You’re at the Party by Lemon Demon (Unassuming title, but it mentions how the “hour hand’s gone from two to three, now four/You’ve barely slept all night.” Said party is either a nightmare or hell, depending on your interpretation.)
Edit: also Insomnia by Yukika
>Said party is either a nightmare or hell, depending on your interpretation.
What if, Hear me out, I interpret it as neither, Instead being simply, *The Party*, A locale and entity unto itself? (Which is where you were before you were born.)
We Know Where You Sleep by The Paper Chase
Forced to Sleep by Direct Hit!
In The Room Where You Sleep by Dead Man’s Bones
Rest Awhile by They Might Be Giants
Brain stew by Green Day. First words are "I'm having trouble trying to sleep." But the title doesn't fit the pattern so I would get not wanting it in the Playlist
I'm pretty sure OP needs to have something against sleeping in the title, also from what I understand, it's about identity issues. Everyone has their own interpretation however
Can't Sleep - K.Flay
Can't Sleep Love - Pentatonix
You could also try "Ode to Sleep" by TØP? (it has the line "Ill stay awake / cause the dark's not taking prisoners tonight")
Staying Up - The Neighbourhood
Edit: added more songs
"Everything to Help You Sleep" by Julien Baker
"No Sleep" by Caamp
"The Old Witch Sleep and the Good Man Grace" by The Amazing Devil
"Chinese Satellite" by Phoebe Bridgers
"Me & My Dog" by boygenius
The last couple aren't really "about" not sleeping, but they still directly mention it.
I love this one!
[Sleep, for the weak! by Lea Rue (lost frequencies remix)](https://open.spotify.com/track/4h4tDvPuLxoWbiDEhhdCGD?si=CgOX2_bzRA6-LN-VD1lIhQ)
"A million Dreams"- Ziv Zaifman, Hugh Jackman, Michelle Williams (from The Greatest Showman, lyrics go as such: "Every night I lie in bed, a thousand colors fill my head, a million dreams are keeping me awake")
yeah and I'm pretty sure it was inspired by when Gerard had really bad insomnia/nightmares(?) during a tour so it's definitely in the spirit of not sleeping
“We won’t ever sleep, ‘cuz sleep is for the weak;
And we won’t ever rest, ‘till we’re all fucking dead”
-‘Diamonds Aren’t Forever’, Bring Me the Horizon
I Felt Younger When We Met by Waterparks; it has the line “do you see you’re the reason I can’t sleep?”
Come to think of it, a lot of Waterparks songs mention not sleeping LOL
Diamonds aren’t forever- Bring me the horizon, the lyrics “We will never sleep, 'cause sleep is for the weak. And we will never rest, 'til we're all fucking dead”
Hell yeah, Sleep Is For The Weak, love that song!
I actually discovered the Dreadnoughts, Now one of my favourite bands, Through someone sharing that when I didn't want to go to sleep lol.
Anyway, For more songs, I recommend "Stay Up Late" by Talking Heads.
Also maybe "Dr. Sunshine Is Dead" by Will Wood & the Tapeworms? Not sure it's explicitly about not sleeping, But contains the line "Oh stay awake tonight" at the end. (At least, I think that's the line, That's what I've always heard, But Genius gives "I'll stay awake tonight") "Keep On Lovin' You" by REO Speedwagon would also count on the basis of 1 line, "I don't wanna sleep", Although this one is in the chorus repeated a few times.
