Discover the story of the song > Insomnie – Mélanie Laurent

The protagonist is singing about another sleepless night, feeling tired and restless. They have to keep their eyes open despite feeling sleepy, and their mind is filled with negative thoughts. They describe the hours passing quickly and fading away, until suddenly there is a glimmer of hope. They then question how much longer they will have to endure this sleeplessness, regretting the time wasted on failure and regret. They express frustration at seeing their partner finally show up when their body is already giving in, and they are afraid to face the bad mood and discomfort of the night. They talk about another day of fighting and hoping, fearing the worst. They long for peace and silence, away from the chaos and noise of the world, back to the calm of the night. The song repeats the questions about how much longer they will have to endure this sleeplessness, and how many times they will have to wake up only to neglect the presence of the sun. They express cowardice and fear of facing the night's bad mood. They express frustration at waking up and seeing the evening arrive, accompanied by the neatly folded and packed insomnia.
