LOSING SLEEP
Chorus: Fern.
Losing sleep babe, over you
Say I've been so patient lately
But you can never save me, I
wanna do you right
I just wanna say
Verse 1: Justin
Every night I'm staying up
Is it me or is it love?
Thought I was attracted but oh no I never was
Lord knows I've had enough

Nobody can save me no
Loves giving in like a drug
Can't get my sh*t together cause you're the only one I'm thinking of
Falling over and over again
and I'm

Chorus: Fern. and Justin
Losing sleep babe, over you
Say I've been so patient lately
But you can never save me, I
wanna do you right
I just wanna say

Losing sleep babe, over you
Say I've been so patient lately
But you can never save me, I
wanna do you right
I just wanna say

Verse 2:Fern.
Real or just a drug
I'm running out of love
So tell me how to feel babe
I think I've had enough
How to love
I never really knew how to love

I never fell in love with me
It was more than I could
The drugs were blinding me
Mixed in with all the Hennessy
They say I drink too much, I take too much lately
Oh no

Chorus: Fern. and Justin
Losing sleep babe, over you
Say I've been so patient lately
But you can never save me, I
wanna do you right
I just wanna say

Losing sleep babe, over you
Say I've been so patient lately
But you can never save me, I
wanna do you right
I just wanna say

The song "Losing Sleep" by Firegod is about the pain and frustration of unrequited love. The chorus, sung by Fern, expresses the central theme of the song: the singer is losing sleep over someone they care deeply about, but who doesn't reciprocate their feelings. Despite their patience and efforts to do the right thing, they can't help their obsession.


The first verse, sung by Justin, describes his struggle to move on from this person. He can't stop thinking about them, even though he knows it's not healthy. He's tried to convince himself that he's only attracted to them, but he now realizes that he's in love with them. However, he knows that this love is destructive and that he needs to find a way to free himself from it.


The second verse, sung by Fern, explores the idea that love can be like a drug. She's unsure whether her feelings are real or if they're just an addiction. She feels like she's running out of love, and she wishes she could turn off her emotions like a switch. She's been using drugs and alcohol as a coping mechanism, but she knows that this isn't a healthy way to deal with her feelings.


Overall, "Losing Sleep" is a poignant and relatable song for anyone who's struggled with unrequited love. It captures the pain and frustration of trying to move on from someone who doesn't feel the same way, and the sense of helplessness that can come with that.
