Night Terror
Mr.Kitty Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Eyes wide
The air's thin
Can't hold
Fear within

My lust for blood is strong
Can't pierce my iron lung
Dense fog
I can't see
Which form
You will be

I'm just a wandering soul
You will have no control

This night terror lives inside my mind
Through fog and smoke, this one's hard to find
Don't wake me up, the demon's not a lie
I won't back down, fight until I die

Fists clenched
Muscles tense
Weakness
I can't sense

Why do you choose to fight
So far from Heaven's light

You're close
Attack me
Don't stop
I won't flee

How dare you defy me
My hands will make you bleed

This night terror lives inside my mind
Through fog and smoke, this one's hard to find




Don't wake me up, the demon's not a lie
I won't back down, fight until I die

Overall Meaning

The first verse of Mr. Kitty's Night Terror paints a picture of an intense fear that the singer is experiencing. Their eyes are wide with fear and the air feels thin, as if it's closing in on them. They cannot contain this fear within themselves, and it's seeping out into the atmosphere. The second line of the verse suggests that there is a desire for violence, a "lust for blood". However, the singer is unable to act on it, as they have an "iron lung" - could this be a metaphor for an inner struggle, a conflict between the desire to give in to their violent tendencies and the desire to stay in control?


In the second verse, the singer mentions a dense fog that limits their vision. They cannot see what form the person they encounter will take. The singer sees themselves as a "wandering soul" and the person in the fog has "no control" over them. The person in the fog could represent an adversary, someone who may be threatening or attempting to control the singer.


The chorus repeats the idea of the "night terror" that lives inside the singer's mind. The fog and smoke present a difficult obstacle to overcome in finding the source of this terror. The demon the singer speaks of is not a lie, and they will not back down in their fight against it. This implies that this terror is an ongoing battle, something that the singer regularly struggles with.

Well I'm not used to talking about my life but now I feel I cannot stop
I saw a man and I thought he had my face I heard a preacher and I thought he had my voice
Up on a train since the moment I opened my eyes sometimes I'm sure I've seen this place again but deep in my Heart there's some courage and some hope and certainty that these rails will never end
Feels that I'm growing but this world is getting small
I cannot take it anymore

Well here I stand in the center of the scene with all the lights pointing right in my head
But in the dark there's a man that can't be seen holding a gun with all the power of his hand


The show is over and the applause pricks my ear the hall is empty and the man is getting bigger
He closes his eyes but serenity is gone he laughs at me and at once he pulls the trigger
Feels that I'm growing but this world is getting small
I cannot take it anymore

Now as I lay dead upon the floor I know my name will never be forgotten
I see that train getting lost inside the smoke and my body being fresh instead of rotten
Feels that I'm growing but this world is getting small
I cannot take it anymore
