| IAMX – Insomnia Lyrics | 9 years ago |
|
I love this song because I relate a little to it. I think it's pretty much about an anxiety person that have a low self-steem problem and beside living a messy life, finds someone worthy that is like a bright light in the darkest night. I believe Chris suffers from anxiety and he probably have insomnia because of it. It says that he used to abuse substances or sex in order to sleep (where will I end up tonight? Getting fucked or frying my mind) and he totally lost control of his life. And by this time his life was a mess, he met someone who understood him ("you walk into my night" probably have a double meaning, both about the night time that relates to sleeping and the dark times of his life). So he turned to this person as a saviour, in a hope that she could help him get over all of it. And this person knew him deeply enought to see how that anxiety made him fragile despite the image he tried to maintain (I'm just a bigger baby me/ acting smart oh what irony). Beeing in such a low times, he probably was dealing with low self-steem by that time and was astonished at how such a person could be with someone like him. |

I believe this song is about how Christ dealt to losing his faith. At first, it seems he was desoriented, sad, feeling empty and trying to find something to fill the empty space where God used to be in the world for him (chasing shadows). This emptiness led to anger against religion, that he came to the conclusion that is just a fairy tale that prevents people to live their lifes to the fullest. Also, not finding any anwser to the meaning of life and all that kind of complex questions, he turned to nihilism and hedonism (we can always just fuck away our sorrows / mouth to mouth we thrive / We've got everything we need to survive). The last part seems to be about the judgement he received from religious people (You fucking sinner!) but it never changed his mind. I might be totally wrong, I don't know much about Chris life, but that's pretty much how I felt as an atheist as well as some other atheists that I know of. |
