Vengeance The Sleeper
Broadcast The Nightmare Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

False whispers have led your finger,
To point the blame at everyone but yourself.
How dare I rain on your parade, spoil what you've become.
Admit has held you afraid to say 'I told you so'.

With alcohol to lay you down to sleep.
Pray that your own fault won't come back to haunt you.
Epiphany will watch you weep,




From failure that became true;
Regret will pursue.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Broadcast The Nightmare's song Vengeance The Sleeper depict a person who refuses to take accountability for their actions and instead chooses to push blame onto others. The line "False whispers have led your finger" suggests that this person has been influenced by rumors and misinformation, leading them to wrongly accuse others of their own mistakes. The singer then confronts this person, proclaiming "How dare I rain on your parade, spoil what you've become" and "Admit has held you afraid to say 'I told you so'." This seems to imply that the person is not only unwilling to take responsibility but also unwilling to acknowledge when they're wrong.


The second half of the lyrics touch on the consequences of this behavior. The phrase "With alcohol to lay you down to sleep" implies that the person is trying to numb themselves or escape their problems through substance abuse. The singer then ominously warns "Pray that your own fault won't come back to haunt you" as if to say that eventually, the person's refusal to take responsibility will catch up with them. The final lines "Epiphany will watch you weep, from failure that became true; Regret will pursue" suggest that the person will eventually have a moment of clarity, realizing the harm they've caused and facing the consequences of their actions.

It's an interesting idea, but I hope you don't give us too much power. You all are the writers and I'm afraid we as a whole will unintentionally send shows in the wrong direction.
