Through months and months of listening to this and the other two HLH singles, I've come to realize that their songs romanticize everything. This song is about insomnia, interpreted in a very imaginative way.
"Sleeplessness is for the restless."
"The lights are out, but I walk these halls the way I've walked before."
"Cast the sheep out of your mind, count the wolves and we'll sleep tonight."
Basically, it describes how he goes from having too many things going through his head and not wanting to be restless, to practically being scared into sleep by how different things are than usual. If that makes any sense? Instead of going to sleep in peace, he goes in fear, and I think it all ties in to all of the restlessness and creativity that illustrates the rest of the setting.
