Epica - Chemical Insomnia Lyrics
Everlasting nights leave all views behind
Limits will become less clear and
A misty memory played out in a dream
This endeavor is causing fear
This is stabbing pain
Come undone in nightly rhyming
It's time for me to roll the dice
Absent sanctity is shifting gravity
Addiction's growing faster, making you go insane
Ivory fangs are smiling, you'll have to break the habit
Imprisonment's approaching, catching the savages
The mirror's magic showing chemical insomnia
Don't give in to all of this
Dive into ecstatic bliss
Tame the lion that's hiding the need to be free
Waking sunset finds, making restless minds
Wistful moments need enclosure
A new hysteria is fading gravity
Which is slowly taking over
That's why I can't unwind
All thoughts aligned
Floating on rivers that are drying
I fear the beast is rising high
Your intuition's fading, a thumping sound impedes
The daybreak is awaking chemical insomnia
Don't give in to all of this
Dive into ecstatic bliss
Don't you believe what the sands of time see
Tame the lion that's hiding the need to be free
And the monsters that consume your energy
Your barbaric puppets live between the cracks of lies from hate revived
Silver secrets shining through the night
An enslaved fool in search of burning light from medicine contrived
Golden treasures turning off the lights
Forbidden fruit tastes better when it can numb the brain
The outcome of the future is looking quite insane
White bricks and darkened stones are building the fundament
The silence's calling out for chemical insomnia
Don't give in to all of this
Dive into ecstatic bliss
Tame the lion that's hiding the need to be free
And you should not believe what the sands of time see
Free the lion that's hiding your identity
Fight the monsters that consume your entity

Epica Chemical Insomnia Comments
wy are u all feel pain? as for me observation and awakeness gives only clearity which means mood that we claim hapiness
Those high notes 😍😍 I live to sing like that. This music is my Zen honestly. Love it!
666 like. 🤘😜
This is trash
Whatever. Go back to listening to your gay Justin Bieber music!
There are 2 trashy things in this comment section.
1. You
2. Your stupid taste in music.
Let me guess... You're one of these "intellectual" music tasters that think Jazz or another "not-so-mainstream-weird-attention-begger-wave" sound is superior to any other kind of genres.
Your moom is trash!!!
You're a piece of shit.
Sounds like Slayer - South Of Heaven :-)
That song and The Essence Of Silence are one of the few songs I can play on repeat for two days straight. That last chorus makes me shiver.
AWESOME! ❤❤❤
my favorite from The Quantum Enigma..
may be, the all songs this album looks same in intro or this drum
"We worship the silent." - Impending Doom, Chaos Reborn.
This song was created for Jukka from Nightwish cause he is suffering from Insomnia and had to stop his career for a while........
nope. this song was not written because of Jukka. It's basically about Simone during the recording of the album while she's taking care of her kid. Yes, they also dedicated this song to Jukka on a single FB post.
one of the most slept on masterpieces out today. This band is Epic and worthy of the name. This is probably my favorite on quantum but essence of silence is epic too... hell idk enjoy the record its the band Epica and their Epic...
@rockingmamma you are correct all the tracks are dope. There are very few albums I can say that I don't skip tracks and this is one of them. Glad you like the album 2 😉 hell I'm still listening to this album on a regular basis the sound is just Unbelievable 😲
-IAMFIDEL
@IAMFIDEL I know what you mean. At the moment, I cant think of a CD where I liked all the songs. Granted, there are some I like more than others here, but I like them all.
Personally I always thought that this was epica's "octopus's garden", a song that is too goofy, and has no place on the album when it has nothing to do with the theme of album which is quatuam physics, and philosophy.
P.S that is how the Beatles spelled the song.
I mean, I might have to argue in favor of the Interlude, the 5th Guardian. XD
I do love the album though. :D
"The Quantum Enigma" album concept deals with human mind. Granted the title itself may pose topics regarding quantum physics particularly with the Double-slit experiment, the band stated that it involves things surrounding one's mind, psychologically, spiritually, chemically, virtually and realistically, and the concept of life. Take for an example, 'Second Stone" which is about Alzheimer's disease, a sickness of the mind. "The Essence of Silence" which deals with meditation and the power of spiritualism, a Buddhist doctrine to ease and relax one's mind from thoughts, "Sense Without Sanity" which deals about the concept of death on a perspective of a human mind, and this one, "Chemical Insomnia" which is about taking sleeping plls and its deleterious effect on one's own mind.
epic song
