Viking Funeral
Broadcast The Nightmare Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Slow breaths charade with what liars conflict caught.
I set the trap.
Bait mistakes victim, a victim in full collapse.
How selfish to haunt your own nightmares without my help,
Your nightmares without my help.
There's no dreams in hell.
Nothing personal.
Attention is all you'll ever need, regardless on delivery.
As long as anatomy takes lead, you'll stay happy.
In response of laughter held such a purpose to insult.
And I can't stop this riot.
My apologies for logic to come off so violent.
In all honesty my praise goes to you.
Proving disaster will always carry you.
The song "Viking Funeral" by Broadcast The Nightmare is a powerful statement on the theme of betrayal. The first verse talks about how the singer announces the betrayal in a symbolic season to plot, setting a trap for their victim to make mistakes and fall into full collapse. The singer feels no remorse for haunting their victim's nightmares alone, remarking that there are no dreams in hell. These lyrics capture the feeling of bitterness and vindictiveness that often accompanies betrayal, with the singer taking pleasure in the other person's suffering.
The second verse conveys the message that the singer has moved on from the betrayal and does not wish to engage with the betrayer. The betrayal was nothing personal, and attention is all the betrayer will ever need. The singer highlights the importance of anatomy, which he sees as the determining factor in determining whether a person is happy or not. The song's final verse is a reflection on the aftermath of the betrayal. Laughter was used as a tool to insult, and the singer feels powerless to stop the chaos. The singer then apologizes for the violent language he uses to describe his logic, praising the other person for proving that disaster will always follow them.
