INSOMNIA
CANDYS Mike Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Deep in the bosom of the gentle night
Is when I search for the light
Pick up my pen and start to write
I struggle, fight dark forces
In the clear moon light
Without fear, insomnia
I can't get no sleep

I used to worry, thought I was goin' mad in a hurry
Gettin' stress, makin' excess mess in darkness
No electricity, something's all over me, greasy
Insomnia please release me and let me dream of
Makin' mad love to my girl on the heath
Tearin' off tights with my teeth
But there's no release, no peace
I toss and turn without cease
Like a curse, open my eyes and rise like yeast
At least a couple of weeks
Since I last slept, kept takin' sleepers
But now I keep myself pepped
Deeper still, that night I write by candle light
I find insight, fundamental movement, uh
So when it's back this insomniac take an original tack
Keep the beast in my nature under ceaseless attack
I gets no sleep
I can't get no sleep

I can't get no sleep
I can't get no sleep

I need to sleep, although I get no sleep
I need to sleep, although I get no sleep

Line by Line Meaning

Deep in the bosom of the gentle night
During the peaceful darkness of night

Is when I search for the light
I try to find inspiration

Pick up my pen and start to write
I begin to write down my thoughts

I struggle, fight dark forces
I battle negative thoughts

In the clear moon light
Under the brightness of the moon

Without fear, insomnia
I am not afraid of my inability to sleep

I can't get no sleep
I am unable to sleep

I used to worry, thought I was goin' mad in a hurry
I used to stress and think I was losing my mind

Gettin' stress, makin' excess mess in darkness
I become stressed and make a mess in the darkness

No electricity, something's all over me, greasy
With no power, I feel something unpleasant on me

Insomnia please release me and let me dream of
I hope insomnia will let me dream about

Makin' mad love to my girl on the heath
Having passionate sex with my lover in an open area

Tearin' off tights with my teeth
Removing clothing with my teeth

But there's no release, no peace
I cannot find relief or relaxation

I toss and turn without cease
I continually move around without stopping

Like a curse, open my eyes and rise like yeast
Like a spell, I suddenly wake up and become alert

At least a couple of weeks
It has been a few weeks

Since I last slept, kept takin' sleepers
I have not slept for a while and relied on sleeping pills

But now I keep myself pepped
But now I keep myself energized

Deeper still, that night I write by candle light
Even deeper in my insomnia, I write by candle light

I find insight, fundamental movement, uh
I gain an understanding and a core concept

So when it's back this insomniac take an original tack
So when insomnia returns, I try a different approach

Keep the beast in my nature under ceaseless attack
I continuously fight to control my negative thoughts

I gets no sleep
I still cannot sleep

I can't get no sleep
I am unable to sleep

I need to sleep, although I get no sleep
I require sleep, even though I cannot get any
