Nightmare
Darren W. Chamberlain Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah
When I wake up feel like my dreams slipping away from me
Yeah, slipping away from me
When I wake up feel like my dreams slipping away from me

When I wake up feel like my dreams slipping away from me
Even though all of my dreams right in front of me
Niggas that I thought I was solid out here fronting on me
I had to steam roll that boy he stepped in front of me
I pray that God don't take my soul trying to get these G's
I pray my momma see her son touch a milli
I hope that all my niggas good life can be such a B
I hope that hell is hot when these rats finally get they cheese
The niggas y'all be claiming gangster out here switching like beat
I told my dog he was gone blow
He got to stick to the beats
If shit get hot like grease I pop
I got that stick on me
Stop going to church cause I couldn't walk in
With that stick on me
I got drawed on in traffic one time
That's all it took for me
Now everywhere I go I'm just like Haslem
I'm still with my heat
I know these haters legs spazzing
They stay riding meat
Yeah baby I feel like Phil Jackson
In LA getting geeked

When I wake up feel like my dreams slipping away from me
Even though all of my dreams right in front of me
Niggas that I thought I was solid out here fronting on me
I had to steam roll that boy he stepped in front of me
I pray that God don't take my soul trying to get these G's
I pray my momma see her son touch a milli
I hope that all my niggas good life can be such a B
I hope that hell is hot when these rats finally get they cheese

When they get that cheese
Trap them trap them
When they get that cheese
Trap them trap them




When they get that cheese
I hope that hell is hot when these rats finally get they cheese

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Darren W. Chamberlain's song 'Nightmare' vividly describe how the singer is stuck in isolation while constantly taking medication. The character is trying to make sense of the misconceptions that are being reported on the news, and wonders if there is any solution or whether they are a part of someone's delusion. Despite their struggles, they feel like no one cares about their views or is willing to offer them help. The chorus includes the haunting plea of the singer, asking for someone to help them as they are the lost ones and that life feels like a real-life nightmare.


The song's theme is bleak and reflects upon the feeling of isolation and abandonment that many individuals can face in their life. While the lyrics mention medication, it could indicate a mental health condition or illness that one faces alone. It is a portrayal of a reality where you struggle to find reality, hope and care. However, even in the darkest moments, the character still wonders if they can overcome this ongoing struggle by seeking out someone who might help.
