Nightmare
Love Automatic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know we're threats
Too late you won't escape from the nightmare
It's only in your head
It's a nightmare
So close your eyes and say your prays now.
There's a voice in the dark and it's clear and loud
But you won't get out, alive
Stay superstitious
Abandon faith
Nothing is sacred
And none feel safe tonight
You see the light begin to fade
You know we're threats
Too late you won't escape from the nightmare
It's only in your head
It's a nightmare,
So close your eyes and say your prays now.
There's a voice in the dark and it's clear and loud
Sure you can run,
But you won't get out, alive
Stay superstitious
Abandon faith
Nothing is sacred
And none feel safe tonight
You see the light begin to fade
You know we're threats
Too late you won't escape from the nightmare
It's only in your head
It's a nightmare
So close your eyes and say your prays now.
The song "Nightmare" by Love Automatic conveys a dark and eerie tone, with lyrics that suggest a sense of danger and fear. The opening line, "You see the light begin to fade", sets the stage for a feeling of unease and foreboding, as if the listener is being led into a dark and ominous place. The repetition of the phrase "It's a nightmare" reinforces this sense of dread, reminding us that what we are experiencing is not real, but rather a product of our imagination.
The chorus, "So close your eyes and say your prayers now", can be interpreted in a number of ways. It could suggest that the only way to escape the nightmare is to pray for deliverance, or it could be a warning to those who may have fallen asleep in real life, that the nightmare is drawing closer and they must be prepared to face it head on. The following lines, "There's a voice in the dark and it's clear and loud/Sure you can run, but you won't get out alive", reinforce this sense of impending danger, suggesting that the nightmare has taken on a life of its own and poses a real threat to the listener.
In the verses, the lyrics take a slightly more abstract turn, with lines like "Stay superstitious/Abandon faith/Nothing is sacred/And none feel safe tonight". Here, the songwriter is suggesting that in times of crisis, people often cling to superstition and abandon their faith, as they struggle to make sense of the chaos around them. The reference to "nothing is sacred" suggests that even the most sacred institutions and beliefs can be challenged or threatened in times of crisis, leaving people feeling vulnerable and unsure of their place in the world.

I saw this video 8 years ago and I binged this song for the longest time. I lost touch with the song but today, the artist liked my comment from all those years ago. This is amazing! Thanks Love Automatic, you've helped rekindle my love for this song!
