Lights Out Loud
Insomnia's Lament: Wrestling with Demons in the Night
Lyrics
Life keeps moving, but I'm already dead
Feeling emotionally disconnected from life, despite being alive.
It's the moonlight's curse thats got me sick in the head
Feeling mentally unwell due to the influence of nighttime and its associated effects.
I can't lay down because I'm under duress
Unable to rest due to feeling pressure or coercion.
And my mind keeps racing like a boy who's a mess
Experiencing a chaotic and restless state of mind.
Heavens just a place to make me feel right
Viewing heaven as a place for solace but acknowledging a persistent sense of hellish experiences.
But I know damn well hell is every night
Recognizing a continuous struggle or suffering occurring nightly.
And I can't sleep
Insomnia or inability to sleep.
No I can't sleep oh you don't wanna know
Reinforcing the inability to sleep, suggesting it's not something easily understood.
I can't trust myself not to let it go
Lack of self-trust to control emotions or actions.
You found your faith I found another soul
Highlighting contrasting discoveries or paths taken.
Oh whoa oh oh
Lyric for emphasis or emotional expression.
Oh whoa oh oh oh
-Every years worse kid here it goes again
Expressing a recurring cycle of worsening situations.
My battles with death are the ones I never win
Futile struggles against mortality.
I'm beating my chest just to try and contest
Attempting to confront or challenge inevitable truths.
But the truth stands out like a bullet proof vest
Recognizing the stark and undeniable reality despite efforts to shield oneself.
I know some day I'm gonna be underground
Acknowledging an inevitable future death.
And the worst part about it is I wont hear a sound
Regret about the lack of awareness or experience during death.
And I can't sleep
Reiteration of insomnia or inability to sleep.
No I can't sleep
Continued emphasis on the inability to sleep.
No I can't sleep oh you don't wanna know
Reaffirming the complexity of the situation.
I can't trust myself not to let it go
Lack of confidence in self-control.
You found your faith I found another soul
Highlighting differing paths taken in life.
Oh whoa oh oh
Lyric for emphasis or emotional expression.
Oh whoa oh oh
-Gun to my head just to flick away the lights
Metaphorically expressing a desire to end life or escape reality.
Gonna turn the sheets red with a hint of hindsight
Symbolic imagery depicting an aftermath filled with regret.
No I don't need your sympathy
Rejecting the need for empathy or pity.
A prince without a crown is what I wanna be
Aspiring for freedom from responsibilities or expectations.
Gun to my head just to flick away the lights
Repetition of the desire to end life or escape reality.
Gonna turn the sheets red with a hint of hindsight
Reiteration of consequences and hindsight after a drastic action.
No I don't need your sympathy
Reiterating the rejection of empathy or pity.
A prince without a crown is what I wanna be
Desire for independence or liberation from societal expectations.
No I can't sleep oh you don't wanna know
Reaffirming the complexity of the situation.
I can't trust myself not to let it go
Continued lack of self-trust in managing emotions or actions.
You found your faith I found another soul
Emphasizing differing paths chosen in life.
Oh whoa oh oh
Lyric for emphasis or emotional expression.
Oh whoa oh oh
