98. T.... W....

    Already pre-ordered the album, can't wait!

  99. P.... S....

    Respect:)
