Nightmare
Deine Lakaien Lyrics

The song "Nightmare" by Deine Lakaien is a haunting and eerie song that speaks about a person's subconscious fears and anxieties that come into play through a dream. The opening lines of the song "Nightmare, nightmare, nightmare" are repeated throughout the song, which depicts the intensity of the dream as it weighs heavily on the subconscious of the person. The song creates an atmosphere of fear and trepidation as the person is haunted by their subconscious through this dream.

The next few lines of the song talk about the "golden touches of moonlight on maidenhair" which portrays that the person is dreaming, and the dream is surrealistic in nature. The golden touches signify the dream-like state, while the maidenhair refers to the plant that is delicate, and its leaves resemble hair. The song then delves into how the dream is sending messages to the person that they are unaware of, yet these messages leave them feeling terrified and unsure.

The next few lines of the song talk about a little teddy bear, sleeping in a rocking chair, which brings about a sense of nostalgia and innocence. However, the song's mood turns again when "Silver hazes rise high in the silent air", creating a tense and uneasy atmosphere. The overarching theme of the song is a journey of self-discovery where fear, anxiety, and subconscious thoughts come into play through a person's fears that generally lay suppressed.
