I can link to this song completely, considering the fact I actually have Narcolepsy.
Line1-�I�m on a train, but there�s no one at the helm�-The literal meaning of this line is the guy is on a train, but there�s no one steering or in control of it. In the song, the train represents life. He�s saying that he feels like he�s going crazy and he�s not in control of himself and he lacks direction.
And theres a demon in my brain
I try to swim beneath
But I, I can feel this narcolepsy slide into another nightmare. (I've done a lot of research on REM sleep and Narcolepsy, Narcolepsy is a sleeping disorder where instead of getting restful sleep before you go into REM sleep, you just go immediately into REM sleep right when you fall asleep, and the whole reason you go into REM sleep and dream is becuase your brain is turning your experiences from that day into memories, and so for Narcoleptics, like me, you have an overactive imagination, and can feel everything in your dreams, and you sometimes dream about bad things that happened to you in the past, for instance, I almost drowned when I was 7 years old, and every now and then I'll have a dream where I am drowning in water, and I literally cant breath, and when I wake up I start breathing heavily cause my brain actually thought I was drowning. And like the guy above said, I have sleep paralysis like Kevin does, except I get it as I'm falling asleep, so I'll start dozing off and dreaming that I'm in my room and someone comes in trying to hurt me, and I cant move or scream or anything except blink my eyes... This is the scariest experience anyone could ever have cause of how realistic it is. Plus, I have a hard time some days keeping myself awake, and it pisses me off so much when I get tired, and doze off. I have had Narcolepsy for 4 years now, and I've learned to cope with it. Everything but a symptom I have called Cataplexy, which has an unknown cause but is linked to Narcolepsy, and what it is, is whenever I experience a strong emotion (laughing is the worst) my muscles will give out on me if I dont take my meds, and if im sitting down I am paralyzed for a minute or 2 until it dies down, I look like Im sleeping so people think I fell asleep, when in reality I'm perfectly concious and everything, I just cant move anything but a couple of my fingers and my tongue, but you can still see me smile cause I'm still laughing. So yes this song may mean something to all you guys, but I know for a fact this song definately represents Narcolepsy whole heartedly, coming from a Narcoleptic :) )
And theres a demon in my head who starts to play A nightmare tape loop of what went wrong yesterday.�I try to keep awake� x3-You know when you�re trying to remember something so you say it to yourself over and over again? That�s like what he�s saying here.
�I read dead Russian authors volumes at a time�-He reads long books to try to keep awake.
�I write everything down except what�s on my mind�-He knows that if he writes what�s on his mind, he will write about the nightmares.
�Cause my greatest fear is that sucking sound And then I know that I�ll never get back out�-The sucking sound is like getting sucked into a whirlpool where he is trapped inside his nightmares.
�And there�s a bone in my hand that connects to a drink In a crowded room where the glasses clink� His hand always seems to have a drink in it because drinking helps him to not fall asleep. And a crowded room always would keep me from falling asleep too.
