I'm sorry for you, I don't have insomnia as bad though, and I'm not rubbing it in or coming to gloat. Just keep up the good work!

I know how it feel. I also have insomnia. Unfortunately, only thing we can do is take meds or just.. deal with these restless nights. it.. really sucks for people like us. especially for me since I have school. sometimes I unfortunately have to rely on it to actually get through the day because it decided to keep me up the previous night.

Hit Me With Your Worst

hopelessly we're intertwined but for a moment, you were mine

while initially working on the concept for this album, I gravitated a lot towards writing about stars, meteors and space as metaphors for wishes and the inevitability of an ending to all things. so this song is about meteors that are fated to fall, but that the fleeting existence and the beauty in the fall (we call it a shooting star) is still something that we as humans marvel at and assign hope to through our wishes.

Fall

stars aren't made for lasting, burnt out in the end

purpose doesn't always feel inherent. if you haven't yet found it, or once you've lost it, how do you get it back? sometimes you just want to want again. I wrote about this concept in 'Castaway' also thinking about how for some objects in space, they float endlessly and never run into anything else.

Castaway

searching for something to live beyond my days

I think we only really die when someone remembers us for the last time. we live on through our stories, but I feared for so long that I had nothing worthwhile to say to the world, that I would never amount to much and be forgotten with time. but now I've learned that just being alive makes my voice worth being heard. I want to show you who I am through my writing, so let me be that fleeting melody that lingers just a bit longer in your head

Melody

but the more we go in circles, the less i wanna stay.

in writing this album, I considered a lot about how detesting someone is actually be a desire to be rid of them. a person for whom everyone else puts up with their behavior, but you see them for what they really are. egotistical, selfish, self-destructing. Icarus flying too close to the sun.

Downfall

the reason I'm drawn to the night...

June is a distanced embodiment of constantly working toward a goal that you never quite feel like you reach. for every June you make it to, there is another waiting. so I learned to be content with the journey instead. I get really bad insomnia sometimes, spending late nights writing songs that nobody but me and the stars will hear. but even so, I wouldn’t give up what I do for anything in the world. I want to give making music my all, and I would be content even if I did it just for myself and those empty nights.

Silva Hound & CG5 - Golden Eyes

what will you reach if you never try?

Since I turned 25 this year, I’ve been thinking a lot about what I would say to myself from 10 years ago, when I was in high school. The lyrics of the song are both a question to my past self, and anyone else struggling with their “desire to live”, however that can be interpreted. How we have to be brave, put in the work, and let go of the things holding us back in order to move forward. Whether it’s through finding connections with others, finding purpose for my art, or figuring out how my experiences have shaped me into who I am, all of these things are my desire to be alive.

Live

this restless motion's left me chosen as its home

ok so maybe i haven't written a full 23 songs about insomnia (it's a hyperbole) but it's a constant topic I write about in my music. i wrote this demo in 2022 at like 6am or something after being kept up for the entire night by my insomnia. i've had bits and pieces of these lyrics written during different nights where I barely slept.
