Insomnia
Rupee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your karma has come
To settle the score with you
You're sneaking, you're crawling
Into the ground
Eyes open wide and blue
Insomnia
Insomnia
Closer, but no closer
The night you were laid
You had it made
When everyone fell into place
Higher and higher
Too fast to miss a beat
Body and bones as well
Insomnia
Burning like a hell
Insomnia
Oh, burning, yes, burning like a hell
Where does it come from
Where does it go
Throwing over your sleep?
Walking and talking
Dancing 'till dawn
Insomnia
Waiting to get you
Insomnia
Waiting to get you.
Waiting to, waiting to get you, inso...
Waiting to, waiting to get you, inso...
Don't let it, don't let it, inso...
Don't let it, don't let it
Don't let it get you
The song "Insomnia" by Rupee talks about the consequences of one's actions in life. The song begins by stating that when someone does wrong to another person, their karma catches up to them. The person feels guilty and sneaks around, crawling into the ground, but their actions don't go unnoticed. The lyrics "Eyes open wide and blue" suggest that the person is aware of their mistakes and cannot escape their own consciousness. The chorus "Insomnia, Closer but no closer," repeats constantly to emphasize the mental state of the person who has committed the wrong. The person is aware of their actions but cannot escape the guilt that comes with it.
The second verse talks about how the person felt invincible when they committed the wrong. They had all their moves planned, and nothing could stop them. The lyrics "Higher and higher. Too fast to miss a beat, Body and bones as well" suggest that the person was moving fast without any second thoughts. The chorus "Insomnia, Burning like a hell" not only conveys the inability to escape the mental turmoil, but it also refers to the physical and emotional pain that the person is experiencing. Towards the end of the song, the lyrics "Waiting to get you, Insomnia, Waiting to get you" signify that the person is waiting for a moment of redemption from their suffering.
Overall, the song "Insomnia" by Rupee highlights the mental and emotional agony that comes with the guilt of committing a wrong. The lyrics convey that no matter how hard someone tries to escape their own conscious, the guilt eventually catches up to them.
