Insomniac
Sleepless Struggle: Unraveling the Mind in Justus Bennetts' 'Insomniac'
Lyrics
I'm runnin' on no sleep
I am functioning without having slept
I think I might be losing my mind slowly
I feel like I may be gradually losing my mental stability
And I wish I knew how to relax
I desire to know how to calm down and unwind
But maybe I'm a insomniac
Possibly, I am suffering from insomnia
Havin' conversations
I engage in internal dialogues with various voices in my mind
With all of the voices inside my head
I realize I might have been mistaken in thinking I could forget certain things
I must've been mistaken
Continuing with a sense of being misguided
Thinkin' if I tried then I could forget
Believing that I could forget by trying
On and on, I feel like a zombie
Persistently feeling like a zombie, detached and lifeless
But my coffee's strong, it feels like, like I can feel my heartbeat
Despite feeling like a zombie, the strength of my coffee makes me feel alive
I'm awake but hardly, hardly even alive
Although awake, I feel barely alive
I'm runnin' on no sleep
I am still functioning without having slept
I think I might be losing my mind slowly
Similar to line 2, expressing the concern of losing mental stability
And I wish I knew how to relax
Repeating the desire to know how to relax and unwind
But maybe I'm a insomniac
Reiteration of the possibility of suffering from insomnia
And every time I think my eyes are closing
Every time I think I am about to sleep, I realize it's already morning
I realize it's already the morning
Realization that time has passed while attempting to sleep
And I wish I knew how to relax
Repeating the desire to know how to relax and unwind
But maybe I'm a insomniac, yeah
Reiteration of the possibility of suffering from insomnia
Wanna dream, feels like I'm stuck inside a nightmare
Expressing a desire to dream but feeling trapped in a nightmarish reality
Knowing I should get up outta bed, but I just lay there
Aware that I should get out of bed, but feeling immobilized
Sidetracked, time-lapse, life is kickin' my ass
Feeling overwhelmed, as if life is challenging and defeating me
Maybe I would sleep a little better if I tried less
Suggesting that sleeping might improve if I exerted less effort
On and on, I feel like a zombie
Continuing to feel detached and lifeless, akin to a zombie
But my coffee's strong, it feels like, like I can feel my heartbeat
Despite feeling like a zombie, the strength of my coffee makes me feel alive
I'm awake but hardly, hardly even alive
Although awake, I feel barely alive
I'm runnin' on no sleep
Repetition of the theme of functioning without sleep
I think I might be losing my mind slowly
Reiterating the concern of losing mental stability
And I wish I knew how to relax
Repeating the desire to know how to relax and unwind
But maybe I'm a insomniac
Reiteration of the possibility of suffering from insomnia
And every time I think my eyes are closing
Similar to line 19, realizing that sleep is elusive
I realize it's already the morning
Reiteration of the realization that time has passed while attempting to sleep
And I wish I knew how to relax
Repeating the desire to know how to relax and unwind
But maybe I'm a insomniac, yeah
Reiteration of the possibility of suffering from insomnia
