Insomniac Reverie: Navigating Dreams, Desire, and the Other Side
Lyrics
I count all the sheep in the world and then I get to cattle
Reflecting on various thoughts, starting with counting sheep and transitioning to cattle, suggesting difficulty in finding mental peace.
Load up the boat like Noah but I got no paddle
Feeling unprepared and directionless, likening the situation to Noah without a paddle, emphasizing a lack of control.
Stuck in the waves with dead-weight in my brain
Feeling overwhelmed with mental burdens, comparing them to dead-weight in waves, signifying emotional struggles.
I try to empty it out
Attempting to clear the mind of burdens, but facing difficulty in doing so.
But it just keeps saying:
Internal thoughts persistently urging action, possibly related to seeking distraction or escape.
"Get out your phone
Encouragement to engage in social media, fame, and ambition to avoid fading into obscurity, highlighting societal pressures and expectations.
Hit up an old flame
-Get on the Gram
-Giddy up with the fame
-Gotta claim that nameplate
-Ambition nailed to your door
-You don't wanna fade to nothing
-(Shit it's 4 a.m. I think I maybe need a muffin)
-Quit letting them tell you wait your turn
-You're ready for it
-They gon learn"
-Is this heartbreak or just heartburn?
Questioning if the emotional turmoil is heartbreak or a more superficial discomfort (heartburn).
Soon I'll be living the dream
Expressing hope for a future where dreams are realized, contrasting with the current state of exhaustion.
But for now I'm tired
Acknowledging current fatigue despite aspirations for a brighter future.
I make thunder on the mountain from the hunger in this moleskin-deep
Creating powerful art (thunder on the mountain) fueled by deep emotions and experiences (moleskin-deep).
Romance that I plunder
Exploring romantic pursuits, questioning the trustworthiness of emotions and the source of fulfillment.
Just to cut to what is golden
-Honey have you wondered
-Can you trust these emotions?
-Was it something you can drink or water from the ocean?
-Mixing up the body and the mind just like a fool
Struggling with confusion and emotional turmoil, using metaphors like mixing up the body and mind, and questioning the nature of the problem.
Tryna deep-sea-dive but I'm just stuck crying
-Inside the public pool
-Maybe I will just keep craving till the end of time
-Maybe just stayed up too late and everything's just fine...
-Is this heartbreak or just heartburn?
Repeating the question of heartbreak or heartburn, expressing the anticipation of future success but acknowledging current challenges.
Soon I'll be living the dream
-But for now I'm tired
-Is this heartbreak or just heartburn?
-Soon I'll be the man on the screen but for now I'm wired
-I'm starving to know
Expressing a deep desire for unconditional love while questioning if the current emotional state is genuine or exaggerated.
You love me completely–
-(Is this heartbreak or just heartburn?)
-No that's overblown
-Just lonesome and needy
-(Is this heartbreak or just heartburn?)
Considering writing, desiring, or fighting as potential ways to overcome challenges and reach a more positive state.
Think I will write my way to the other side
-(Is this heartbreak or just heartburn?)
-Or I will desire my way to the other side
-If not I'm gonna bite my way fight my way right to the other side
-Insomniac Insomniac Insomniac Insomniac
Repetition of various actions (fighting, writing, spiting, biting) as potential paths to reach the 'other side,' representing resolution or improvement.
Fight my way
-Write my way
-Spite my way
-Bite my way
-Other side other side other side other side
-Love my way
-Run my way
-Luck my way
-Fuck my way
-Other side other side other side other side
-Insomniac Insomniac Insomniac Insomniac
Reiteration of the title "Insomniac," possibly emphasizing ongoing struggles and challenges in finding peace or resolution.
