Nightmare
American Grim Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Fuck everyone i′ve ever known
Spineless bastard slithers home
Makes four rights, complains of getting nowhere
Keeps cowards company in never ending apathy
New faith turns to heaven and finds air

These are the days where the sick and depraved
Reign with no glory, no heart, no love
The difference between you and judas
Is that we know his fucking name

And soon you will be dust

And fuck everyone i'll ever know
Broke my back for a broken home
A free ride will get you fucking nowhere
Knives keep lies company in endless antipathy
Yeah you will find air

These are the days where the sick and depraved
Reign with no glory, no heart, no love
The difference between you and judas
Is that we know his fucking name

Don′t bring me down
A line has been crossed
A cross has been broken
And bones will keep breaking

Days upon
Days upon
Days upon
Days upon
Days upon
Days upon
Days upon
Days
Nothing has changed




I hope you live forever
'Cause your life's worse than death

Overall Meaning

The song "Nightmare" by American Grim is a powerful expression of anger and frustration against spineless and selfish people who do nothing but complain and drag others down. The opening lines of the song, "Fuck everyone I've ever known/Spineless bastard slithers home/Makes four rights, complains of getting nowhere/Keeps cowards company in never ending apathy", sets the tone for the rest of the song. The lyrics talk about the sick and depraved people who reign with no glory, heart, or love in the current society. This line is further emphasized in the chorus, "These are the days where the sick and depraved/Reign with no glory, no heart, no love."


The song goes on to highlight the difference between the singer and Judas, where the latter is known for his treacherous acts. The lyrics say, "The difference between you and Judas/Is that we know his fucking name/And soon you will be dust." The furious tone of the lyrics underlines the frustration of the singer towards the people who complain but do nothing to change. The second verse echoes the same sentiments, "Fuck everyone I'll ever know/Broke my back for a broken home/A free ride will get you fucking nowhere/Knives keep lies company in endless antipathy."
