Psychonaut 4 started with a demo tape titled "40%", released by Depressive Illusions Records in 2011. In June 2012 the band released "Tired, Numb, Still Alive", a 3-way split album with Unjoy and Eurythmie, released by Der Neue Weg Productions.

Sleeping Pills Suck
Psychonaut 4 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Спал ли я? Я просто вздрогнув, очнулся.
Я давно потерял сон.
Острая потребность заснуть.
Апатия. Мне уже всё равно.
Чувства, которые ещё не умерли
Крупными, красными каплями
Льются из моей измождённой оболочки.
У меня не осталось сил.

Мне уже настолько всё равно, что я готов
Нассать прям в штаны, чтоб не вставать.
Чтоб не вставать и не идти в сортир.
Зеркало показывает, что вместо глаз
У меня две чёрные дыры.
Это из-за таблеток для сна,
Которые нихуя не помогают.
Ёбанные таблетки, они не помогают!
Может проглотить их всех
И уснуть навечно?
Соседей будет беспокоить запах моего трупа.
Таким и надо! Ненавижу этих блядей!
Ненавижу эти таблетки для сна!
Ёбанные таблетки! Они не помогают!
My joy is out of service.

That's how the bottom looks.
Emotional collapse.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Psychonaut 4's song "Sleeping Pills Suck" convey a sense of despair and hopelessness. The opening lines suggest that the singer is struggling to sleep, suffering from insomnia or a general loss of sleep. There is a sharp and urgent need to find rest, but instead, they are consumed by apathy and indifference. The emotions that haven't died within them are described as pouring out from their exhausted shell in large, red drops. The singer is drained of strength, to the point that they express a willingness to urinate in their pants just to avoid getting up and going to the toilet. The mirror reflects two black holes instead of eyes, implying a lack of vitality or a sense of emptiness.

The lyrics further reveal the frustration and disappointment with sleeping pills, which are perceived as useless ("нихуя не помогают"). The singer contemplates the possibility of swallowing all of these pills and sleeping forever, with the intention of causing inconvenience to their neighbors by leaving the smell of their corpse. This desire for self-destruction seems to stem from a deep hatred for both the pills and the people around them.

Overall, these lyrics illustrate the singer's struggle with insomnia, a loss of joy, emotional collapse, and a pervasive sense of apathy and despair. The sentiment expressed is one of darkness, self-destructive thoughts, and a rejection of the medication that fails to alleviate their suffering.
