Insomnia

The song 'Insomnia' by The Moss delves into the emotional turmoil and intense feelings that come with being deeply in love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who is overwhelmed by their emotions, to the point where they are unable to eat or sleep. This state of 'paralysis' and dissatisfaction suggests a sense of helplessness and vulnerability, common in the early stages of a passionate relationship.

The repeated lines 'I can’t eat baby I can’t sleep / And the only thing I can think about is you' highlight the obsessive nature of the narrator's feelings. This obsession is further emphasized by the physical reactions described, such as a pounding heart and inflating lungs, which contrast sharply with the feeling of being 'dead' when their loved one is not around. This juxtaposition underscores the intensity of their emotions and the dependency they feel on their partner's presence.

The chorus, 'Waking up next to you / It feels too good to be true,' captures the disbelief and awe that often accompany new love. The narrator is both thrilled and terrified by the depth of their feelings, which is a common experience for many people when they first fall in love. The song's title, 'Insomnia,' aptly reflects the sleepless nights and restless thoughts that come with such intense emotions, making it a relatable anthem for anyone who has experienced the highs and lows of love.
