Insomnia Lyrics

I only smoke weed when I need to
And I need to get some rest, yo, where's the sex
I confess, I burnt a hole in the mattress
Yes, yes, it was me, I plead guilty

And on the count of three I pull back the duvet
Make my way to the refrigerator
One dry potato inside, no lie
Not even bread, jam

When the light above my head went bam
I can't sleep, something's all over me
Greasy, insomnia please release me
And let me dream about making mad love on the heath

Tearing off tights with my teeth
But there's no relief
I'm wide awake in my kitchen
It's black and I'm lonely
Oh, if I could only get some sleep
Creaky noises make my skin creep
I need to get some sleep
I can't get no sleep

What is the Meaning of Insomnia?

This track delves into the restless psyche of an individual haunted by insomnia. The protagonist's inability to sleep is linked to a sense of unease and dissatisfaction with life, symbolized by the empty refrigerator and the burnt mattress. The song captures the desperation for release from this state, expressed through the plea to insomnia to let them dream and find respite. The reference to 'making mad love on the heath' suggests a longing for passion and excitement that seems unattainable in their current condition. Despite being physically exhausted, they are mentally alert due to anxiety, represented by 'creaky noises' that exacerbate their loneliness and restlessness. In essence, "Insomnia" encapsulates a poignant struggle with mental distress and yearning for escape. 🌙
