Nightmares
Patricia Majalisa Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Nightmare!! Now your nightmare comes to life
Dragged you down below down to the devil's show,
To be his guest forever,
Peace of mind is less than never
Hate to twist your mind, but God ain't on your side
An old acquaintance severed,
Render of your last endeavor
Ashes burning, you can smell it in the air,
Cause men like you have such an easy soul to steal.
So stand in line while banging numbers in your head,
You're now a slave until the end of time
And nothing stops the madness turning,
haunting, yearning, pull the trigger!
You should have known
The price of evil,
And it hurts to know that you belong here, yeah
Ooooh, it's your f@#kin' nightmare
While your nightmare comes to life
Can't wake up in sweat, cause it ain't over yet,
Still dancing with your demons,
Victim of your own creation beyond the will to fight,
Where all that's wrong is right
where hate don't need a reason
Love is self-assassination
You've been lied to just to rape you of your sight,
And now they have the nerve to tell you how to feel.
So sedated as they medicate your brain
And while ya slowly go insane the tell you
Give in with your best intentions
Help ya with your complications
You should have known the price of evil
And it hurts to know that you belong here, yeah
No one to call, everybody to fear
Your tragic fate is looking so clear, yeah.
Ooooo it's your f@#kin' nightmare ha ha ha ha!!
guitar solo
(ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
Fight, fight, not to fail, fail
Not to fall, fall anekatips
Or you'll end up like the others.
Die, die, die again, die
Drenched in sin, sin
With no respect for another
Oh!
Death, You!
Feel the fire, fire
Feel the hate, hate
Your pain is what we desire.
Lost, lost, hit the wall, wall
Watch you crawl, crawl
Such a replaceable liar.
And I know you hear their voices
(calling from above),
And I know they may seem real
(these signals of love),
But a life's made up of choices
(some without appeal),
They took for granted your soul
And it's ours now to steal
As your nightmare comes to life
You should have known the price of evil
And it hurts to know that you belong here, yeah.
No one to call, everybody to fear,
Your tragic fate is looking so clear, yeah
ooooh it's your f@#kin' nightmare!

And now they have the nerve to tell you how to feel.
Even in this terrible place, you're being told what to do and how to think


So sedated as they medicate your brain
You're drugged and numbed to make you easier to control


And while ya slowly go insane the tell you
You're losing your mind and the people controlling you are just laughing


Give in with your best intentions
Even when you're trying your best, you're still being forced to give in

You're viewed as disposable and unimportant, even if you tried to lie and save yourself


And I know you hear their voices (calling from above),
You're hearing the voices of the people who have already been damned to this place


And I know they may seem real (these signals of love),
The voices may seem comforting, but they're not really showing you love


But a life's made up of choices (some without appeal),
Your fate may seem inevitable, but you still have choices to make


They took for granted your soul
The people in power were so confident in their ability to manipulate you that they treated you like you had no value


And it's ours now to steal
Your soul now belongs to the people in power


Oooooh it's your f@#kin' nightmare
This is your nightmare and it's all you have left to face
