Nightmare
Living Dead Stars Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And someone takes control over me
Like a bullet form a magazine it tears me down it keeps me in
It shows me that I'm fragile like my skin
My life is like a horror scene that Hollywood would like to screen
Impossible to find escape within
I drown in poison and in fear that no one else will find me here
I can't wake up and I can't disappear
Join my nightmare
Hear me screaming out there
I'm the architect of your dreams
I'm the creature in the dark
I am the call from nowhere
And I'm the darkness in your heart
Hell is breaking over me I'm here for all eternity
A hundred miles away from the escape
I need to run I need to fight need to get this stuff out of my mind
Before I break in pieces
Join my nightmare
Hear me screaming out there
I'm the architect of your dreams
I'm the creature in the dark
I am the call from nowhere
And I'm the darkness in your heart

Hell is breaking over me I'm here for all eternity
I feel trapped and doomed to suffer forever
And someone takes control over me
I am being manipulated and controlled by another
Like a bullet form a magazine it tears me down it keeps me in
My problems cause me great pain and hold me back
It shows me that I'm fragile like my skin
My experiences have made me vulnerable and weak
My life is like a horror scene that Hollywood would like to screen
My life is full of terrifying events that could be a movie plot
Impossible to find escape within
I cannot find a way to escape from my problems within myself
I drown in poison and in fear that no one else will find me here
I am overwhelmed by negativity and am afraid no one will help me
I can't wake up and I can't disappear
I am unable to change my situation and cannot just make it go away
Join my nightmare
Experience the same pain and trauma as me
Hear me screaming out there
Listen to my cries for help
I'm the architect of your dreams
I control what you experience in your subconscious mind
I'm the creature in the dark
I am the source of your deepest fears and anxieties
I am the call from nowhere
I am the sudden, inexplicable onset of stress and panic
And I'm the darkness in your heart
I am the negative emotions and thoughts that you carry with you always
