INSOMNIA
Michael Mind Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Deep in the bosom of the gentle night
Is when I search for the light
Pick up my pen and start to write
I struggle I fight
Dark forces in the clear moonlight
Without fear – insomnia
I can't get no sleep
I used to worry
Thought I was going mad in a hurry
Getting stressed making excess mess in darkness
No electricity something's all over me
Greasy insomnia please release me
And let me dream of making mad love
To my girl on the heath

Tearing off tights with my teeth
But there's no release no peace
I toss and turn without cease
Like a curse open my eyes and rise like yeast
At least a couple of weeks since I last slept
Kept taking sleepers
But now I keep myself pepped
Deeper still that night
I write by candlelight I find insight
Fundamental movement huh so when it's black
This insomniac take an original tack
Keep the beast in my nature
Under ceaseless attack
I gets no sleep
I can't get no sleep

I can't get no sleep
I can't get no sleep





I need to sleep I can't get no sleep
I need to sleep I can't get no sleep

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Michael Mind's song "Insomnia" describe the struggle of someone who can't sleep at night. The first few lines talk about the feeling of being lost in the darkness of the night and searching for light. The singer then picks up their pen and starts to write, indicating that they might be a creative person who finds solace in the act of writing. However, they struggle and fight against the dark forces, which could represent their inner demons or external factors that are keeping them from sleeping. The line "Without fear – insomnia" could be interpreted as the singer trying to face their insomnia head-on, without being afraid of it.



The second verse describes the toll that insomnia has taken on the singer. They used to worry and thought they were going crazy because of their lack of sleep. They became stressed, made a mess in the dark, and felt like something was all over them. They begged for their "greasy insomnia" to release them and let them dream of making love to their significant other. The description of "tearing off tights with my teeth" suggests that the singer is restless and attempting to find some sort of relief from their insomnia. The line "but there's no release no peace" shows that their struggle continues, despite their efforts. They toss and turn endlessly, and their lack of sleep has reached a serious point, where they haven't slept for at least a couple of weeks. They confess to taking sleepers, which could be medication that is meant to help with insomnia, but even that didn't work. The singer then describes writing by candlelight and finding insight, which could indicate that they were able to find some clarity during their sleepless nights. Finally, the song ends with the repeated refrain of "I need to sleep, I can't get no sleep," emphasizing the desperation that the singer feels.
