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
The lyrics to Kayzo YULTRON feat. Of Mice & Men's song "Night Terror" speaks of a personal struggle with nightmares and the demons that haunt the mind when the eyes are closed. The song starts with the singer closing his eyes and trying to count sheep to calm down and drift off to sleep. However, the sound of the TV, a symbol for the noise and chaos of the world, keeps reminding him that the end is near. At this moment, the singer forgets reality and drifts away into his dreams. He considers the world a wasteland that humans have created, and he finds himself paralyzed inside his own terrifying reality because he is unable to escape the shadow of his dreams.
The chorus of the song juxtaposes the singer's attempts to run away from his nightmares but finding himself ensnared by the devil. The devil, a representation of the singer's fears and anxieties, has taken hold of him, making him feel trapped and alone. In the second verse, the singer pleads for someone to awaken him from his nightmare, but he is trapped inside his reality, unable to scream or express his emotions. The singer finds himself unable to escape from the grasp of the devil, who has a firm hold over his mind and soul.
Overall, "Night Terror" is a powerful song about the dangers of nightmares and the demons that can consume the mind. It speaks about the struggles of living in a world filled with chaos and how that chaos can affect one's mental state.
