Insomnia
Nephenzy Chaos Order Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I am your worst nightmare.
I am your religion.
I am fear, come drink my ambrosia.
You are never sleeping.
You are always dreaming.
You pray to your master.
Save me, I am drowning!
Save me, I am dying!
Save you? I will not!
Enter now, my world of despair.
In this world I am freezing.
In this place I am dreaming.
This religion that I worship,
It's called Death and it's my master.
Chains around my body,
Thorns pressed into my skin.
Blood oozing from these wounds,
My sanity just slipped away.
I smile 'cause you're my saviour.
I die 'cause I am your victim.
Pain is all that matters,
In this world that I call Death!
The lyrics of Nephenzy Chaos Order's song Insomnia reflects on the theme of fear and pain as central to the human experience. The song speaks about the way fear and insomnia can take over a person's thoughts and become all-encompassing, leading to a kind of frenzied energy that cannot be tamed. The singer is claiming to be the source of this insomnia, the worst nightmare, and a kind of religious figure as fear and pain become the new master for the individual.
The song goes on to illustrate the mental and physical state of the person experiencing this fear and pain. They are frozen and dreaming - lost in their own despairing world where it seems as if they are drowning and dying. Yet they are drawn to this pain as it becomes a means of escape, with the victim's ultimate goal being death itself. The lyrics take on an intense and bleak tone that is representative of the individual's dark state of mind as they search for a way to escape the cycle of fear and pain.
