yea, i think that a lot of people had the idea that this song is about how not sleeping doesnt kill you, and i think that's a too literal view of this song, I mean, if you dont sleep, your body will pass out in exaustion, I think that the message is using a metaphor, and sleeping represents closing your eyes to the horror's of the system and our world, and that the people in power want you to just 'fall asleep' and blindly accept the world you live in, but this song is saying that we need to wake up and realize what's going on and take action.
They're not saying don't sleep at all... they're saying you don't have to sleep when society tells you to and that its just a social convention that should be broken and that there are plenty others like that.

Not saying that's not one interpretation. But if you are going by the literal explanation of the song, the OP wasn't quite correct. The song isn't about not sleeping at all, its about the lie that kids are told about sleeping and that you won't "die faster than without water" as it says right there in the words.

Pretty sure "sleep" is a metaphor actually.
