Nightmare
Fight Like Sin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Grow up and change my ways
Through all the crying and lying you can't find
Sense to make your escape
Take my time you're not going anywhere
You wouldn't leave to just to save your life
Breathing in all this air that you've wasted
Fueled my lies of deep dispair
So brace yourself
I am the nightmare awakened
Crawling in your bed tonight
Pull your covers over your eyes
Say goodnight
It's gonna hurt when I'm gone
I've always cared for you
It's hard to admit when I'm wrong
But you should know, know the truth
Disconnected, affected I can't lie
Fight myself just to stay awake
I've been told that I'm cold and I'm shameless
A heartache that won't go away
Catch your breath things have changed for the best now
No distress when the lights go out
I wonder if you'll forgive me somehow
Drowning out my deep dispair
So unaware of who I am
Just save yourself
I am the nightmare awakened
Crowling in your bed tonight
Pull your covers over your eyes,
Say goodnight
It's gonna hurt when I'm gone,
I've always cared for you
It's hard to admit when I'm wrong
But you should know, know the truth
Take cover,
Fight over,
Move faster,
Full armor
Your fearless!
Wake up and kill this dream
I am the nightmare awakened,
Crawling in your bed tonight
Pull your covers over your eyes,
Say goodnight
I am the nightmare awakened,
Crawling in your bed tonight
Pull your covers over your eyes,
Say goodnight
It's gonna hurt when I'm gone,
I've always cared for you
It's hard to admit when I'm wrong
But you should know, know the truth
The lyrics of Fight Like Sin's song "Nightmare" appear to be about a person who has been causing pain and distress to someone close to them, possibly a lover or a family member. The singer seems to be aware of the harm they are causing, and even describes themselves as a "nightmare awakened" in the chorus. Despite their awareness, they cannot seem to change their ways, and the person they are hurting is left feeling trapped and unable to escape.
The verses speak to the struggle of the singer to control their own destructive behavior, even as they acknowledge the hurt they are causing. The line "Fight myself just to stay awake" suggests an inner battle between their better intentions and their darker impulses. The chorus has a menacing tone, with the singer actively threatening their victim by saying "It's gonna hurt when I'm gone." However, they also claim to care for this person, complicating the dynamic between them.
The bridge of the song suggests a hint of remorse or regret, with the line "I wonder if you'll forgive me somehow" hinting at a desire to repair the damage caused. The final section of the song shifts to a more optimistic or empowering perspective, with the phrase "Wake up and kill this dream" encouraging the victim to reclaim agency and fight back against their tormentor.

@boyketer3585
"It's gonna hurt when I'm gone, I've always cared for you"
Am I the only one to think that, after hearing that, the song is about a monster who is actually a guardian of someone?

You are doing amazing job. You are introducing thousands of new bands. A music lover like me from India would never be able to find these bands and such amazing music. Thanks for this lovely gift. God bless.
