Beautiful Nightmare
Beyonce Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
with hopes that maybe I'll get a chance to see you
when i close my eyes
i'm goin outta my head
lost in a fairytale
can you hold my hands and be my guide
clouds filled with stars cover your skies
you're the perfect lullaby
what kinda dream am is this
you can be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
either way i, don't wanna wake up from you
sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
somebody pinch me, your loves to good to be true
my guilty pleasure i ain't goin no where
baby long as you're here
i'll be floating on air cause you're my
you can be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
either way i, don't wanna wake up from you
i mention you when i say my prayers
i wrap you around around all of my thoughts
boy you my temporary high
i wish that when i wake up you're there
so wrap your arms around me for real
and tell me you'll stay by side
clouds filled with stars cover your skies
and i hope it rains
you're the perfect lullaby
what kinda dream am is this
you can be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
either way i, don't wanna wake up from you
sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
somebody pinch me, your loves to good to be true
my guilty pleasure i ain't goin no where
baby long as you're here
i'll be floating on air cause you're my
you can be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
either way i, don't wanna wake up from you
tattoo your name across my heart
so it will remain
not even death can make us part
what kind of dream is this?!
you can be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
either way i, don't wanna wake up from you
sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
somebody pinch me, your loves to good to be true
my guilty pleasure i ain't goin no where
baby long as you're here
i'll be floating on air cause you're my
you can be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
either way i, don't wanna wake up from you
The lyrics to Beyoncé's song "Beautiful Nightmare" are focused on the idea of being in love with someone so deeply that they become a fixture in your dreams. The singer states that they rush to bed every night, hoping to dream about their love interest. When they close their eyes, they lose themselves in a "fairytale" of their creation where the person they love is the "perfect lullaby" and they feel lost in the experience. The singer suggests that they want their partner to be their guide through this dream world, asking them to "hold [their] hands" and be with them in the dream.
Throughout the song, Beyoncé oscillates between calling her lover a "sweet dream" and a "beautiful nightmare," suggesting that they are both an incredible source of joy and excitement for her, but also that the depth of her feelings for them can be overwhelming at times. The singer says that they mention their love interest in their prayers and that they are a constant presence in their thoughts, describing them as a "temporary high."

You are so perfect that you can be my sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare, but either way, I never want to wake up from you. Your love is unbelievable, something I feel guilty to enjoy so much, but I'm not going anywhere, as long as you're here, I'll be on cloud nine.

Yeah, the production team and the people who wrote the song for her must've worked really hard to pull this off - but I'm sure the choreography isn't that easy either. I absolutely couldn't be bothered sitting in a chair for hours on end while people put makeup on me. Definitely couldn't dance like her though.
