Nightmare
Hinge Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Something strange I cannot Follow
How you want me to
However small it seems so shallow
If you only knew
Such a feeling for words so hollow
What I'd done to you
You'd cry
ME + you = NIGHTMARE
You took it all away
I alone replace what's broken
Nothing left to say
Muted words that were not spoken
If and when I may
Life is over - lack of motion
Shamed is where I lay
I tried
ME + you = NIGHTMARE
Never before have I felt so hollow
First one to lead and now I follow
Carry the things that I cannot dismiss
Never again do I think I will feel this
NEVER again do I think I will feel this
Me + you = nightmare




You worthless piece of shit
Me + you =nightmare

Something strange I cannot Follow
I don't understand what you want from me


How you want me to
I don't know how to please you

Even the little things seem insignificant to you

What I'd done to you
I've hurt you in a way that I can't reverse

We were a terrible match


You worthless piece of shit
I'm angry and hurt by your actions

Our time together was a nightmare

Story 2.... Yeah I'm not Coraline ....

But I went through my childhood teens and twenties with night terrors - no PTSD cause, but a rem disorder. They got worse and worse until it became diagnosable as full blown type 1 narcolepsy. The NTs have always been part of my dating life though so I was never embarrassed by it. It was just normal for me. Of course I'd warn those that could possibly witness it but thankfully never have been that potentially violent.

The narcolepsy however ..... Doesn't ever stop me, and I'm not ashamed by it, I'm very open from the offset ...... But I occasionally get a little annoyed with it if I'm hanging out with someone new that doesn't have prior experience or understanding and that I'm not 100% comfortable with already. Not very cool to wake up on your sofa at 3am and find your neck sore and mouth dry after sitting with head flopped back like a ragdoll, mouth gaping open (and most probably snoring) Having fallen asleep in an instant without warning and your evening's company has had to let themselves out because they either couldn't or didn't know if they really should wake you 🙈

Here's a tip though - if you ever are beside someone and they look awake but terrified of something, do not touch them. They are hallucinating, think that they are fully conscious and you will more than likely become whatever monster they are seeing.

Instead, carefully and quickly get to the light switch - as soon as the light flicked on, I used to snap right out of it 😊 not saying it works for everyone, but a safer option to try for both of you.

I'm glad that dude was impressed and found Coraline to be brave and admirable for not letting it stop her, at first I was sad at the thought she was being a little too insecure and dramatic - just shows how we all deal with these things differently though..... But then after the revelation that she would get violent rather than simply hysterically scream and blindly run for her life like I used to do hahaha....

I hope that she's better - and I thank the story teller dude on behalf of all people suffering with neurological conditions such as these for being so supportive and cool. If you are real and the story genuine, I hope you one day reconnect with her :)

Oh god, the person in story 2 sounds so wholesome. They understood about her car crash and her fear of having night terrors, so they waited months for her to be ready. (to sleep in the same house.) And the moment she had a night terror, they didn’t hold it against her, but wanted to take care of her. Major good vibes. <3

Jennifer Moleski

She was hot. Men like that.

I love how not only do you post videos often, but they're long ones, too. They're just perfect for laying back and relaxing. :)
