I GET NO SLEEP
Sleepless Symphony: Navigating Turbulent Thoughts in Tyler Stenson's Melody
Lyrics
I get no sleep,
I experience insomnia
Try as I might,
I make an effort, but it's futile
Because I don't see no day
There is no clear distinction between day and night
And there is sure as hell no night.
Nighttime is absent or uncertain
No, it's somewhere in between
The situation is somewhere in the middle
The Dawn's haze and dream
Between the haziness of dawn and the realm of dreams
And Nothing's ever seem more real
Nothing seems more real than the ceiling
Than this ceiling that I see.
The ceiling is a significant and tangible aspect of reality
I get no sleep with these trains inside my head.
Insomnia is caused by thoughts resembling trains in the mind
As far as I can see, I've got tracks running down both sides.
Life seems to have parallel tracks with challenges on both sides
What started as a steady hum
A constant background noise escalates into a metaphorical war drum
Became a war-time drum
Symbolic of inner conflicts intensifying
And eventually north and southbound collide.
Opposing forces within clash, akin to a collision
I get no sleep with these trains inside my head.
Insomnia persists due to mental turmoil
Then, history repeats
Historical patterns reoccur
And the city never sleeps
The city is always active
And I can hear those trains
Train sounds are omnipresent despite being subtle
No matter how soft they creep.
The persistent awareness of challenges or problems
Can you hear them world?
A plea to the world to acknowledge challenges
The wolves are at my door;
A metaphorical representation of challenges or threats
I've got nothing to my name
Having nothing, yet demands for more persist
And still they ask for more.
The perpetual struggle for more despite lack
I get no sleep with these trains inside my head.
Insomnia persists due to recurring mental imagery
As far as I can see, I've got tracks running down both sides.
Parallel challenges persist on both sides of life
What started as a steady hum
A rhythmic background noise intensifies
Became a war-time drum
Symbolic of inner conflicts escalating
And eventually north and southbound collide.
Inner conflicts reach a critical point
I get no sleep with these trains inside my head.
Insomnia persists due to mental turmoil
I get no sleep with these trains inside my head.
Insomnia persists due to recurring mental imagery
