Top Ten Tracks Which Emphasize Your Sleep-Deprived State
What songs sound like what you're feeling when your eyes are wide open and bloodshot at 3am?
The eerie, warped tone of this piece is exactly how an insomniac would describe their struggle to keep on track with their conscience.
A track which has actually aided my sleep very well, but hasn't worked all of the time. No track does. But whether one will get sleep or not, it doesn't go without rattling one's spine. I can't stress that enough.
Ironic how such a haunting musical piece about death, going to sleep and never awakening, feels like your cycle of enforced restlessness.
The video, like the track itself, is something for this list. The track feels eerie already, but once you look away from the video, the weirdness sticks for days.
This song really does play with your mind.
I imagine "Echoes" would, as well.
There's a feeling of decay in the backing sound here, and it is just like losing yourself.
The effect is particularly surreal with the opening lyrics: "Like the hopeless time you gave to me, I watch your dreams all slip away."
The title says it itself, and it is very fitting.
A powerful track which gets you energised when you least expect it. When you listen to this when sleep deprived, it really is weird.
Easily the mau5's darkest instrumental yet.
This scared the crap of me once when I was falling asleep.
Trippy at any time, but especially when your brain's funky due to sleep-deprivation.
