Dark Queen
Down Below Lyrics

She lives in my dreams
The subject of my intense interest and desire only exists in my imagination while I’m asleep.

She's the reason for
This person holds significant importance in my life.

The reason for my screams
However, that importance might be overwhelmed by the distress and anguish this person causes me.

My sweetest nightmare
Despite the pain she brings me, I still find myself intoxicated by her presence in my life.

She came into my life like the falling rain
This person entered my life in a sudden, unexpected and powerful way.

On a black summer night
This experience was hostile just like when the sky is rend by thunder and lightning.

And I know she is dangerous but she's mine
I am aware that this person may pose a threat to me, but I desire her so much that I am willing to take that risk.

I felt her black hair, I smelled her white skin
My senses are overwhelmed by this person, and I find myself fixated on their appearance.

I saw her green eyes and it tastes like sin
Even though I know that interacting with this person might cause harm, I still have a deep desire that I cannot deny.

She's my dark princess, she's my black queen
I see this person as someone of power, regality and authority over me, and they embody elements of darkness, evil, or danger.

And maybe it's just a dream
There's a chance that nothing about this experience is real and it’s all just a fabrication of my mind.

Ignore my silent screams
Even if I'm shouting on the inside, the rest of the world can't hear me.

From my sweetest nightmare
Despite the turmoil that this person causes me, they remain one of the most compelling and fascinating figures in my life.

Oh, oh.
Interjection expressing something which is hard to put into words.

Nightmare, my sweetest nightmare
The ongoing distress that this person causes me is also something that I can't help but be drawn to.

Nightmare, you're my dark princess
I'm fixated on this person even though they might be harmful to me in some way.

You are the one, she lives in my dreams
This person dominates my thoughts and dreams more than anyone else.

And she's the reason for, the reason for my screams
Even though this person causes me so much distress, I can't help but continue to desire them.

She's my dark princess, she's my black queen
As a recurring theme in this song, this person is powerful, regal, and dangerous, and I desire them despite the potential consequences

My sweetest nightmare, oh, oh.
This intense fixation on a person who also causes me so much pain is something that is difficult for me to fully articulate or understand.

My sweetest nightmare, oh, oh
A repetition of the central idea that this person is both everything I desire and everything that causes me harm at the same time.
