Hey Nightmare Where Did You Get Them Teeth
A Skylit Drive Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Run, for your life now
Don't you see your princess is gone'
Pull your vengeance aside
Let's make it rain blood tonight
Collide your sword with mine, I'll send your soul
To the hell where it came from
Be this I know you'll never set your eyes
On a quest you can't survive
It's no surprise that your head hangs
From my heads your mouth can't sin or lie
Cut threw the limbs
Stab threw the enemies eyes
Any last man will die
She, watching the sky burn oh how it burns
Run for the skylines run for the skylines darling
Follow the light of the moon just stay alive
Forgive me

For tomorrow
If I'm late
I'll died before I wake
Cut threw the limbs
Stab threw the enemies eyes
Any last man will die
What's left for you
You wanted life
I showed you love
Conserve protect your life
Your life is my well being
And if lay in shadows then so be it
But left it be known that this soldier will not rest a day
Until he lays in the glamour and the grace of his bride
I will not rest one day until my victims blood is shed up
And down the shorelines
For gods sake please

Don't you forgive me
I will wait for you
Race the sun
Pray for nothing warm
The Past The Love The Memories
Let me take this time to
Ask you, inform you
Of all the things you did not know
I'm sorry I can't be the cure for your life
You where always by my side
Life spent without rain
You will always be the heart in me




You will always be
The past the love the memories

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to A Skylit Drive's song Hey Nightmare Where Did You Get Them Teeth is quite an emotional rollercoaster ride. At first, the singer is urging someone to run for their life, as their loved one is gone, and it seems like it might be too late for them to do anything. They then talk about a battle, where they plan to make it rain blood, and the last man standing will be the winner. The imagery speaks of a world where conflict is the norm, and peace is but a distant memory. The second part of the song talks about forgiveness and regret. The singer talks about how they might not be able to make it to the next day and how they hope they are forgiven for whatever wrong they might have done. They then try to comfort their loved one by reminding them of all the good times they have shared together and how they will always be in their heart.


The lyrics of the song convey a sense of despair, anger, and longing, all at once. The singer seems to be in a constant state of conflict, both with their enemies and with themselves. It is a song that speaks to the human experience of love, loss, and regret.


Line by Line Meaning

Run, for your life now
Escape quickly before it's too late


Don't you see your princess is gone'
You should have been more attentive, your loved one is missing


Pull your vengeance aside
Put your desire for revenge on hold


Let's make it rain blood tonight
There will be violence and fighting


Collide your sword with mine, I'll send your soul
We will fight together, and I will defeat you


To the hell where it came from
I will send your soul back to where it belongs


Be this I know you'll never set your eyes
I am certain that you will not be brave enough to see


On a quest you can't survive
You will not make it through this journey


It's no surprise that your head hangs
It's expected that you feel defeated


From my heads your mouth can't sin or lie
You cannot speak untruths in the presence of my authority


Cut threw the limbs
Use a sharp object to slice through appendages


Stab threw the enemies eyes
Pierce the eyes of opposing combatants


Any last man will die
All remaining individuals will perish


She, watching the sky burn oh how it burns
She observed the fire in the sky with despair


Run for the skylines run for the skylines darling
Flee in the direction of the horizon my dear


Follow the light of the moon just stay alive
Use the moonlight as a guide to ensure survival


Forgive me
I ask for your pardon


For tomorrow
In anticipation of what may happen next


If I'm late
If I fail to appear on time


I'll died before I wake
I might die in my sleep


What's left for you

You wanted life
You desired existence


I showed you love
I expressed affection towards you


Conserve protect your life
Take measures to safeguard your existence


Your life is my well being
Your continued presence is essential for my happiness


And if lay in shadows then so be it
If I must hide, then I will do it


But left it be known that this soldier will not rest a day
I will not stop working until my objective is reached


Until he lays in the glamour and the grace of his bride
Until I marry, I will not stop striving for excellence


I will not rest one day until my victims blood is shed up and down the shorelines
I will relentlessly pursue revenge until blood is spilled on every shore


For gods sake please
I implore you in the name of all that is holy


Don't you forgive me
Please don't grant me forgiveness


I will wait for you
I will remain in anticipation until your return


Race the sun
Fight against the daylight to accomplish great things


Pray for nothing warm
Hope for nothing but success in cold and harsh circumstances


The Past The Love The Memories
Reminiscences of former times and affection


Let me take this time to
Allow me to use this moment to


Ask you, inform you
Request information from you


Of all the things you did not know
Tell you about the things you were unaware of


I'm sorry I can't be the cure for your life
I apologize for not being able to fix your problems


You where always by my side
You were always there for me


Life spent without rain
A life without tribulation


You will always be the heart in me
You will always be my love


You will always be
You will forever be


The past the love the memories
The recollections of former love

Run, for your life now
Don’t you see your princess is gone?
Pull your vengeance aside
Let’s make it rain blood tonight

Collide your sword with mine, I’ll send your soul
To the hell where it came from
By this I know you’ll never set your eyes
On a quest you can’t survive
It’s no surprise your head hangs from my hands 
Your mouth can’t sin or lie

Cut through the limbs 
Stab through the enemies' eyes
Any last man will die
[x2]

She, watching the sky burn oh how it burns
Run for the skylines, run for the skylines darling
Follow the light of the moon just to stay alive

Forgive me
For tomorrow
If I’m late
I’ve died before I wake

Cut through the limbs 
Stab through the enemies' eyes
Any last man will die
[x2]

What’s left for you
You, you wanted life
I showed you love
Conserve protect your life
Conserve your life
Conserve protect your life
Conserve your life

Your life is my well being
And if it lay in the shadows then so be it
But let it be known that this soldier will not rest a day
Until he lays in the glamour and the grace of his bride
I will not rest one day until my victims blood is shed 
Up and down the shorelines
Up and down the shorelines

For God's sake please
Don’t you forget me
I will wait for you
[x2]

Race the sun
Pray for nothing warm

Run!
For your life now!
Don't you see your princess is gone?
Pull your vengeance aside
Let's make it rain blood tonight
Collide your sword with mine
I'll send your soul
To the hell where, it came from
By this I know you'll never set your eyes
On a quest you can't survive
It's no surprise
Your head hangs from my hand
Your mouth can't sin nor lie
Cut through the limbs
Stab through the enemies eyes
Any last man will die
Cut through the limbs
Stab through the enemies eyes
Any last man will die
She's!
Watching the sky burn
Run for the skylines, run for the skylines, darling
(Don't wait up for me)
Follow the light of the moon just to stay
Alive...
(These black skies will hide)
Yeah
Forgive me!
For tomorrow
If I'm late
I've died before I wake
Cut through the limbs
Stab through the enemies eyes
Any last man will die
Cut through the limbs
Stab through the enemies eyes
Any last man will die
What's left for you?
You, you wanted life
I showed you love
Conserve, protect your life
Conserve, your life
Conserve, protect your life
Conserve, your life
Your life is my well being
And if it lay in the shadows then so be it
But let it be known that this soldier will not rest a day
Until he lays in the glamour and the grace of his bride
I will not rest one day, until my victim's blood is shred
Up and down the shorelines
Up and down the shorelines!
(What's left for you?)
(You wanted life)
(I showed you love)
For god's sake please
Don't you forget me
I will wait for you
For god's sake please
Don't you forget me
I will wait for you
For
You!
Race the sun
Pray for nothing warm!
