Nightmare
Dover Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Now it's getting cold
And here comes my nightmare
Oh! If I could take time back
I wouldn't do what I did
Now it's too late, now it's so hard
I'm not ready to go

Wait a minute, wait a second
Just give me time
Cause now that I've become a good girl
I admit I was wrong
For you whatever, for you whatever
I'm not ready to go

Now it's getting dare
And here come my nightmare
Oh! If I could take time back
I wouldn't said what I said
Now it's too late, now it's too hard
I'm not ready to go

Wait a minute, wait a second
Just give me time
Cause now that I've become a good girl
I admit I was wrong





For you whatever, for you whatever
I'm not ready to go

Overall Meaning

The song "Nightmare" by Dover is a reflection on regret and the feeling of being trapped in the consequences of one's actions, specifically in the context of a relationship. The lyrics describe the singer's vivid awareness of their own mistakes and the impact they have had on their life. The use of the word "nightmare" represents the degree of difficulty that the singer is experiencing, as though they are trapped in a bad dream they cannot escape from. The lyrics convey a sense of longing for a chance to go back in time and change the choices they made. However, the reality is that it is too late for regrets, and the singer is left in a state of desperation, wishing for more time to make things right.


The first two lines of the song set the somber tone immediately by describing how cold it is getting and how the singer's nightmares are starting to consume them. The lyrics go on to express regret for the past, and how if they could go back in time and undo what they did, they would. However, as the song continues, they realize it is too late for any change, and they are left in a state of despair. This is exemplified through powerful lines such as "Now it's too late, now it's too hard, I'm not ready to go" and "Wait a minute, wait a second, just give me time."


The chorus, where the singer repeats the line "For you whatever, for you whatever, I'm not ready to go," seems to indicate a deep desire to make things right with the person they hurt. Despite the difficulty of the situation, the singer is willing to do anything to try and make up for their actions, even if it means facing their own nightmares head-on. The song ultimately serves as a cautionary tale about the fragility of relationships, and the importance of being mindful of one's actions.
