Night Garden
BENEE Lyrics

Feels like someone's watchin' me
The artist has a persistent feeling of being watched by someone.

A man is out there in the trees
The artist imagines seeing a man lurking in the trees outside.

Think that's the reason I can't sleep
The artist believes that the presence of the man outside is preventing them from sleeping.

I see him lurking in my dreams
The image of the man follows the artist into their dreams.

I stand and walk out of my room
Despite their fear, the artist gets up from bed to investigate.

Everything 'round me feels so still
The quietness of the night amplifies the artist's anxiety.

I wonder if he'll jump right out
The artist is afraid that the man will attack them.

Cover my face and hold me down
The artist feels vulnerable and seeks protection.

Will I see him, will I not?
The artist is unsure whether they will come face-to-face with the man.

I bet he has a hiding spot
The artist imagines the man has a secret place to observe them from.

I can't relax, hear something snap
The artist is on edge and hears a noise that startles them.

He must be out there, watch your back
The artist suspects the man is still outside and is cautioning themselves to be careful.

Walking through the garden at night
The artist is outside walking through a garden in the darkness.

Things out there, steal the light
The presence of something unknown takes away the security and light of the night.

Can't see this man, he's out of sight
The artist can feel the presence of the man but is unable to see him.

But he still remains in my mind
The artist is haunted by the image of the man and can't shake the fear.

In the night
The environment of darkness amplifies the fears and anxieties of the artist.

Things are out there creepin'
The artist realizes that there are unknown things lurking in the night.

They get into my dreams then
The imagery of the unknown things finds their way into the artist's dreams.

Befriend all my demons
The dark unknown things take a place of familiarity and comfort for the artist.

No reply comes to my ears
The artist calls out for a response but hears no answer.

Mm, I think must just be a rat or deer (just a deer)
The artist tries to convince themselves that there is a rational explanation for the sounds they heard.

Guess now I'll try to sleep, there's no one here (no ones here, no ones there)
The artist decides to go back to bed despite their fear.

Covers right over my toes
The artist hides under the covers for a sense of security.

Pillow goes over my head
The artist attempts to completely block out any outside stimulus.

I pray that I won't wake up dead (wake up dead)
The artist desperately hopes that they will not be harmed while they sleep.

Walk through the garden of Eden
The artist refers to the Garden of Eden as a metaphor for a place of beauty and innocence.

Night time I need it
The artist prefers the night and its accompanying darkness.

With a girl called Eve, she don't really like speaking
The artist is with a girl named Eve who is quiet and withdrawn.

I'm speed balling, speeding to the weekend
The artist lives their life recklessly and looks forward to the weekend as a way to escape.

When it's up, it's stuck, I don't ever need a reason
The artist lives impulsively without considering the consequences of their actions.

But she keeps on pree'ing
The girl named Eve is suspicious of the artist's behavior.

Look me in my eyes, cos my looks could be deceiving
The artist believes that their appearance may not accurately reflect their true character.

Why you always scheming?
The girl named Eve is distrustful of the artist's motivations and intentions.

Put my dreams on a big screen
The artist's goals and aspirations are on clear display.

Now I'm leaving
The artist decides to leave the situation and move on.

I can't believe I fell in love with a Dracula
The artist realizes that they have become emotionally involved with someone who is harmful to them.

Might've met my match
The artist acknowledges that they may have found someone who is their equal or surpasses them in dark behavior.

Took her to the night show and now she's acting up
The artist blames the situation on the fact that they took the girl to a nighttime event.

I need to pack her up
The artist decides to end the relationship with the girl named Eve.

Get her outta here
The artist wants to remove the negative influence of the girl named Eve from their life.

'Cause I'm on demon time, no
The artist describes their current mindset as being in a dark place.

I got no time to spare
The artist is focused on their own goals and cannot afford to be held back by distractions.

I walked in the party at five
The artist arrived at a party in the early hours of the morning.

She's still tryna kill my whole vibe
The girl named Eve is still causing problems for the artist and trying to ruin their mood.

But the suns coming up, that's my kryptonite
The artist is weakened by the rising of the sun and the end of the darkness.

I wonder if she coming back to the crib tonight
The artist is unsure if the girl named Eve will return to their home that night.

Into my dreams then
The unknown things in the night intrude upon the artist's dreams.
