INSOMNIA
Telehope Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The silence fills the space
I feel I might go insane
I think I feel like the stars
Drowned by darkness, so far apart
There's silence worst of all
You heard my cry
You spoke to my soul
I'll tell the curse goodbye
You set me free
You gave me life
Added purpose to those nights
I'll tell the curse goodbye
(Goodbye, goodbye)
A single note is all alone
Together we create so much more
(More)
So much more
So much more
So much more
So much more
The song "Insomnia" by Telehope expresses a feeling of restlessness and isolation that comes with sleeplessness. The opening lines "A hundred hours I can't replace, the silence fills the space, I feel I might go insane" reveal the singer's desperation for relief from their insomnia. The silence and emptiness they experience in the middle of the night only amplifies the intensity of their emotions. The simile "I think I feel like the stars, drowned by darkness, so far apart" adds to this sense of isolation - stars are typically bright and connected to each other, but in this comparison, they are lonely and misunderstood.
However, the chorus brings hope to this otherwise dark song. The lyrics "You saved me, you heard my cry, you spoke to my soul, I'll tell the curse goodbye" suggest that the singer has found salvation in someone else, possibly a lover or a friend. The curse of insomnia is lifted, and the singer's life is given a new purpose. The line "A single note is all alone, together we create so much more" reinforces this idea of finding meaning in companionship - what seemed insignificant before (the single note) becomes significant and beautiful when combined with others.
Overall, "Insomnia" is a powerful and emotional song that captures the struggles of those who experience sleeplessness. It also emphasizes the importance of relationships in finding meaning and purpose in life.
