INSOMNIA
xenobiotic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Help me, the ache proceeds through
My conscious as I pick up the pieces
Screaming out in dire need to make sense of it all
Where are you? Where have you been?
My hands are shaking and a taste so foul all over my tongue
The sound of baleful whispers echo in the back of my head
Crawling from the floor, I can hear behind the door
My sense of self erasing
Far from here I can barely see the sky
I'm falling through as I start retracing steps
Through places that we've never been
In search of unwritten pages ripped from living memory
Inside my mind struggles to escape this chasm filled with
Pain Preconceived notions merge to create visions of disdain
My conscious is drifting
I feel a void that peels back conniptions
Eroding through fragments past and present
I feel split in two
So dulcet the whisper as it emerges to reanimate
Fictitious imaginary portraits of things that cannot be
How lonely the wind blows, as we fall hand in hand
Help me, the ache proceeds through
My conscious as I pick up the pieces
Screaming out in dire need to make sense of it all
Where are you? Where have you been?
My hands are shaking and a taste so foul all over my tongue
The sound of baleful whispers echo in the back of my head
(Nestled away, my sanity is clinging to life)
(Nestled away, my sanity is clinging to life)
Am I the one to blame?
My mind is broken
My heart in chains
My heart is broken
Am I the one to blame?
My mind is broken
My heart in chains
Am I the one to blame?

The first verse describes an overwhelming feeling of silence that is filling the air, and it is causing the singer great distress. They are trying to make sense of the situation but are struggling to do so. The second half of the verse describes the singer's struggle with a foul taste in their mouth while they hear disturbing whispers in their head.

In the second verse, the singer seems to be losing touch with reality. They describe crawling on the floor and hearing things that are not really there. The singer speaks of retracing steps they've never taken before, as if their mind is playing tricks on them. The final verses reveal that the singer is succumbing to a mental breakdown. They question whether they are to blame for their current state of mind, as their thoughts and emotions are in disarray. The lyrics express how overwhelming emotional pain can be and the subsequent struggle to hold onto one's sanity.
