no sleep nights
Nocturnal Musings: Battling Sleepless Nights with Better Than This
Lyrics
Every night starts the same
Expressing a routine where every night begins in a similar manner.
I watch the office all day
Spending the entire day watching "The Office."
Say I'm gonna sleep today
Stating the intention to sleep today.
Then I tweet something lame
Tweeting something uninteresting or uninspiring.
Oh, why can't I just go to sleep?
Expressing frustration about the difficulty of falling asleep.
There's no god damn reason for me to stay up this late
Acknowledging the lack of a valid reason to stay awake late.
Unless you wanna talk
Suggesting staying awake might be justified if there's someone to talk to.
I start to sleep
Attempting to sleep but interrupted by a notification from Netflix.
Then netflix asks if I'm here
Uncertain if fully present or engaged when Netflix prompts.
I don't really know if I am
Expressing confusion or detachment when questioned by Netflix.
I grab a big glass of water
Getting a drink of water, possibly as a distraction or habit.
And gulp it down until I drown
Drinking water excessively, to the point of drowning symbolism.
Oh, why can't I just go to sleep?
Reiterating frustration about the difficulty of falling asleep.
There's no god damn reason for me to stay up this late
Reiterating the lack of a valid reason to stay awake late.
Unless you wanna talk
Revisiting the idea that staying awake might be justified by conversation.
I just wanna go to sleep at night
Expressing a desire to simply sleep at night.
Why can't I just close my damn eye's
Frustration at the inability to close one's eyes and sleep.
So I'll lay here just thinking about you
Lying awake and thinking about someone, waiting for a response.
Really waiting for a reply
Impatiently waiting for communication from the person in mind.
Blue haze across my face
Describing a contemplative or melancholic state with "blue haze."
I turn the TV off
Turning off the TV, possibly as an attempt to facilitate sleep.
But I can't go to sleep
Expressing the inability to go to sleep despite efforts.
