Nightmare
GD x T.O.P. Lyrics

The lyrics of "Nightmare" by GD x T.O.P. demonstrate a struggle to communicate and be understood. The first line, "Spill my heart," presents vulnerability and openness, but the following line, "Rip my head apart," complicates this sentiment. It seems as though the singer is willing to share their feelings, but they are afraid of being misunderstood, or worse, rejected. The next lines suggest that the singer is reflecting on something that they've found out and trying to make sense of it. They ask if there is any doubt and if they can explain it, indicating a hesitancy to act without a clear understanding of the situation. The lines, "It's not mine to decide, I guess I'll just accept you're right and I'll fight for this side, till I lose my will again," reveal a sense of resignation in the face of conflict, but also a willingness to persevere for what they believe in, regardless of the outcome.

The chorus is haunting, with the repetition of the phrase, "Seductive voices of the dead, their words bear more weight than the rest." This can be interpreted as the internal battle between rational thought and self-doubt. The "voices of the dead" could represent previous failures or negative experiences that continue to have a hold on the singer, making it difficult for them to move forward confidently. The question, "Would you hear me better if my voice was only in your head?" implies a desire for validation and understanding, but also acknowledges that the singer is responsible for their own beliefs and that they cannot depend solely on external validation.

In the final lines, "You rescind the weight of kingdoms you built on ruins freshly leveled so the roots can grow again and feel the sun again, what was left and what it means, just slashing through this make believe," the singer takes control of their surroundings by removing the weight of their own expectations and allowing themselves to start anew. They recognize the importance of the past, but ultimately decide to let it go, knowing that it will allow for growth and new beginnings.

Overall, "Nightmare" delves into the complexities of communication and self-doubt, while ultimately coming to a conclusion of acceptance and growth.
