I'm Not Tired
Insomniac Revelry: Embracing the Night's Unrest with All Day Sucker
Lyrics
I wake up from a lack of sleep
The speaker wakes up despite not having had enough sleep.
Starving, bargaining, the sparks discharging and
Feeling intensely hungry, negotiating, while experiencing bursts of energy.
My mind is turning tricks on me just like the ladies leaning in Mercedes
The speaker's mind plays tricks on them, comparing it to the allure of women in luxury cars.
And everybody tells me that I better get to bed right now but I'm not tired
Despite advice, the speaker isn't tired and refuses to sleep.
And everybody tells me that I oughta put my head down but I'm not tired
Others suggest the speaker should rest, but they still don't feel sleepy.
And everybody tells me that I gotta go to sleep right now but I'm not tired
There's pressure to sleep, but the speaker remains wide awake.
No, I'm not tired
Reiterating that the speaker isn't feeling tired at all.
I haunt the night, a poltergeist as bold and frank as a broad daylight bank heist
The speaker is compared to a bold and daring ghost, unseen but present.
Too ghostly tan to go outside I want to taunt and excite the zeitgeist
Feeling too ghostly to be seen outside, desiring to provoke and interest the current spirit of the times.
And everybody tells me that I better get to bed right now but I'm not tired
Despite warnings, the speaker remains wide awake.
And everybody tells me that I oughta put my head down but I'm not tired
Others advise sleep, but the speaker isn't feeling drowsy.
And everybody tells me that I gotta go to sleep right now but I'm not tired
Despite the insistence on sleep, the speaker resists.
Darlin', I'm hot-wired so joyride my disquiet mind
The speaker feels wired with excitement and restlessness.
Baby, I'm hardwired for shallow passion void of interaction
They are inherently programmed for surface-level connections without depth.
That allows me to avoid the damage, and distract the panic
Avoiding emotional harm and diverting attention from anxiety.
Manage my manic dissatisfaction actually come back and please don't sleep with me right now 'cause I'm not tired
Requesting not to engage intimately due to restlessness and dissatisfaction.
I'm staring down a barrel chest, I hear my heartbeats repeat 'til nothing's left
Feeling like they're facing a challenging situation, hearing their heartbeats continuously.
Escherian and Kafkaesque, descend the staircase to keep me up again
Comparing their experience to the confusing and surreal works of Escher and Kafka.
And everybody tells me that I gotta go to bed right now but I'm not tired
Despite advice to sleep, the speaker remains wide awake.
And everybody tells me that I oughta put my head down Oh lord, I've tried
Expressing efforts made to sleep, but unsuccessful.
And everybody tells me that I better get to sleep right now but I can't
Struggling to sleep despite suggestions to do so.
Sleep it off, sleep it off, sleep it off, sleep it off, sleep right now
Repeating the inability to sleep despite attempts.
No, I can't sleep it off, sleep it off, sleep it off, sleep it off, sleep right now
-No, I can't sleep it off, sleep it off, sleep it off, sleep it off, sleep right now
-No, I can't sleep it off, sleep it off, sleep it off, sleep it off, sleep it off
