Backstory:

In the bustling streets of Brooklyn, New York, four college friends found their shared passion for music. Each of them was pursuing a different major – psychology, engineering, literature, and finance, but their love for music brought them together. The band Pitiful Applicant was formed in 2010, initially playing for college festivals and small gigs. They named their band as ‘Pitiful Applicant’ as a nod towards the struggle they faced in their respective fields, reflecting their journey of being underdogs to celebrated artists.

Genre:

One of their most famous songs is “Insomniac’s Lullaby”.

Full Song Lyrics with Chord Progression:

(Verse 1 – Em, G, D, C)
Em
Late at night, under the neon glow
G
Lost in thought, nowhere to go
D
Silent whispers, echoing fears
C
In the labyrinth of my mind, fighting tears

(Chorus – G, D, Em, C)
G
Sing me an insomniac’s lullaby
D
A sweet surrender to the night
Em
In the darkness, let me find
C
A trace of peace, leaving troubles behind

(Verse 2 – Em, G, D, C)
Em
In the mirror, a stranger’s sight
G
Haunted by the ghosts of light
D
Chasing shadows, reaching for the sky
C
In this quiet solitude, I lie

(Chorus)
G
Sing me an insomniac’s lullaby
D
A sweet surrender to the night
Em
In the darkness, let me find
C
A trace of peace, leaving troubles behind

(Bridge – Am, C, G, D)
Am
In the rhythm of my heart, I hear a tune
C
A melody that promises, dawn is coming soon
G
In the dance of shadows, under the moon
D
I find a moment of respite, in the insomniac’s rune

(Chorus)
G
Sing me an insomniac’s lullaby
D
A sweet surrender to the night
Em
In the darkness, let me find
C
A trace of peace, leaving troubles behind

(Outro – Em, G, D, C)
Em
As the night fades, and the day begins to brew
G
I find solace in the rhythm, in the insomniac’s lullaby, I knew
