Without Sleep
King Raam Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

بی خواب و خواب آلود
مث ِ یه ابرِعلّاف
هی اینور و اونور میرم

بی حوصله ، بی نقشه
با صورت نشسته
هی خودمو دلداری میدم

مثل یه شنبه شدم
تعطیل و خاکستری
مثل یه شنبه شدم

خیلی وقته که دیگه
خواب رنگی ندیدم
حتی
با عینک

خیلی وقته که دیگه
خبرخوب نشنیدم
حتی
به زور
سمعک

من به فکر گم شدن
دکتربه فکر درمون
میگه روزی سه دفعه
باید
برم
دوش
بگیرم

بی خواب و خواب آلود
دل میزنم به دریا
بی خواب و خواب آلود

باز خواب خوب ندیدم
خبری نشنیدم
حتی

زیر
دوش

Overall Meaning

These lyrics are from the song "Without Sleep" by King Raam. The song explores the feeling of restlessness and exhaustion that comes from being unable to find peace, both physically and emotionally. The lyrics express the struggle of facing the day with a tired and weary mind, feeling like a cloud drifting aimlessly. The singer mentions feeling impatient and directionless, sitting with a blank face, trying to console oneself.

The repetition of the phrase "مثل یه شنبه شدم" (meaning "I have become like a Monday") emphasizes the monotonous and colorless nature of the singer's existence. Mondays are often associated with the start of the workweek and a lack of excitement or motivation. This comparison further emphasizes the singer's fatigue and lack of energy.

The lyrics also mention the singer's inability to sleep, even with the aid of glasses or hearing aids. This suggests a deep-seated restlessness and the absence of peaceful moments. The line "بی خبرخوب نشنیدم" (meaning "I haven't heard any good news") highlights the singer's ongoing struggle to find positivity and joy in their life.
