Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Leave my body buried in Africa
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
It's been a long time
Since I felt like this
Gotta grab all the pieces put it back together again
Woah
Can't believe you did that no
I'm feeling bi polar
I'm feeling insomnia
I'm running out of stamina
Leave my body frozen in Canada
My soul is froze
Smoking on dope my eyes glow
I'm too busy dreaming my eyes closed
Watch it all unfold as my mind flows
You seem to wanna lie to me I
Wanna see if you still fuck with me I
Fuck with you so baby girl yeah what it do
Hop in the coupe
Come for a ride
Teach you something new
What a surprise i
Wanna know what's flowing through your mind girl
Wanna know if I can make you mine tonight girl
It's been a long time
Since I felt like this
Gotta grab all the pieces put it back together again
I thought that you were my friend
Woah
Can't believe you did that no
I'm feeling bi polar
I'm feeling insomnia
I'm running out of stamina
Leave my buried in africa
My soul is froze
Smoking on dope my eyes glow
I'm too busy dreaming my eyes closed
Watch it all unfold as my mind flows
The lyrics to K.A.A.N's song "Insomnia" appear to be detailing someone who is struggling emotionally and mentally due to a recent betrayal by a friend or loved one. The first two lines of the chorus, "Africa, leave my body buried in Africa" suggest an overwhelming desire to escape from their current situation and start anew. The following line, "It's been a long time since I felt like this" implies that they haven't felt this level of emotional turmoil in a while, which makes the pain that much harder to bear.
The verses that follow speak to the singer's feelings of being adrift and unmoored. The repetition of the line "I'm feeling bi-polar" suggests a sense of instability and a lack of control over one's emotions. The use of the phrase "leave my body frozen in Canada" further illustrates the idea of wanting to escape or disappear. Despite the hopelessness in the verses, the chorus offers a glimmer of hope, as the singer seems to be picking up the pieces and attempting to put themselves back together.
Overall, the lyrics to "Insomnia" paint a picture of someone who is struggling to cope with a recent trauma. While the specifics of the situation are left up to interpretation, the song provides a powerful and relatable glimpse into the difficult process of healing and moving on.

Can't sleep
Nigga can't sleep
I can't sleep
I can't sleep lawd
I'm wide awake
I can't sleep and
[x7]
I can't sleep still wide awake
And I can't sleep still wide awake
And I think I lost my fucking mind
Cause I swear to God I wanna die today [x2]
Now take it back to the motherfucking days
When a young nigga didn't have any fucking problems
Where did you go and who do you call?
When you feel like you had ran out of every fucking option
And I'm a pill pop till a nigga feel nauseous
Suicide on my mind got me mentally exhausted
Fell in love with the pain cutting my own wrist
And watching the blood drip don't nobody give a shit
Until that motherfucking trip
Gone postal
Loco
Damn my nigga lost it
What does everybody think that I am finna do?
Here is something you can never understand
Is the way I kill a man
Make a life seem minuscule
Been a fool
Try to OD back in middle school
Losing my composure
I'm dosing but tryna keep it cool
Cause if it don't make money
Than it don't make sense
In the land where a handful of cash rules
Dirt broke
The way that niggas are re-tenant
Complacent with being tenant
The problem never lieutenant
In a system where ownership depended on profession
Confessin' that I'm obsessed
With the craft that I've adapted
Writing a spiritual doctrine
I've back it up on conflict
I deal with on the constant
Skeletons in my closet
Place sins on my conscience
Does anybody ever listen when a young nigga speak?
My god!
What?
You ain't got a voice in your head
That tell you to leave 'em dead
Turn the white wall red, nigga
Cut a motherfucker throat
I sit and I watch 'em choke
Suffocate upon your last fucking breath, nigga
Schizophrenic yes I am
Another young black man
With a whole lot of pain
I have nothing to lose
And everything to obtain
Going crazy with these suicidal thoughts in my brain
I can't sleep still wide awake
And I can't sleep still wide awake
And I think I lost my fucking mind
Cause I swear to God I wanna die today [x2]
Now I personally feel
You should never get involved
With a psychopathic killer that's living closer to God
In a blacked out room with a demon on the wall
Already hallucinating from a handful of acid
Crashed the damn van inside of the mad casket
Cultivated the vision re-visual whiplashes
Premonitions of death, I've seen through thick glasses
I'm runnin' outta time but preaching to big masses
Sanctifying a mind of a lost atheist bastard
Covenants of the woman that's battin' her eyelashes
Blacked out the aesthetics I'm grabbin' a whore faster
Retract and attack on the motherfuckin' master
Servin' an hors d'oeuvre of blood, pain and disaster
Painted a perfect picture of bodies gettin' disfigured
I started off with a pen until I'm slicin' the cartilage
Cuttin' yo body open like a fuckin' Cardiologist
I'm just an entity with an appetite
Not a mothafucka that anotha nigga wanna aggravate
Hand on a blade, shaky whenever agitated
Not exaggerated it's factual when elaborated
I collaborated with the spirit of every serial killer
With a couple John Does that were found by the river
Just a few random thoughts you can find in my mind
The greatest of all-time ah!
