The word ‘duress’ means forcible restraint or restriction. I think this song is about defeat and the trials and tribulations of dealing with reality. I feel like the song is trying to convey a general sense of conflict. The subject resorts to sleeping worries away and discovers that the problem persists in wakefulness. To me it’s about an inability to conquer that which displeases you.
