Spasmo Paralytic Dreams
Blood Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every night you frightened up
Bathed in perspiration - you stood in your bed
And attempted to remember -
At your dream of terror
SPASMOPARALYTIC DREAMS -
The hour of horror
Already now you have fear,
When you fall into sleep

SPASMOPARALYTIC DREAMS
One night the mutants thrashed down again -
Harder than ever before - you can't move around
And died misery in your fright
SPASMOPARALYTIC DREAMS
Shivering fit - agony - grinding flesh in your hand
Nightmare masks of death - their looks gore you
SPASMOPARALYTIC DREAMS

[Eisen 2/88]

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of BLOOD's song Spasmo Paralytic Dreams describe the experience of a person who suffers from terrifying nightmares every night when they go to sleep. The person is depicted as being soaked in sweat and unable to move as they recall and relive their terrible dream. The dream is referred to as a "spasmoparalytic dream" and is described as an "hour of horror" that fills the person with fear even before they fall asleep. The person is then confronted with "mutants" who attack them in their dream, leaving them unable to move and feeling utterly helpless. The lyrics suggest that the person dies a miserable death as a result of their nightmare.

The song seems to be exploring the idea of the power of the mind to create terrifying experiences that continue to haunt and disturb us even when we are asleep. The imagery of the mutants and masks of death suggests a subconscious fear of the unknown and of death itself. The person in the song is depicted as being trapped in their own mind, unable to escape the power of their own fears and anxieties.
