Night Terror
Saint-Samuel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Go bump in the night
There are things that
Will make you cover your eyes
There are signs that
They lurk down below
Watch your back
You better watch your back
And wait for you to not recognize
That the traps that they laid
Will send you straight to your grave
Oh no
You better keep your eyes open
Cause you'll think it's a dream
But what kind of dream
Could this possibly be
When the voices are mean
And they won't let you go
Til they take what you owe
Oh no
They're not concerned with what's in your pocket
Don't turn out the light
In the darkness they thrive
And there's no point in hiding
You can't escape their sight
Just bide
Bide your time
There are things that
Go bump in the night
And there things that
Wanna give you a try
And they've all got a taste for blood
And their sights set on you
Keep your eyes wide open
Sometimes they hide in plain sight
And wait for you to not recognize
That the traps that they laid
Will send you straight to your grave
Oh no
You better watch your back
Cause you'll think it's a dream
But what kind of dream
Could this possibly be
When the voices are mean
And they won't let you go
Til you pay with your soul
Oh no
You can't be mad now that you've bought it
The voice that you had
Is left in the past
You can't get it back now
They take all you've got
And become your god
Look what you're left with now
There are things that
Go bump in the night
And things that you think you can fight
But you don't hold a candle
To someone that brings you the knife
There's no turning back
Sometimes they hide in plain sight
And wait for you to not recognize
That the traps that they've laid
Will send you straight to your grave
Oh no
Better watch your back now
The lyrics of "Night Terror" by Saint-Samuel paint a haunting and ominous picture of the lurking dangers that exist in the darkness of night. The song delves into the themes of fear, deception, and the unknown entities that can threaten one's safety. The repetition of phrases like "there are things that go bump in the night" and "you better watch your back" adds a sense of foreboding and urgency to the narrative.
The imagery created in the lyrics suggests a sense of vulnerability and unease, as the listener is warned to be cautious and vigilant in the face of these malevolent forces. The idea that these dangers can hide in plain sight and manipulate perception plays into the idea of a psychological thriller, where the true threat may not always be immediately apparent.
The lyrics also touch on the idea of paying a price for underestimating or disregarding these threats, as references to traps leading to one's grave and voices demanding payment with one's soul evoke a sense of inevitable consequences for ignorance or negligence. The lyrics urge the listener to stay alert and not be deceived by what may initially appear as harmless or ordinary.
Overall, "Night Terror" by Saint-Samuel serves as a cautionary tale about the perils that can arise in the darkness, both literal and metaphorical. The sense of impending danger and the feeling of being constantly watched or pursued create a tense and suspenseful atmosphere throughout the song, leaving the listener on edge and emphasizing the importance of remaining aware of the potential dangers that may be lurking just out of sight.
