The piece consists of lyrics and melody fragments. All the lyrics are questions we&nbsp;ask ourselves at night, when we&nbsp;can&#8217;t fall asleep. The aim of the composition was to&nbsp;create a&nbsp;piece that is very calm, soporific in form, yet unsettling in content.<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span>The questions, when added together, will wake you up in a&nbsp;revolutionary mood. If we&nbsp;all can&#8217;t sleep because of worries, if we&#8217;re overworked and overtired, if we&nbsp;question the meaning of our lives so much and can&#8217;t find peace at night, isn&#8217;t it time for a&nbsp;change?
