At The Gates Of Sleep Lyrics

Cover art for At The Gates Of Sleep lyrics by Insomnium

yeah insomnium lyrics are beautifully and elegantly doomy.... typical melodic finnish death metal

this by far has to be thee most beautiful song of this album!

interesting analogy with the suicide. i was thinking it had more to do with someone who has endured so much torment and pain in his life that all he seeks is rest. death never does solve anything and i don't think insomnium portray suicide to be the key in their art. for me, this song focuses on this moment of relief and how welcoming this relief is.. when we dream we feel and experience whatever the mind wants to. for me, this moment of sleep provides this temporary cure to all his troubles and focuses on that moment just before he does fall asleep.. its rather simple but that what makes it even more stunning - Insomnium's ability to make something so beautifully powerful and intense in simplicity....

this is all just what i think anyway.
