Meaning
This reads as a picture of insomnia shaped by unresolved worry. It suggests that rest does not automatically bring relief, because the mind keeps running once the world grows quiet, and the very stillness of night can make problems feel larger. It lands for anyone who has lain awake replaying the day, when silence turns thought into something heavier.
