The lyrics to "インソムニア" by ORIGINAL LOVE depict a restless state of mind caused by insomnia. The song explores the various thoughts and experiences that occur during sleepless nights. The opening lines, "ユカニヒジヲツイテ アクビ カミコロス" (Yuka ni hiji o tsuite akubi kamikorosu), suggest that the singer is lying awake in bed, unable to sleep, yawning and feeling fatigued. The following lines, "イヌ ホエナイ イヌ テリツケルヒザシ" (Inu hoenai inu teritsukeru hizashi), describe a dog barking incessantly, disrupting the silence of the night.
The lyrics later mention a lazy dog wagging its tail and watching TV (ワラウドッグ テレビミナガラ), symbolizing the distractions and restlessness that keep the singer awake. The repetition of "ネムラナイ ネムラナイヨル" (Nemuranai nemuranaiyoru) throughout the song emphasizes the reality of insomnia, where sleep never comes.
The second verse talks about a feeling of being alone and contemplating not being able to sleep even when trying different methods, like smoking or counting sheep. The lyrics also urge the listener to fight against this sleeplessness, emphasizing the need to stay awake and alert. The final lines express the frustration and futility of insomnia, suggesting that even in the 21st century, sleeplessness remains a prevalent problem.
