hes talking about being up for so many days on the medicine other words crystal for you dumbass and when your tweaking you never want to sleep and when you do sleep you dream really fucked up dreams and you loose what day it is and fell like life passed by really sucks but thats why you dont come down
narcolpesy is a terrible desease. im also a patient and lucky that im not the worst off. i found this on a narcolepsy website and just had to command that its SO DAMN AMAZING that there is a song about this ilness!!!!!
*hardly anyone ((in our country)) knows about this desease so...*
i completely agree. i also have narcolepsy and i was happy to find a good song that wasn't making fun of it. barely anyone understands what the disease really is.
Why is it the 90s gets Third Eye Blind and the 00s gets Nickelback? I'm technically a 90s kid but far too young to have listened to any music in that era
I remember riding around with my uncles and listening to this album when I was like 9. Nothing beats the 90's. Glad I got to experience that awesome decade..
I think this is 3EB's best song. Well at least it's my favorite. I absolutely love Steven's voice in the first verse. Then I get pumped throughout the rest!
THIS is my new favorite song from the band I've adored since the beginning. I even owned this cd at one time but now I'm just happy to hear these tracks on YT-- and I love reading all your comments
This song is my father in a nutshell. Beer is his great equalizer and prevents him from falling asleep, or helps him stay awake, oddly enough. Seeing him live with it for so many years now, it's easy to imagine this process in his head.
As someone who has narcolepsy, I can totally relate to this song. Oddly enough this song came out about the same time I was first diagnosed, and it made me cry. Still does sometimes, but I love it.
@zizwop I just heard this song for the first time. It definitely describes the nightmare of living without it treated properly. Are you on Xyrem? It has been a miracle for me. NO MORE DAYTIME SLEEPINESS!! I am a completely different person now, actually living life rather than sleeping all the damn time.
@queenvelvet Yes, I was actually in several clinical trials for Xyrem-works great, better than anything I have ever taken for narcolepsy. I currently have no medical insurance and cannot afford the medication, would be really nice to have that right now.
@CoolConejo Not sure what you mean about passing out-if you are referring to what the doctors call a 'sleep attack' -then yes, I dream. I always dream-sometimes it's ok, but many times it isn't. Because Narcolepsy is characterized by the ability to hit the REM phase with the onset of sleep-we dream, and it's vivid. This is what makes the song even more powerful, while just having it is the nightmare, we are no strangers to actual nightmares.
@cocainebuffet I don't know if you're cracking a joke or not, but because of Narcolepsy, I have VERY vivid dreams, nightmares that would make you piss your pants, almost nightly, and the overall nightmare of dealing with something that not many people understand-at all, hence the line, how'd you like to be alone and drowning, that's EXACTLY how I feel, and it's not fun.
@cocainebuffet No, it's not. If you had ever experienced symptoms associated with narcolepsy, it would make a lot more sense. The song writer had experienced something called sleep paralysis, which I have quite often, along with other characteristics like hypnogogic hallucinations, i.e., the vivid nightmares. So he wrote a song about it. Did this happen because he was high? Probably not as you would just typically pass out-something I would rather have than this other crap.
@zizwop as weird as it may be, i am someone with narcolepsy too, havent had it as long as you, but i do have it and know where you are coming from. however that cocaine guy there...just forget him. drug heads dont understand it. i added one...i will admitt that he did try, really hard. but you cant understand it unless you have it.
Nacrcolepsy, characterized by being drowsy or fall asleep or just be very tired throughout the day, often at inappropriate times and places. Daytime naps may occur with little warning and may be physically irresistible. These naps can occur several times a day. They are typically refreshing, but only for a few hours. Drowsiness may persist for prolonged periods of time. In addition, night time sleep may be fragmented with frequent awakenings.
Yeah, I have automatic behaviors, twitches, shakes, chills, stretches. I do things I have no recollection of. The lyrics to this song describe the pain of narcolepsy very very well. There is no rest, you run on autopilot for years. The people around you think you are lucid and you are not. You feel uncomfortable 100% of the time. You lose track of long periods of time. You mix up your dreams and reality. Relationships are too painful and do not last. Sometimes you will beg for death.
Did anyone know that narcolepsy has a common symptom known as automatic behavior?Which is subconsciously spitting out words and shit and not remembering what you said after.
My girl just left after 7 years living together for another guy. I don't sleep much but i love 3EB.
This has been my fave band for about ten years. Their songs never fail to take on new meaning no matter how many times i listen to them. But OOTV is a much lower quality of workmanship than their old stuff.
theres a demon in my head that starts to play a nightmare tape of what went wrong yesterday love that part
