The Sum of All Fear
Embracing the Shadows: Confronting Fear and Insomnia Through the Night
Lyrics
It's time to go to bed again
Expressing the need to sleep again
Another sleepless night in sweat and pain
Describing another night without sleep filled with anxiety and discomfort
I can't face it again and again
Feeling unwilling to face the recurring sleepless nights
I hear them they are everywhere
Sensing a pervasive presence or influence
A razor-blade on my wrist again
Contemplating self-harm with a razor-blade as a desperate escape
I would rather bleed to death than hear it
Expressing a preference for bleeding to death over enduring something painful
Another sleepless night
Repeating the theme of another night without sleep
Seconds of waiting to exhale
Highlighting the anticipation of relief through exhaling after moments of tension
Legions of the lost approaches again
Referring to approaching difficulties or challenges
Another sleepless night in sweat and pain
Reiterating the experience of a sleepless night filled with sweat and pain
Convicted to fear night and hour
Feeling sentenced or condemned to fear during the night
Where is my strength where is my power
Expressing a loss of inner strength and power
Twisting and turning for some peace of mind
Describing internal turmoil and restlessness in search of peace
At dawn I leave it all behind
Deciding to leave behind the struggles at dawn
Try to turn on the light but I can't move
Attempting to turn on the light but feeling immobilized
The insomnia crushes me with it's massive weight
Experiencing the overwhelming weight of insomnia
This distorted nights makes me wait and wait
Enduring distorted nights with a sense of anticipation for a new day
For a new morning, a new sunrise
Longing for a new morning and a fresh start
Legions of the lost approaches again
Repeating the theme of approaching difficulties or challenges
Another sleepless night in sweat and pain
Recalling another sleepless night filled with sweat and pain
My fear is here
Acknowledging the presence of fear in the current moment
