      That’s because a lot of people are very ignorant and uneducated and think that metal is just screaming and angry. When so many types are the complete opposite. You are right it is very sad but so many people are missing out on such wonderful music.

    I was a senior in high school when this song was released, and I absolutely loved it. But it wasn't until my mid 20's when i fully understood what this song meant. As a kid I grew up with parents who treated me like dirt. I had friends who were never there for me. I'd count down the days until I could leave, and start my own life. And now as an adult I can't help but to look back; all those emotions, feelings, and pain come rushing back as if they never left. I can't help but thinking if things could've been different. This song is therapeutic and reminds me not to dwell on the past, but to live in the moment. And I'm currently the happiest I've ever been. I'm married to the woman of my dreams, I'll be a homeowner in a few months, and when the time is right we'll be starting a family of our own

      Yeah I understand that, it can energize me sometimes, keep me going sometimes, and it has really helped me stay strong through some crazy difficult times. It also is just the music I want sometimes. I am amazed at how I have sensitive ears but still like metal, I would bring musician/concert earplugs which reduce noise volume while keeping sound very similar. There are so many different types of metal even now and I like lots of metal. I do like many genres though.

    INSOMNIUM - While We Sleep lyrics:
    When your heart gives out and your love collapses
    When the hand that never lets go is there no more
    When you reap and sow only throe and resentment
    When there's no one else but you to blame for
    When all you ever wish for is to go back once more
    When all you ever wish for is to change it all
    When all you feel is remorse, pain and regret
    When you dwell in the past unable to move on
    And we drift far away in our dreams
    Gather further distance while we sleep
    Build a wall of glass thick and deep
    We hear but choose not to listen
    And we drift far away in our dreams
    Gather further distance while we sleep
    Set all the bridges in flaming fire
    Leave all the love we had behind
    When you realize that your life is a one-way road
    When you realize that there's no point of return
    When you understand that you can't go back anymore
    When you understand you can only move onwards
    And we drift far away in our dreams
    Gather further distance while we sleep
    Build a wall of glass thick and deep
    We hear but choose not to listen
    And we drift far away in our dreams
    Gather further distance while we sleep
    Set all the bridges in flaming fire
    Leave all the love we had behind
    Slow down
    We need to slow down
    We need to slow down so I can catch you
    We need to slow down so I can catch you
    We need to slow down so you can catch me
    We need to slow down so I can catch you
    We need to slow down so you can catch me
    Slow down
    Thanks Insomnium .

This album was always blasting along with other amazing metal bands. We ended up going to prom together and blasted this in the limo on the way there. Its 2019 and were still together and still blasting this amazing album constantly. 🤘

      Wintersun can't touch Insomnium. Their self-titled release was good, Time was decent but overdone, and Jari is a whiny ass. Insomnium; however, has been consistently putting out solid albums, my favourite being ATWW. I may not like the recent albums as much, but they've all got great standout hits and are all cohesive, and Winter's Gate blew everyone out of the water.

    When all you ever wish for is to change it all
    When all you feel is remorse, pain and regret
    When you dwell in the past unable to move on
    And we drift far away in our dreams
    Gather further distance while we sleep
    Build a wall of glass thick and deep
    We hear but choose not to listen
    And we drift far away in our dreams
    Gather further distance while we sleep
    Still the bridge is enflamed with fire
    Leave all the love we had behind
    When you realize that your life is a one-way road
    When you realize that there's no point of return
    When you understand that you can't go back anymore
    When you understand you can only move onwards
    And we drift far away in our dreams
    Gather further distance while we sleep
    Build a wall of glass thick and deep
    We hear but choose not to listen
    And we drift far away in our dreams
    Gather further distance while we sleep
    Still the bridge is enflamed with fire
    Leave all the love we had behind
    Slow down
    We need to slow down
    We need to slow down so I can catch you
    We need to slow down so I can catch you
    We need to slow down so you can catch me
    We need to slow down so I can catch you
    We need to slow down so you can catch me
    Slow down

Why can't we just stop and talk with one another with love, compassion and faith randomly in public anymore? Why are we afraid of each other? We don't take the time to find the humanity in each other because we are swiping away on social media platforms that expose us to hate and divisive concepts. We need to slow down. So I can catch you. We need to slow down. So you can catch me.

    Lyrics:
    When your heart gives out and your love collapses
    When the hand that never lets go is there no more
    When you reap and sow only throe and resentment
    When there's no one else but you to blame it for
    When all you ever wish for is to go back once more
    When all you ever wish for is to change it all
    When all you feel is remorse, pain and regret
    When you dwell in the past unable to move on
    And we drift far away in our dreams
    Gather further distance while we sleep
    Build a wall of glass thick and deep
    We hear but choose not to listen
    And we drift far away in our dreams
    Gather further distance while we sleep
    Still the bridge is inflamed with fire
    Leave all the love we had behind
    When you realize that your life is a one-way road
    When you realize that there's no point of return
    When you understand that you can't go back anymore
    When you understand you can only move onwards
    And we drift far away in our dreams
    Gather further distance while we sleep
    Build a wall of glass thick and deep
    We hear but choose not to listen
    And we drift far away in our dreams
    Gather further distance while we sleep
    Still the bridge is enflamed with fire
    Leave all the love we had behind
    Slow down
    We need to slow down
    We need to slow down so I can catch you
    We need to slow down so I can catch you
    We need to slow down so you can catch me
    We need to slow down so I can catch you

    One and a half million views does not even begin to compare to other hugely popular but monotonous pop songs. That is not fair, I blame the teens with too much free time on their hands :D

      A teen with too much free time on their hands here. It saddens me that the vast majority of people in my age group would rather listen to the extremely dumbed-down lyrically, and almost cringy relationship orientated, pop singers, which only gained their immense popularity through their decent looks, lacking both talent and personality, I'm looking at you, Kayne. Well, now that I have exposed everything I dislike about modern-pop music, I think get back to listening to Insomnium.

      +MLG Pengu Yeah, but to be honest when you watch some singing contests on TV you quickly realize that the pop stars are stars for a reason. Many of the modern hit songs sound easy, but when you try to sing them yourself it just doesn't work at all. It's a myth that pop stars cannot sing. They can. At least most of them.

      It´s even more difficult to sing the metal versions of those songs, let alone play the instruments. Isn´t it?

      I think it's partially the media's fault,they only make things popular that they want you to like.
