I've had Narcolepsy for the past 8yrs. This song is about Sleep Paralysis. It's one of many symptoms of Narcolepsy that cause you to lose control of your body. When you get sleep paralysis your mind is between conciousness and sleep, but your body is completely paralyzed as it is when you are in deep sleep so that you don't act out your dreams. It's the feeling of being alone and drowning: mortal fear, complete lack of control, and the inability to escape. Sliding into a nightmare is what the anxiety of falling asleep during daily life is like, especially in the many public situations in which uncontrollable sleep is inappropriate. Walking around and getting cataplexy is another way that Narcolepsy causes you to lose control of your body, you lose muscle control in response to emotional stimulations, like a train with no one at the helm when a feeling starts to overwhelm.
