Insomnia
Nocturnal Heartache: Unveiling the Emotional Struggle in Sandstone City's 'Insomnia'
Lyrics
Oh, yeah
Expression of agreement or acknowledgment
Oh, yeah
Repetition of expression, emphasizing agreement or acknowledgment
Waking up in the middle of the night
Describing the act of waking up during the night
Don't pretend that you're doing alright
Advising not to pretend well-being or normalcy
Waking up in the middle of the night
Repetition of the experience of waking up at night
Don't pretend that you're doing alright
Emphasis on not pretending to be okay
You're home all alone, with a bottle of jack
Being alone at home with a bottle of Jack Daniel's whiskey
Missing my body, touch of my hands on your back
Expressing a longing for physical closeness and intimacy
You want me to come, but you don't trust me to stay
Desire for presence but hesitation due to lack of trust
Afraid to be loved so you push me away
Fear of love leading to defensive actions of pushing away
Insomnia, yeah, oh
Introduction of the theme of insomnia, possibly a metaphor for inner turmoil
Insomnia, yeah
Repetition, reinforcing the theme of insomnia
Insomnia, yeah, oh
Reiteration of the impact of insomnia
Insomnia, yeah
Continued emphasis on the disruptive nature of insomnia
Oh, yeah
Repetition of acknowledgment or agreement
Oh, yeah
Repetition, emphasizing acknowledgment or agreement
Oh, yeah
Repetition, reinforcing acknowledgment or agreement
Oh, yeah
Repetition, further emphasizing acknowledgment or agreement
Waking up in the middle of the night
Reiteration of waking up during the night
Can't pretend that I'm doing alright
Personal admission of not doing well while waking up at night
Waking up in the middle of the night
Repetition of the experience of waking up at night
Can't pretend that I'm doing alright
Admission of personal struggle while waking up
You are all I want girl, you are all I need
Expressing a deep desire for the person addressed
I've tried to deserve you, get down on my knees
Acknowledging efforts to be deserving, showing humility
You told me that you loved me, now tell me if you lied
Recalling a declaration of love and seeking confirmation of truth
I need to know the truth, 'cause it keeps me up at night
Expressing a need for honesty to alleviate nighttime anxiety
Insomnia, yeah, oh
Reiteration of the impact of insomnia
Insomnia, yeah
Repetition, reinforcing the theme of insomnia
Insomnia, yeah, oh
Reiteration of the disruptive nature of insomnia
Insomnia, yeah
Continued emphasis on the impact of insomnia
