ゆめと云って 抱きしめて
廃墟の街に 見覚えがある
あなたと めくった 写真集の中
どうしてひとり あたしはひとり
すぐに すぐに 夢なんだと気づく
瓦礫を走る なにか蹴飛ばす
はやくいかなきゃ
はやくいかなきゃ
どこかで あなたの声がしてるの
動いている 時の中しか
永遠なんて 見えないんだ...
今 何時か教えて
ゆめと云って 抱きしめて
止まりかけた あたしの心を
動かして お願い
隣に あなたはいる
たぶん 違う夢をみて
太陽なんか いらない
あなたの笑顔が 今 恋しくて
あなたを想う こんなに想う
そんな あたしを ゆめで
みつけたの
もっと知りたい もっと知りたい
あなたのことを もっと もっと
知りたい
なんとかしなきゃ
しっかりしなきゃ
どんな世界にも せつなさか溢れる
時が愛しい なぜか愛しい
今はもっと あなたを知りたい
忘れてたよ 信じなければ
どんなことでも はじまらないんだ
一分一秒でも ずっと ずっと
抱きしめて
悪い夢を みていただけと
囁いてください
隣に あなたがいた
今も きっと そばにいるの
アラームが鳴ったって
あなたの声しか 届かないんだ
とろけたいんだ
頭 痛いんだ
"君を守る"とか
たまには聞きたいんだ
はじけたいんだ
笑っていたいんだ
はじめたいんだ
今 何時か教えて
ゆめと云って 抱きしめて
止まりかけた あたしの心を
動かして お願い
隣に あなたはいる
たふん 違う夢をみて
太陽なんか いらない
あなたの笑顔が 今 恋しくて
The lyrics to Snow's song "NightmaRe" tell a story of a person who is lost and searching for answers. The first stanza features the singer asking for the time and then asking to be embraced and called a dream. The person then describes a city in ruins that they recognize from a photo album they had looked at with another person. This leads the singer to wonder why they are alone and they quickly realize that they must be in a dream as they run across rubble and search for a way to wake up. The singer hears a voice calling out, but they know that the only way to escape the dream is to leave quickly.
The second half of the song features the singer expressing their love and desire for the person they were with in the photo album. They want to know more about the person and feel that they must become stronger and more resolute to do so. The singer believes that even the most painful moments are worth experiencing if the person they love is by their side. They ask for the person to whisper to them when they have nightmares and express their longing for the person's smile.
Overall, the song expresses a sense of longing and desperation for someone who is lost and searching for answers. The lyrics suggest that even the most difficult and painful moments are worth experiencing if there is someone to share them with.
