I believe Em recognized this error in the past and has at least once corrected the line for a live performance.


how do you even correct that for one?

and also, even tho you hope someone can't sleep they will still sleep so they can dream about it then.

i probably sound like a dick and i dont mean to sound that way im only curious cause i have never thought about that line...which i understand why in a sense it doesn't make sense...but also didnt know he has correct it at performances, which i still do not understand how you correct it :sweating:

I hope your conscience eats at you and you can't breathe without me


These are two very confusing lines - to the point that Em changed the first one to “I hope you go to sleep and you dream about it” for the Elton John version. The fact that the two lines seem to contradict each other shows how insane Stan’s become. Really though, it makes sense if you think about it a little bit, and take the third line into account: Stan hopes that Em fantasizes so much about the life he could’ve had with Stan that Em can’t sleep.

i remembered the elton version when i posted, but i still don't fully get why its a big deal. it doesnt make sense on paper but does in reality. but the whole "it shows how insane stan is getting" point also makes sense. which is why i dont see a problem either way.

I don't see that as a flaw at all.

''çan't sleep'' is used by basically everybody as a metaphor. It doesn't mean you LITERALLY have ZERO sleep, it means you have a troubled sleep... you wake up on and off, you don't get full hours etc.

So saying you can't sleep and dream about... = yeah, you ''can't sleep'' (comfortably and smoothly) BECAUSE you're dreaming about it. The bad dream/nightmare is disrupting what would otherwise be a peaceful, full night's sleep. That's how it sounds to me and I don't see a conflict in that language.

We use metaphors in almost every single line of our dialogue... ''blowing off steam'', ''it was a nightmare'', ''it was the worst'', ''battled through it''...

Singin' "Bagpipes from Baghdad" again
In my dad's drag draggin' a faggot in a Glad bag
Won't be the last time I make a dramatic entrance like that again
You thought I was lyin' when I said I think that I'm crossin' the line again
I've lost my mind, caution oh God I think I've just thought of another fucking line
Forgive me father, for I have sinned
But hip hop has left me brainwashed with a violent streak
