INSOMNIA
Craig David | www.Marvin-Vibez.in Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why am I being kept awake by the candlelight
I fight with the sandman and I'll never win
After all I'm captive by a lucid dream
I feel like I'm your prisoner
Trapped in my own mind
When all the deafening whispers
As the world falls
I stay here awake
And as the night calls
Insomnia I forsake
Weakness that I foresee
Has sinked inside my mind
I want to be set free
With the gift of night
Sleepless for countless evenings
How am I still alive
No clue of when's the ending
Mind into overdrive
Morpheus I ask for your grace
For this sickness I have to face
I just stand to rise and fall
Trapped between these fucking walls
I am the Dawnbreaker
I feel like I'm your prisoner
Trapped in my own mind
When all the deafening whispers
Stop the flow of time
As the world falls
I stay here awake
And as the night calls
Insomnia I forsake
I forsake
In "Insomnia," Craig David sings about the struggles of sleeplessness, describing himself as a "prisoner" in his own mind as he battles the "sandman" night after night. He wonders why he feels so exhausted when his energy has seemingly drained away and questions what is keeping him awake in the candlelight. He further describes the deafening whispers and the disruption of time as he is held captive by a lucid dream. David's song is a poignant reflection of the mental torment that sleep deprivation can cause, and the lyrics conjure up vivid imagery of the struggle to overcome this disturbance.
The chorus of the song emphasizes his sense of captivity and frustration at his inability to fall asleep. He asks for the grace of Morpheus, the god of sleep, to help him overcome his sleep disorder. David's lyrics are a cry for release from his mental anguish, and they highlight the powerful impact of insomnia on his life.

Craig David Lyrics
"Insomnia"
(Jim Beanz, give it to me, oh baby I can't!)
Never thought that I'd fall in love, love, love, love
But it grew from a simple crush, crush, crush, crush
Being without you girl, I was all messed up, up, up, up
When you walked out, said that you'd had enough-nough-nough-nough
Been a fool, girl I know
Didn't expect this is how things would go
Maybe in time, you'll change your mind
Now looking back i wish i could rewind
Because i can't sleep til you're next to me
No i can't live without you no more
Oh i stay up til you're next to me
Til this house feels like it did before
Feels like insomnia ah ah, Feels like insomnia ah ah
Feels like insomnia ah ah, Feels like insomnia ah ah
Remember telling my boys that I'd never fall in love, love, love, love
You used to think I'd never find a girl I could trust, trust, trust, trust
And then you walked into my life and it was all about us, us, us, us
But now I'm sitting here thinking I messed the whole thing up, up, up, up
Been a fool (fool), girl I know (know)
Didn't expect this is how things would go
Maybe in time (time), you'll change your mind (mind)
Now looking back i wish i could rewind
Because i can't sleep til you're next to me
No i can't live without you no more (without you no more)
Oh i stay up til you're next to me (to me)
Til this house feels like it did before (Because it)
Feels like insomnia ah ah, Feels like insomnia ah ah
Feels like insomnia ah ah (Ah), Feels like insomnia ah ah
Ah, i just can't go to sleep
Cause it feels like I've fallen for you
It's getting way too deep
And i know that it's love because
I can't sleep til you're next to me
No i can't live without you no more (without you no more)
Oh i stay up til you're next to me (to me)
Til this house feels like it did before
Feels like insomnia ah ah, Feels like insomnia ah ah
Feels like insomnia ah ah, Feels like insomnia ah ah
Feels like insomnia ah ah, Feels like insomnia ah ah
Feels like insomnia ah ah, Feels like insomnia ah ah
