Night Terror
Author & Punisher Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A collision on the track
For days I've seen the sorrow
Bad decisions from the past
Many ways to reach the horror
Hidden secrets that I keep
A structure down on me
In a phase of my destruction
Rising waters weigh me down
I'm buried in the ground
Consumed by my affliction
And I'll learn how to play
And I'll learn how to play
And I'll say what I mean
And I'll learn not to say
And I'll learn through the pain
And I'll learn that I'm too slow
I'd have been saved but it's not fit
I fell through but it's poison
Shove my face but it's inside
In my ears but it's genius
Found the place but it's nowhere
I've been cross but I'm outside
I've been fit but I'm not in shape
I run around but it's wrong
On the day when I found you
I'm ok when I've found you
I'm only sane when it's too slow
I'd turn around but it's too thick
I'll be saved but I'm not alright
I'll be hanged from the ceiling
No way out it's a full moon
Christmas day no companion
In the wall but it's inside
In my eyes but it won't fit
It's a shame is all
Wretched place with wretched view
Deathbed army is a part of you
Crooked face a crooked screw
Deathbed army is a part of you
Who wins in our eyes
Who wins and who dies
On the day when I found you
I'm ok when I've found you
Many ways to learn
You'll learn the pain
Many ways to learn
You'll learn the pain
Many ways through pain
There are many ways to learn
There are many ways through pain

The singer describes feeling trapped and burdened by past mistakes and destructive tendencies. They convey a sense of drowning in rising waters and being consumed by their afflictions, suggesting a deep personal struggle. The repetition of the phrase "And I'll learn" throughout the song hints at a desire for growth and self-improvement, with the singer acknowledging the need to learn from their pain and mistakes.
In the second part of the song, the lyrics become fragmented and cryptic, delving into a surreal, dream-like state. The singer expresses a sense of being lost and disconnected, feeling outside of the norm, and dealing with internal conflicts. The repetition of phrases like "I've been fit but I'm not in shape" and "I've been cross but I'm outside" reflects a struggle with identity and a feeling of not belonging. The mention of a "Deathbed army" suggests a metaphorical battle within oneself, with the army representing the singer's inner demons or struggles.
Overall, "Night Terror" appears to be a deeply introspective and introspective song, exploring themes of personal turmoil, self-reflection, and the desire to find a way out of one's afflictions and past mistakes.

Haunted visions coming back
Disturbing images from the past resurfacing
A collision on the track
A clash or conflict
For days I've seen the sorrow
Witnessing sadness for an extended period
Bad decisions from the past
Regretful choices made previously
Incision in a crack
A deep cut in a vulnerable area
Many ways to reach the horror
Numerous paths leading to fear and distress
Hidden secrets that I keep
Unrevealed personal truths
A structure down on me
A burden weighing heavily
In a phase of my destruction
In the midst of personal devastation
Rising waters weigh me down
Increasing difficulties overwhelming
I'm buried in the ground
Feeling trapped and suffocated
Consumed by my affliction
Overwhelmed by suffering
And I'll learn how to play
Acquiring the skills to navigate
And I'll say what I mean
Expressing thoughts honestly
And I'll learn not to say
Gaining the wisdom to hold back
And I'll learn through the pain
Finding growth and understanding from suffering
And I'll learn that I'm too slow
Recognizing one's own limitations
I'd have been saved but it's not fit
There was a possibility of rescue, but it didn't work out
I fell through but it's poison
An attempt led to harmful consequences
Shove my face but it's inside
Forced confrontation, but the issue remains internal
In my ears but it's genius
Something sounds impressive or remarkable
Found the place but it's nowhere
Discovered a location, but it lacks purpose or meaning
I've been cross but I'm outside
Feeling upset or angry, but detached from the situation
I've been fit but I'm not in shape
Physically capable, but lacking overall fitness
I run around but it's wrong
Engaging in actions, but they are misguided or futile
On the day when I found you
The moment of discovering someone
I'm ok when I've found you
Feeling content and stable in their presence
I'm only sane when it's too slow
The artist maintains their sanity only in calm or slow environments
I'd turn around but it's too thick
Desire to change direction, but faced with obstacles
I'll be saved but I'm not alright
There is hope for rescue, but internal struggles persist
I'll be hanged from the ceiling
Feeling trapped or helpless, as if suspended by a noose
No way out, it's a full moon
Feeling trapped without any escape, a hopeless situation
Christmas day no companion
Spending Christmas alone without anyone by their side
In the wall but it's inside
Feeling confined within oneself or within a situation
In my eyes but it won't fit
Seeing something, but it doesn't align or fit with their perception
It's a shame is all
Expressing disappointment or regret
Wretched place with wretched view
An unpleasant environment with a bleak outlook
Deathbed army is a part of you
The singer acknowledges their own mortality and the influence it has on them
Crooked face, a crooked screw
Physical or metaphorical imperfections and flaws
Who wins in our eyes
Questioning who prevails or succeeds in their perspective
Who wins and who dies
Reflecting on victories and losses
Many ways to learn
Numerous methods of acquiring knowledge
You'll learn the pain
Experiencing the hardships and struggles to gain wisdom
Many ways through pain
Various paths for personal growth and understanding
There are many ways to learn
Multiple avenues to gain knowledge and insight
There are many ways through pain
Different approaches to navigate and cope with suffering

Let's quite with the gate keeping. If Ive never heard industrial in my life and stumble across a&p and think it sounds like no doubt crossed with Neil diamond, everyone would disagree with me, but that doesn't change the fact that he's getting more exposure. If I think it sounds like birds farting who gives a Shit? This is amazing art and deserves to be heard widely.

i like that description. my music taste is bird shit.

there's lyrics to this?

There have been about 5 eye opening bands in my life (52). Eddie Van Halen , Randy Rhodes, Jason Becker etc....but this is a new level of music it's not comparable to NIN as somebody mentioned this is a level above and one of those eye opening moments. You can feel the composers conviction in the music and that's what 99% of music is lacking now a days. Conviction mixed with emotion and power creates a new level of music. After you hear this long enough other music will just sound flat and lifeless. Great job man your music is original hard to come by in the post apacalyptic 5 guys dancing and Lip syncing
