Reign of Terror was re-released as a deluxe edition with the five tracks from the "Live Life" EP on November 24, 2014. Reign of Terror charted at No. 86 on the U.S. Billboard 200, the band's first album to chart in the U.S., as well as the third Australian metal band to chart.
In March 2017, the band posted "RIP CTC" on its social media, following days later with a new song under the band's new official name, Capture.
Insomniac
Capture the Crown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With the sun, this insomnia is eating at my soul
And I got nothing left to show
This could honestly be a problem
I've had no sleep and it's getting hard trying to think
I haven't slept a night and I'm paying through the fucking nose
Try and wake me up, let me know which way the wind blows
Fuck what you said, fuck what you did, listen
All alone trying to read all the faces unspoken
In other words, must be broken
Hypnotize me, make me believe that this was all just a dream
I wish I was
Waste away, wasting way
Spending all my time running these empty fucking streets
Watch me waste away, it's quite simply said
What's the point of a day
We are the walking dead
Watch me waste away
All alone, all alone
Trying to read all the faces unspoken
In other words I must be broken
Hypnotize me, make me believe that I must be dreaming
I wish I was, fucking oath mate, let me sleep
The lyrics of "Insomniac" by Capture the Crown describe the struggles and consequences of insomnia. The song begins with the realization that fighting against the weight of sleeplessness is taking a toll on the artist's soul. The phrase "I got nothing left to show" might refer to the lack of productivity and motivation insomnia can cause.
The artist admits that the situation could become a problem, as they find it hard to think and begin to experience physical and mental exhaustion. The chorus of the song emphasizes the sense of wasting time and dissipating energy that insomnia implies, as the artist feels aimlessly wandering through empty streets. The phrase "We are the walking dead" creates a pervasive sense of hopelessness and futility.
Towards the end of the song, the artist searches for a way out of this state of mind, wishing to be hypnotized or dream away from the reality of being awake. The use of the expletive "fucking oath mate" underlines the desperation and frustration of the artist's plea to be left alone to sleep.
Overall, the lyrics of "Insomniac" provide an intricate portrait of the struggle with insomnia, a state of mind where time becomes weightless, and the world loses its sense of purpose.

This song in particular reminds me of Crown The Empire :) CTC are one of my favorite bands, everyone compares them to AA which I understand but this song would always remind me of CTE :)

The band needs another album tbh. You can't expect one album to have all amazing songs. Their first album has a load of variety but songs just tend to go off beat and losses it. But their doing great. However I wanna see what else they can come up with.

If you liked Asking Alexandria's album, "Stand Up & Scream," you'll like Capture The Crown, because CTC resembles that album pretty well.
