INSOMNIA
Lazy Rich Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
no beginning and no end
is it real or pretend
is it lies or the truth
all these voices sound the same
someone whispering your name
am I lost am I insane
eyes won't shut
enough insomnia
give up
you're tough insomnia
eyes won't shut
enough insomnia, insomnia
reminds me of you
The lyrics of Lazy Rich's song Insomnia portray a theme of angst, confusion and sleeplessness, which resonates with many individuals. The lyrics invite the listener to join the storyteller as they embark on an ambiguous journey with no discernable beginning or end. However, the listeners are not the only ones joining this journey; another individual takes the storyteller by the hand, leading them to a place where the lines between truth and lies become blurred. Despite their proximity, the voices the storyteller hears sound the same, making it hard for them to discern whether it is they who are lost and insane. In this throes of confusion and insomnia, the storyteller is reminded of someone special, which hurls them into a cycle of haunting memories and the inability to sleep.
Lazy Rich uses precise language with a rhythmic flow to convey the storyteller's state of mind. They use words like 'reminded of you' to signify that the memory of the person they are thinking of is haunting them, making it challenging to sleep. The lyrics' repetition of 'enough insomnia' draws emphasis on the intensity of the storyteller's insomnia, which is quite a relatable phenomenon. The use of parallelism in 'eyes won't shut' and 'enough insomnia' reflects the sleeplessness and angst that the storyteller is experiencing.
