INSOMNIA
Lost in Kiev Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It has been one year,
It was at the club Nuit Noire
I've never met someone since
It's like I'm closing my eyes on my own life
Endless darkness
When we're closing our eyes
Its a night without stars made of insomnia
Throughout which I'm seeking resilience

It has been one year
When we're closing our eyes
It was at the club Nuit Noire
It's a night without stars made of insomnia




Endless darkness
It was at the club Nuit Noire

Overall Meaning

Lost in Kiev's song "Insomnia" describes a year-long struggle with sleeplessness, prompted by a night out at a club named Nuit Noire. The singer cannot escape the memory of that night and cannot seem to find comfort or refuge from the endless darkness of their insomnia. The repetition of the phrase "when we're closing our eyes" emphasizes the futility of trying to rest, as it only leads to revisiting the same night over and over again.


The lyrics also suggest that the singer has not been able to connect with anyone since that night, perhaps indicating a deeper sense of isolation and loneliness. The use of the word "resilience" implies that the singer is trying to find a way to cope and push through their insomnia, but so far has not been able to overcome it.


Overall, "Insomnia" is a powerful and relatable portrayal of the frustrating and often debilitating experience of sleeplessness.
