Insomnia For Months
Kylesa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Crash into mirrors
Visions in the pieces
Comprise a whole picture
Energy is cheating
Insomnia for months
Insomnia for months
There is no choice
Cannot count fingers
Multitude of memories
Left in a stupor
Sobriety out of boredom
Insomnia for months
Insomnia for months
Structure was never solid
I built it earthworn
Insomnia for months
Insomnia for months
The lyrics to Kylesa's song Insomnia For Months explore the theme of restlessness, boredom and the never-ending cycle of sleeplessness. The opening line "There is no choice" suggests that the singer has no control over their situation and is trapped in a relentless cycle of insomnia. They feel as though they are crashing into mirrors, causing fragments of visions and memories to come to the surface. These pieces create a whole picture of the singer's state of mind. The line "Energy is cheating" suggests that the singer is struggling to find the energy to keep going, but also feels as though any energy they do have is deceptive or misleading.
The chorus of "Insomnia for months" repeats several times, emphasizing just how long the singer has been struggling with sleeplessness. The second verse further emphasizes this idea, with the singer unable to even count their fingers. Instead, they are lost in a multitude of memories that leave them feeling stupor-like. The last line of the second verse, "Sobriety out of boredom," suggests that the singer may be turning to substances to help them sleep or escape boredom.
The final line of the song, "Structure was never solid, I built it earthworn," suggests that the singer's entire life structure is unstable and built on shaky foundations. The adjective "earthworn" indicates that this structure is not just unstable but almost worn away, leaving the singer without any solid support or direction. Ultimately, the lyrics to Kylesa's song Insomnia For Months explore the feeling of being lost, trapped, and without hope for change.
