Nightmare
David S. Currie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Couldn't ever cry no matter how much he hurt
Finally fell in love with a girl he thought would stay
She left him just to see if he'd die
But who would win in a fight
Your memories or your nightmares
Who would win in a fight
Who would win in a fight
Anybody fall for the girl without a smile
Couldn't ever lie which is why she stole his tears
Finally fell in love with a man who had it all
He made her cry until she died
Who would win in a fight
Your memories or your nightmares
Who would win in a fight
Your memories or your nightmares
Who would win in a fight
Try to understand not everyone is easily loved
Try to understand not everyone is easily loved
But who would win a fight
Your memories or your nightmares
Who would win in a fight
Your memories or your nightmares
Who would win in a fight
The lyrics of David S. Currie's song "Nightmare" tell the stories of two individuals who struggle to express their emotions. The boy lost his tears and could never cry, even when he was hurting deeply. He finally fell in love with a girl who he thought would stay by his side, but she left him to see if he would die. The girl, on the other hand, never smiled and couldn't ever lie. She stole the boy's tears and finally fell in love with a man who had everything, but he made her cry until she died.
The chorus asks the listener to consider who would win in a fight between memories and nightmares. This can be interpreted as a struggle between the past and present - the memories of lost love and the nightmares of being alone. The song suggests that not everyone is easily loved, and encourages the listener to try to understand this.
Overall, "Nightmare" is a poignant and emotional ballad that explores the themes of love, loss, and the struggle to express one's emotions.

It’s so sad, because Carrie was so genuinely happy and felt like she fit in and the people liked her, she was even tearing up when they announced the winners, that’s so sad.

It's heartbreaking because Carrie is actually sweet and wouldn't harm anyone but her being bullied and dealing with her crazy mother drove her to the edge and she snapped
