PERIPHERY
- Insomnia Lyrics / with translationsThough you can give no more inspiring false security
I've got the reason to alter belief
Selfish paintings diamonds mutilate
You can't erase the way I'm unappreciated
But I can't sleep tonight
Embrace of the drink
Be hollow, swallow the pain
Splitting the fields
All the noise agitates
The stars have not aligned in your favor
Cross the line of obscenity
Ignoring the signs
The smoke in your eyes
Carelessly
Look to find a way, to love all the past promises, to keep you washed away.
Sever the ties
Broken by the black and white
Now fade away
The stars have not aligned in your favor
Cross the line of obscenity
Ignoring the signs
The smoke in your eyes
Carelessly
Look to find a way, to love all the past promises, to keep you washed away.
Laid in the ground
Were lost far beyond the clouds
Staring in the darks of hell, it's me.
Along the edge of belief
A heart always in the stars will never fade
Decay in the ground
Were lost far beyond the clouds
Pray in the dark for now
Prey on the sounds
And silence the darks around
Reach for a spark of doubt alive
I've got the reason to alter belief
Selfish paintings diamonds mutilate
You can't erase the way I'm unappreciated
But I can't sleep tonight
Embrace of the drink
Be hollow, swallow the pain
Splitting the fields
All the noise agitates
The stars have not aligned in your favor
Cross the line of obscenity
Ignoring the signs
The smoke in your eyes
Carelessly
Look to find a way, to love all the past promises, to keep you washed away.
Sever the ties
Broken by the black and white
Now fade away
Cross the line of obscenity
Ignoring the signs
The smoke in your eyes
Carelessly
Look to find a way, to love all the past promises, to keep you washed away.
Laid in the ground
Were lost far beyond the clouds
Staring in the darks of hell, it's me.
Along the edge of belief
A heart always in the stars will never fade
Decay in the ground
Were lost far beyond the clouds
Pray in the dark for now
Prey on the sounds
And silence the darks around
Reach for a spark of doubt alive
Facts about Insomnia
✔️
Insomnia is written by Rollo Armstrong, Alexander Fraser Maxwell, Ayalah Deborah Bentovim.
✔️
It is first released on April 20, 2010 as part of Periphery's album "Periphery" which includes 12 tracks in total. This song is the opening track on this album.
✔️
When we ask ourselves what the song was truly meant to express, Periphery's 'Insomnia' narrates a person's journey through feeling underappreciated and dealing with the distress within. The singing brings up the motif of isolation due to insomnia, and this is very well intertwined with the desire of the person to cut off ties and get over the past but ironically the person can't find peace. The lyrics of insomniac mainly illustrate the emotions of angst, heartbreak, despair, reflection, and solitude. The song, however, amplifies the themes of worthlessness, escapism, coping mechanisms, lost chances and regret, and facing the reality as well. The lyrics portray very mature topics and sometimes they go as far as mentioning things that are borderline inappropriate for kids below 13, among these are feelings of being unappreciated, drug-related activities, and reflecting on one's existence. Even though the lyrics are not very explicit, the language and the topics still point out a certain complexity that might need parents' guidance.
