Nightmare
矢島舞依 Lyrics

The lyrics of "Nightmare" by 矢島舞依 evoke a feeling of fear and uncertainty throughout the song. The first line sets a creepy atmosphere by describing a messy toy box in the middle of the night. The singer asks why she can't lock the door and is haunted by a sense of stillness and a presence that feels like it's been stuck in time. The repeated phrase "そのドアは開けないで" (don't open that door) creates a sense of urgency and fear, as if something sinister may be lurking on the other side. The singer seems to be trying to block out an approaching shadow or threat, painting over it with the repetition of "塗り潰す" (paint over it).

The line "One Shock Two Trauma 3度目はない" (One Shock Two Trauma, there won't be a third time) suggests that the singer has been through traumatic events before and wants to avoid going through it again. The repetition of the phrase throughout the song emphasizes the fear of the singer that the shadow will be able to break in and cause another trauma. The final line of the song "迫る影 塗り潰す" (the approaching shadow, paint over it) leaves a lingering sense of unease and uncertainty, as if the threat has not been fully vanquished.
