Terrible Things
Brick Mortar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Deep in my sleep (give it up, give it up now)
I don't, I don't, I don't know why, I don't know why
I don't know why but I can see you far away
As you grow and change and I stay the same but
But I, I'm just like you
The whole world against you
You give everything
Sometimes I think of doing terrible things
I know I shouldn't think it but I do anyway, oh oh
Maybe I'm just crazy like I got a disease
Feels like I got things that go deep in my sleep
I'm doing terrible things
Give it up, give it up now
T-t-t-terrible things
Give it up, give it up now
In the sky, in my mind, between my eyes
Within my eyes, I don't know why
But can you feel me melt away
As the colors seem to fade and save the day but
Well I, I'm just like you
I've got, got no name at all
The whole world against you
You did everything (deep in my sleep)
Sometimes I think of doing terrible things
I know I shouldn't think it but I do anyway, oh oh
Maybe I'm just crazy like I got a disease
Feels like I got things that go deep in my sleep
I'm doing terrible things
T-t-t-terrible things
Everything you need, everything you need
Give it up, give it up now
It's bigger than your dreams
Bigger than your dreams
Give it up, give it up now
I had a dream so far away
It hit me in a different way (give it up, give it up now)
I had a dream so far away
I had a dream though, I had a dream though (give it up, give it up now)
Sometimes I think of doing terrible things (give it up, give it up now)
I know I shouldn't think it but I do anyway, oh oh (give it up, give it up now)
Maybe I'm just crazy like I got a disease (give it up, give it up now)
Feels like I got things that go deep in my sleep
I'm doing terrible things (give it up, give it up now)
T-t-t-terrible things (give it up, give it up now)
T-t-t-terrible things
Give it up, give it up now
The lyrics to "Terrible Things" by Brick Mortar depict a struggle with mental health and the thoughts and feelings that can come with it. The repeated line "deep in my sleep, give it up, give it up now" suggests a desire to let go of negative thoughts and feelings, but the singer is unable to do so.

The lines "maybe I'm just crazy like I got a disease" and "feels like I got things that go deep in my sleep" communicate the overwhelming and intrusive nature of these thoughts.
The chorus, with its repetition of "give it up, give it up now" and "terrible things," adds to the urgent and desperate tone of the song. The bridge, with its references to fading colors and a dream that hits the singer "in a different way," could suggest a longing for a different reality or a simpler way of experiencing the world.
