Insomnio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I expected more from you
I needed you to give me hands, and you
gave me claws
I need a quick way out!
I can't stand it any longer
I need a quick way out!
I'm drowning
I just want a friend but you were a bitch/bastard
so you see, no light in my life
not even the moonlight at night
"Quick Wayout" by Insomnio is a song that talks about a person's desperation and their need to escape their present situation. The song's lyrics speak about a person who has been let down by someone they trusted, someone they believed would be there to offer them comfort and support. The singer portrays their disappointment in the other person, stating how they expected more from them, something that did not come to fruition.
The line, "I needed you to give me hands, and you gave me claws" refers to how the singer expected their friend to extend their hand and help them through a tough time but instead turned around and made things worse. The metaphorical use of "claws" suggests that the friend might have hurt the singer instead.
As the song progresses, the singer expresses their need for escape, indicating how they can't take it anymore, and they require a quick way out. The repeated line, "I'm drowning" emphasizes the extent of their crisis and how urgent it is for them to find a way out.
The song portrays a sense of hopelessness, as the singer seeks a quick way out of their misery. They also reveal how they needed a smile from their friend but instead got hate, indicating how badly the friendship has turned sour. The last line of the song, "not even the moonlight at night," reinforces the idea of this individual being surrounded by darkness and devoid of hope.
