Through he would later struggle with the nature of his small fame, as well as lyrical expectations, D Pryde endured substantial obstacles throughout his young yet remarkably dramatic entrance into the rap game. Before becoming one of the most discussed Asian figures in hip hop, being compared to Asian rappers such as Jin the Emcee, D-Pryde had suffered through hatred and harsh critics which the public eye had given him. Entering the hip hop game, D-Pryde had been exposed to negative messages and comments, which pulled him out of the game for a while. Not knowing what he was putting himself into, he decided to take a break and learn the story behind Hip Hop. Stepping back into the game in the summer of 2007, he is experienced and ready for anything, following his goal to be in the rap industry, hoping to make it one day.

D-Pryde Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
イチャつきあってる うたかたの愛
白い夢 真っ赤に染め上げ
退屈な夜を弄んでる
大きく拡げて 奥まで見てみて
人でなしみたく 欲しがった
Last night, oh, last night d'amour
笑ってみせてよ 酔わせて欲しいの
もう少し下を 触ってみてよ
キミの影 強く押し倒し
冷たい bed の中誘う
Last night, oh, last night d'amour
そぉ悪夢のような kiss をせがみ 美しい薔薇の棘で愛を飾る
悩ましい キミは淫ら 絡み合って夜が砕けた
酔いどれ悪魔が テーブルの下で
退屈な夜を弄ぶ
Last night, oh, last night d'amour
悪夢のような kiss をせがみ 美しい薔薇の棘で愛を飾る
むせかえる甘い匂い 絶望に良く似てる声で喘ぐ
悩ましい キミは淫ら 絡み合って夜が砕けた
Good night, babe
The lyrics to D-Pryde's song 'Nightmare' delve into a passionate and tumultuous love affair between two people who are lost in their own desperation and loneliness. The opening lines describe an intoxicated devil under the table who is playing with the idea of a fleeting love, a 'white dream' that is stained with blood red. The demon is bored and restless, and seeks to find some kind of excitement or release from the mundane existence they find themselves in. The chorus slowly builds up to a fever pitch as the singer begs for their lover to touch them more intimately, to push them down harder, and to invite them into a cold bed for a night of passion.
As the song goes on, the imagery only gets more surreal and intense, with references to thorns and roses, and the overwhelming scent of desire and despair. The lover becomes more and more entwined with the singer until it seems as though their very existence is breaking apart into separate pieces. The use of the French term "d'amour" only adds to the dreamlike quality of the song, as though the entire encounter is a surreal and twisted fantasy. The final lines of "Good night, babe" suggest that whatever happened between these two people, it has ended with a sense of finality and perhaps even regret.
