Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Nines's song "Nightmare" convey the struggle the artist faces with his own mental health. He feels like he's going crazy and experiencing earthquakes in his head while his mind is breaking. Nines is unsure of whether or not he's truly crazy, and is tormented by the devil in his nightmares. The repetition of the phrase "take me" infers that he is interested in being free from his own agony.


The chorus contains a plea for someone to take him, perhaps indicating that he wants someone to help him through his struggles. However, the line "they don't know me but I'm crazy" suggests that Nines may feel misunderstood or isolated in dealing with his issues. It's possible that this could stem from a lack of understanding or support from those around him, as well as the stigma and shame often associated with mental illness.


This song shines a light on the importance of mental health awareness in the music industry, and in society as a whole. It's crucial for people to know that they are not alone, and to seek help if they experience similar struggles with their mental health.

*Yeah
I need ya to take your time right now
We're gonna slow it down, you know?
So roll that spliff, pour that ya
My nigga Nina's got some shit on his chest
This one called Nightmares, part two from Dreaming*
I remember when I went cunch with all my kilo
And feds took all of man's shit, pissed
Man was in the station for 3 days, you know
Come out with no Ps
That shit was fucked
I had to find a shot
'member that?
[?] cuh man got 3 cheeseburgers
Man hit that M-way [?] cut

Had a nightmare I went broke it's just me and Likkle T again
No one else wanted to be my friend
I'm all alone like a scarecrow
I put my last 20 in this roulette box, I really need a zero
My trainers look fucked up
I need to get a haircut
Plus this pedal bike got my joggin bottoms teared up
I feel like to do a mad ting
I swear I'd rob all them niggas callin me a hasbeen
It's comin like a broken mirror
I ain't net all day, now I'm eatin toast for dinner
I used to fly birds now the run's over
24 sleepin on my mum's sofa
I can't move keys, I got a dead line
Prep'ed all my deeds to bill a bedtime
Wish I could ask my guy for a loan
I woulda been rich if my nigga Hydro was home

[Interlude: Nines]
'Member when I lost all my P's in a booky
I had a likkle safe in my case and I cleaned out everything
Imagine, no one believed that I was broke too
Cuh my chain's swingin, lines blowin'
Tellin man on Thursday like "Are you dumb, you can't be broke"
Consign a ting [?]
Gang robbed that, so now I'm 18 bills minus 8

Had to pinch myself, I hope this is a dream
Cuh niggas that I thought were mandem's nowhere to be seen
I guess they all went when I pour my jewels
Dropped the last video and got 40 views
I shoulda stayed on this rap ting and started doin shows
Instead of movin Os
Entertainin stupid hoes
Now I'm stuck on the streets cuh that's all I know
I shoulda stayed on that plumbing course, saved all my dough
Thinkin 'bout when me and Midge had the newest whip
Flyin birds since 14, I ain't used to this
My nigga that I brought in never wanna know me
He had a new connect and a new [?]
My niggas stopped showin love, and all my bitches too
But watch how I bounce back when I flip this Q
It made my heart melt
When my mum's got bills to pay and I can't he
