Your Best Nightmare
London After Midnight Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Long after midnight, on a night like this
I'd sit by my black light and dream of your kiss
Pulsating music filled my room and my head
And I dreamed what it'd be like to have you in my bed

I'm your best nightmare

And then it happened, you were in my arms
Your lips on my throat your hands on my, on my
Two bodies together the intimate sin
The pain and the pleasure could do mortals in
How could you know what I'm thinking of
To me lust can be as beautiful as love
Here tonight, your pure heart and soul
Untainted passion should have no control

She asked me if I
I told her the truth
I said I'm sorry it takes me longer than you
She smiled and blushed and continued to grind
And promised to make me go out of my mind

returning her promise she came to a halt
Licking my lips I tasted her salt
Then she sat up and gasped and clutched at her breast
I thought she was coming I'd never have guessed that
As she grew pale, as white as a flower
She collapsed to the floor and was dead in an hour

I'm your best nightmare

Line by Line Meaning

Long after midnight, on a night like this
In the wee hours of the morning, during times like these


I'd sit by my black light and dream of your kiss
I would frequently fantasize about the idea of kissing you while in my dark room illuminated by a black light


Pulsating music filled my room and my head
My surroundings were filled with the throbbing sounds of loud music, encompassing my thoughts and my surroundings


And I dreamed what it'd be like to have you in my bed
My imagination would wander aimlessly, pondering what it would be like to have you sleeping beside me


I'm your best nightmare
I am the nightmare that you cannot escape from, the thought of which will haunt you incessantly


And then it happened, you were in my arms
As fate had it, you had found yourself nestled in my embrace


Your lips on my throat your hands on my, on my
Our intimacy had peaked, as you explored my throat with your soft lips and my body with your gentle hands


Two bodies together the intimate sin
We joined together in a forbidden embrace, the blessing of which was bestowed upon only a privileged few


The pain and the pleasure could do mortals in
The blend of both agony and ecstasy were enough to make even the strongest human succumb to our passion


How could you know what I'm thinking of
How could you possibly comprehend the depths of my thoughts and secrets?


To me lust can be as beautiful as love
In my world, the beauty of physical desire could rival that of true love


Here tonight, your pure heart and soul
On this very night, you stand before me with an innocent heart and soul


Untainted passion should have no control
The raw emotion that we share cannot possibly be contained nor controlled


She asked me if I
She inquired of me


I told her the truth
I provided her with an honest answer


I said I'm sorry it takes me longer than you
I expressed regret in the fact that I require additional time than she does


She smiled and blushed and continued to grind
She grinned and blushed before continuing with her actions, eagerly moving back and forth against me


And promised to make me go out of my mind
She vowed to drive me to the point of insanity with her actions and behavior


returning her promise she came to a halt
She stopped mid-action while fulfilling her earlier promise


Licking my lips I tasted her salt
I ran my tongue over my lips and tasted her salty essence


Then she sat up and gasped and clutched at her breast
Suddenly, she lurched forward, gasping for breath and clutching at her chest


I thought she was coming I'd never have guessed that
I initially believed that she was on the cusp of experiencing pleasure, never having anticipated the revelation that was to come


As she grew pale, as white as a flower
Her complexion grew increasingly ghostly, akin to that of a pale, white flower


She collapsed to the floor and was dead in an hour
She fell to the ground and succumbed to death, with her life coming to an end mere hours later
