CODE RED

At night in my head, sirens haunt my dreams
At night in my bed, sirens haunt my dreams

Chant.....

Run for cover, hide, camouflage, disguise

Code Red !!! Code Red !!! Code Red !!! Code Red !!!
Nightmares in My head....

At night, oh so leaden, sirens haunt my dreams,
Mental Armageddon, sirens haunt my dreams..

Chant.....

Run for cover hide, camouflage, disguise
Falling, falling, falling......
Run for cover hide, camouflage, disguise





Code Red !!! Code Red !!! Code Red !!! Code Red !!!
Nightmares in My head....

Overall Meaning

The song "Code Red" by Screaming Headless Torsos is a deeply introspective look at the anxiety and fear that can plague a person's mind. The recurring chorus of "Code Red!!!" seems to be calling attention to the sense of urgency and danger that the singer feels, with the sirens in their dreams representing an ominous warning. The chant to "run for cover, hide, camouflage, disguise" adds to the atmosphere of paranoia and fear, as the singer feels trapped and uncertain. The repetition of the line "nightmares in my head" further emphasizes the sense of distress and unease that the singer experiences.


The lyrics also touch on the idea of mental health struggles as a form of "mental Armageddon," suggesting that the singer's inner turmoil is overwhelming and apocalyptic. The use of the word "leaden" to describe the nights when the sirens haunt the singer's dreams adds to the heavy and oppressive feeling of dread. Overall, the song seems to be an expression of the anxiety and fear that can take hold of a person's thoughts, causing them to feel trapped and vulnerable.
