Insomnia
The Rose Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wish you told me
날 잡아줘요
마지못한 척 돌아갈게요

다 잊은 줄 알았던 그 기억
나를 어느새 집어삼키고
Where are you now?
Just go away
Stay here in my heart
Just go away
Stay here in my heart

내가 날 모르겠어
흔들림 속 어딘가 서있는 나
이미 너에겐 지나갔을 뿐이야

I can't sleep
날 잡아줘요
I can't sleep
돌아갈게요

I know I'm stupid
뭘 어떡하죠
하지 못한 게 너무 많네요

눈을 감고 별을 세어봐도
오지 않는 잠에 또 설치고
Why are you still here?

Just go away
Stay here in my heart
Just go away
Stay here in my heart

내가 날 모르겠어
흔들림 속 어딘가 서있는 나
이미 너에겐
지나갔을 뿐이야 I can't sleep

홀로 남아서 시간은 지나고 또
어김없이 네 생각에 잠 못 이뤄
꿈에서라도 악몽일지라도 난
I want to see you

Just go away
You're standing in my heart
Just go away
Just go away

내가 날 모르겠어
흔들림 속 어딘가 서있는 나
이미 너에겐 지나갔을 뿐이야

I can't sleep
날 잡아줘요
I can't sleep
돌아갈게요

I can't sleep
뭘 어떡하죠
I can't sleep
너뿐이에요





I know it's over
잘 지내겠죠

Overall Meaning

The Rose's song "Insomnia" is a heart-wrenching ballad about the pain of not being able to let go of someone you love. The song starts with the singer wishing that the person they miss would come back to them, even if it means pretending that their past never happened. The lyrics talk about a memory that they thought they had forgotten, which came rushing back and consumed them. They wonder where the person they love is now and why they can't seem to let go.


The chorus of the song repeats "I can't sleep" several times, describing the restless nights spent thinking about the person they love. They acknowledge their stupidity in not being able to move on and the fact that they are haunted by their thoughts even when they try to fall asleep. They ask the person to come back to them, to hold them tight and help them move past their insomnia.


The lyrics of "Insomnia" are poignant and relatable, capturing the experience of heartbreak and the struggle to let go of someone you still love. The song's simple melody is haunting, and the use of repetition in the chorus perfectly illustrates the overwhelming feeling of being unable to sleep, think, or move on.

Probably my most favorite song out of their Dawn album because of the lyrics... (although all their songs ARE AMAZING)
I MADE LYRIC VIDEOS FOR THEIR WHOLE ALBUM (excluding the instrumental track):

TRACK 1 ---> I DON'T KNOW YOU (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=si447EV5FMs)
TRACK 2 ---> SHE'S IN THE RAIN (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7Z4bAd93H8)
TRACK 3 ---> TAKE ME DOWN (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8L22cFc3Mg)
♪♫♬ TRACK 4 ---> INSOMNIA (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s50x7bRiv9M)
