INSOMNIA
No More Heroes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Malam membuat diriku slalu terbiasa,
Menahan rasa ingin tahu yang slalu terbawa-

Kedalam setiap mimpiku,
Merubah pola tidurku yang tak slalu benar.

Malam tak jauh berbeda dari yang biasa,
Mencoba cari tahu apa yang tengah kurasa apa yang kan ku lakukan, mencari yang ku inginkan, menyebalkan.

Pergi dan slamat tinggal mimpi buruku,
Kau slalu mengganggu dalam setiap mimpi-





Tidurku, kini ku ingin terlelap, kini ku ingin terhenyap, dimalam ini, kini, dan nanti.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of No More Heroes' song "Insomnia" present the feelings and thoughts of someone struggling with sleeplessness. The night becomes a habit, and the person tries to restrain their never-ending curiosity that follows them into each dream. The lack of proper sleep patterns leads to frustration and a constant search for meaning and purpose, which becomes aggravating. The lyrics express the desire to leave behind the disturbing dreams and finally achieve deep, restful sleep.


The song effectively conveys the feelings of loneliness and isolation that often accompany sleeplessness. The lyrics suggest that the person has been dealing with insomnia for some time, and that it has become a familiar and unwelcome part of their life. The repetition of phrases like "dimalam ini, kini, dan nanti" emphasizes the temporal and cyclical nature of insomnia, and the frustration that comes from never escaping its grip.


Overall, "Insomnia" is a haunting and evocative track that captures the experience of sleeplessness in a powerful way, with emotive lyrics and a haunting melody that lingers in the mind.
