Insomnia

ZAYN ZAYN

The Restless Echoes of a Dreamer's Heart

ZAYN's song "Insomnia" delves into the restless and tormented state of an individual grappling with the absence of a loved one and the impact of success on personal happiness. The lyrics paint a picture of sleepless nights and a mind that cannot find peace, suggesting a deep emotional turmoil. The repetition of the phrase 'I can't find no peace' emphasizes the constant state of unrest and the struggle to find solace in the wake of a possible separation or loss.

The song also touches on the theme of success and its hollow nature when disconnected from emotional fulfillment. ZAYN mentions creating hits, yet this achievement is overshadowed by the lingering question of why hearts deceive us and the uncertainty of a return from the person he waits for. This juxtaposition of professional triumph and personal dissatisfaction highlights the complex relationship between external accomplishments and internal contentment.

Lastly, the recurring motif of 'the night calls the dreamers' suggests a connection between the darkness of night and the realm of dreams, where the heart's deepest desires and fears come to life. It's a call to those who find themselves awake in the stillness of the night, wrestling with their thoughts and yearning for answers that may never come. The song resonates with anyone who has experienced the haunting nature of insomnia, where the silence of the night amplifies the noise within.
