♪♫▪ The title is inspired by the name of a disease, narcolepsy, which is a disease that manifests itself daily in bouts of sleep that can't be controlled.
♪♫▪ The song describes a relationship that is getting bogged down, where routine and contempt have set in, and from which it's necessary to regain control in order not to let things fall inexorably asleep or to realise that it is necessary to face things instead of remaining in a state of lethargy in a relationship that leads nowhere, where love is dead.
♪♫▪ Like ๐๐ฉ๐๐๐ข๐๐ฅ ๐, ๐๐๐ซ๐๐จ๐ฅ๐๐ญ๐ฉ๐ข๐ uses the metaphor of drugs to parallel the drowsy state in which the character finds him or herself and the love situation that is obviously coming to an end, and which the character doesn't realise, or doesn't want to realise.

๐ Appearing at the tail-end of 2000’s experimental ‘Black Market Music’ album, ‘Narcoleptic’ uses the disorder as a metaphor for the stupor brought on by drug abuse, with a lackadaisical arrangement of lilting drums and meandering guitar suiting the mood perfectly. Here’s what Brian said “๐ท๐๐ข๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ค ๐๐๐ ๐กโ๐๐ฆ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐ฆ๐๐ข ๐๐๐๐๐๐ก ๐๐๐๐ข๐ก ๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐ฆ ๐กโ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐กโ๐๐ฆ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐ฆ๐๐ข ๐๐๐๐๐๐ก ๐๐๐๐ข๐ก ๐๐๐ฃ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐ข๐ก ๐ฆ๐๐ข ๐๐๐ก๐ ๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ข๐๐๐ ๐ก ๐ ๐ก๐๐ก๐, ๐๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐ค๐๐๐๐๐๐.”

๐ฌ When I first wrote down the tracklisting of the album, I wrote underneath each track a second title. They didn't make their way on to the album, but they were a summing up in one phrase of what those songs represent to me. And the one I wrote for "Narcoleptic" was "Love And Drugs Are One Big Pillow". Again, like "Special K", it explores the link between drugs and love. "Special K" is uppers and the rush of falling in love. "Narcoleptic" is more like downers and more like relationships, relationships that reach that point of familiarity breeding contempt.
✔️ ๐ฑ๐๐๐๐ ๐ผ๐๐๐๐, ๐ผ๐๐๐๐๐ข ๐ผ๐๐๐๐, ๐ธ0 ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ธ000
๐ฌ It's a song about passing love... Drugs and love are one big pillow and they can make you forget about so many things and they can make you forget about living and put you into a somnambulist state, like sleep walking.”
