Nightmare
MSG Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Scared like my dreams made their mark
I wonder
Dreamer always alone
Lost in a part of myself I can't find anymore
I wonder if it's gonna end tonight
I can't sleep alone anymore
Even though I closed all the doors
There's somethin' holdin' me
Never Ending Nightmare
Always there instead of you
Never Ending Nightmare
No escape this time from you
Lately been around someone new
Needed to fill in the space
That once sheltered you
Still I worry, if you're gonna be alright
I can't sleep alone anymore
Need someone here with me
All I ever wanted and more
My dreams are fighting for
Never Ending Nightmare
Always there instead of you
Never Ending Nightmare
Punishing me for the things I do
Never ending Nightmare
No escape this time from you
The lyrics to the song 'Nightmare' by MSG, or Michael Schenker Group, express a person's intense fear or dread of being alone, particularly at night when they are most vulnerable. The singer is lying in the dark, feeling scared and vulnerable because his dreams have taken hold and he can't shake them off. He feels like a dreamer who is always alone and lost in his own thoughts, unable to connect with anyone else. He wonders if this feeling of isolation and despair is ever going to end.
The lyrics also touch upon the theme of lost love and heartbreak. The singer has been with someone who helped him fill a void in his life, but he has since moved on to someone new. However, he still worries about his former lover and wonders if they are going to be alright without him. He has a never-ending nightmare that keeps him in a constant state of fear and anxiety, punishing him for the things he has done.
The song has a melancholic and somber tone to it, with intense guitar solos and piercing vocals. It speaks to the universal feeling of loneliness and the struggle to find meaning and connection in life. It's a powerful and emotive song, one that resonates with many people who have gone through difficult times in their lives.

Punishing me for the things I do
Feeling judged by the bad feelings even when trying to do better
