Morbid Lullabies
Q Strange Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning | Line by Line Meaning
Sweet dreams close your eyes
Listin to these morbid lullabies
Waken up in cold sweats in the middle of the night
Nightmares nightmares got you all a-fright
[Chorus]
Hope of sweet dreams I go to bed and close my eye lids
Instead I'm having visions images of gothic violence
I'm in a realm of darkness
Scared but can't stop this
Tossing and turning
On a blood stained carpet
Cant sleep
I close my eyes I hear screams
Morbid lullabies give my mind bad dreams
I'm seein blood splattered
Body parts scattered
Clinging to picture she no torn and tattered
And yo I'm mad and I've had it
And now myself should be pattered
And no I'm dreaming of a victim all beaten and battered
And as these faces of death they haunt my nightmares
My worst fears invading my brains sphere
Pains severe
As my heart pounds right through my chest
Years sense I've had a good rest
Depressed
Visions of death are now rotting like flesh
Voices in my head put my mind to the test
Time to reflect on the shit I did wrong
By this time tomorrow ill be gone
I still don't give a fuck
And I have no remorse
I'm dreaming of my body being turned into a corpse
Envisioning my soul rotting in the flames of hell
I don't wonna die or stay in this cell
But I don't got a choice
I gotta pay the price
Seein hellish bodies all sliced
Faces with no eyeballs in the sockets
Chasing me down as I flee into the darkness
The unknown
My minds in a zone and I'm froze
To just sit and let these sick thoughts roam
[Chorus x2]
Angels and demons play tug of war with my soul
I've lost control
Eternal bliss is my goal
I fold under pressure cause this life that I treasure
Is in a parallel dimension that's beyond human measure
Purgatory unsure where else in eternity
Embracing life but still flames are burning me
I'm turning the page to the next chapter of life
Cause after your life on earth ain't even half of your life
Its like passin the mic in infinite eternal cipher
Each emcee representing a new life
I deal with jealousy hate guilt and anger
Wanna make to higher ground but I'm in danger
Of negativity consuming my whole being
Corroding my soul with all the misery I'm seeing
I'm fleeing this rotting human shell forever
Demons chewing on my mind trying to sever
I touch with reality in my rationality
Now I'm battling multiple personalities - personalities
I can't sleep
[Chorus x3]
The lyrics of Q Strange's song Morbid Lullabies describe the struggles of the artist's mind while he tries to sleep, but instead ends up having violent visions and nightmares. The chorus speaks of the terrible dreams that haunt him at night and chase him into cold sweats. The artist paints a vivid picture of fear and agony as he finds himself in a realm of darkness, tossing and turning on a bloodstained carpet. The morbid lullabies he hears are responsible for his bad dreams and the image of blood splatter and body parts scattered make him cling to the picture of a victim who has been torn and tattered. The haunting imagery of faces of death, worst fears, and voices in his head puts his mind to the test.
Throughout the song, Q Strange struggles with his own mortality and the demons and angels that play tug of war with his soul. He describes his eternal bliss as his goal and the struggles of dealing with jealousy, hate, guilt, and anger. The artist seems to be searching for a way out of this rotting human shell, forever battling multiple personalities and negative thoughts. The dark and introspective tone of the lyrics perfectly mirrors the struggles of a troubled mind and the constant battle between good and evil.
