Kayzo saw his break in 2012 when he was selected as the winner of Insomniac’s ‘Discovery Project’ Challenge (http://bit.ly/1nCWSCV) with a mind-blowing mix featuring every genre under the sun. This win gave him the opportunity to play a set at Insomniac’s ‘Beyond Wonderland’ festival where he captivated an audience and melted faces. Did we mention that this was his first gig ever?
Since then, Kayzo has exploded onto the scene with an eclectic collection of remixes and original compositions.

Night Terror
Kayzo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Counting sheep to the sound of the TV, said
It says the end is near (the end is near)
I drift away and I let myself forget
What a world
What a wasteland we've created
Covers everything
I try to run, I try to run
But the devil's got me
Yeah
Yeah, yeah
But the devil's got me
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
But the devil's got me
Awaken me (awaken me)
I'm paralyzed, trapped inside this reality
And when I try to scream (try to scream)
I drift away and I can't say anything
What a world
What a wasteland we've created
The shadow in my dreams
Covers everything
I try to run, I try to run
But the devil's got me
Yeah
Yeah, yeah
But the devil's got me
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
But the devil's got me
Kayzo's song "Night Terror" portrays the concept of being trapped within oneself and the terror that comes with it. The song starts with the lyrics "Eyes closed, counting sheep to the sound of the TV, said it says the end is near" indicating someone who is trying to sleep but cannot due to the overwhelming anxiety and uncertainty surrounding them. The singer begins to forget their problems and drift into a peaceful sleep. However, their peace is quickly disturbed by their nightmares, characterized by the lyrics "The shadow in my dreams covers everything, I try to run, I try to run, but the devil's got me." The shadow symbolizes the darkness within their mind, and the devil represents the singer's greatest fears and anxieties, which they can't seem to escape.
Furthermore, the song touches on the theme of societal decay, with lyrics like "What a world, what a wasteland we've created" expressing the decay and destruction we have brought upon ourselves. The lyrics "Awaken me, I'm paralyzed trapped inside this reality, and when I try to scream, I drift away and I can't say anything," demonstrate the singer's desperation to unshackle themselves from the prison that is their anxiety and anxieties.
Overall, "Night Terror" by Kayzo is a haunting anthem that explores themes of anxiety, fear, societal decay and uncertainty. It reaches out to people who have felt trapped within their own minds and encourages them to confront such issues and overcome them.
