Cover art for Sleepflower lyrics by Manic Street Preachers

good analysis.

i actually didn't like the lyrics very much, just the sound because it seemed as if some of the words were strung together just to sound miserable-- and therefore i could hardly understand the meaning unless i had bad insomnia problems myself.

but now that someone who understands the problem analyzes it it makes more sense.

Insomnia feels very much like that, it's a living hell and you feel tired and weak all the time.
