Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Nightmares, yeah they been killing me
Whenever I wake up can't go back to sleep
I know that these demons they been watching me
Didn't know that demon was you though

Nightmares, yeah they been killing me
Whenever I wake up can't go back to sleep
I know that these demons they been watching me
Didn't know that demon was you though

Everything's blurry, blurry, blurry, blurry (Hey, hey)
Pills got me fucked up, mix that Hennessy
I know that you always gone be in a hurry
But I know these pills won't leave me

I've been breaking laws
I've been breaking fucking barriers
I've been breaking hearts
And its getting only scarier
I ain't got time cuz it won't be better now
Let me fucking die cause I know that I am ready now

Mr. Heartbreak yeah I'm feeling like I used to
You know we won't last, we gone fall like a loose tooth
Someday we gone shine bright like the stars
But even then you know we gone fall apart

Nightmares, yeah they been killing me
Whenever I wake up can't go back to sleep
I know that these demons they been watching me
Didn't know that demon was you now

Nightmares, yeah they been killing me
Whenever I wake up can't go back to sleep
I know that these demons they been watching me
Didn't know that demon was you now

Getting high, by the fucking daily now (Daily now)
Suicide, that's all I can think about (Think about)
Getting by, isn't as easy as it seems (As it seems)
Can you see what i'm talking about (Talking about)
Yeah I run around (Run around)
Trynna get away from you and my own mind (My own mind)
I know I look happy but I'm sad inside (Sad inside)
Wishing we could put everything aside, hey

Come over to me, (Yah, yah)
I know that you bleed, (Yah, yah)




Whenever I'm not there for you
I know that you act all cool, hey

Overall Meaning

The Sinners' song "Nightmare" is a haunting and melancholic track that delves into the theme of suffering and pain caused by demonic nightmares. The opening lyrics state that the nightmares have been slowly killing the singer, and he cannot go back to sleep once he wakes up. He is aware of the demons watching him but did not know that one of those demons was the person he trusted, loved, and cared for deeply. The demons in this song signify the internal conflicts and struggles the singer is dealing with, and it leads to a feeling of helplessness and despair.


The chorus repeats the opening lyrics with an added emphasis on how the demons were not just the ones in the nightmares, but also those around him, including the person he trusted. The use of the word 'blurry' gives the impression of confusion and the singer's inability to make sense of things due to a heavy intake of pills mixed with alcohol. Despite the situation, the singer understands that he is not alone and that he is not the only one stuck in a hurry to remove the pain. He is breaking laws, barriers, and hearts left and right, and the situation is getting scarier, indicating a decreasing level of control over his life.


The lyrics "Mr. Heartbreak" suggest that the singer has gone through similar pain before and knows the routine, yet it always leaves a devastating effect on him. In contrast, the last two lines of the song opine a sense of hope and wish to find a middle ground with loved ones. The song is an emotional journey of exploring one's inner turmoil and the pain that comes with it.

Para mí NIGHTMARE tiene un significado muy especial, considero a estas personas realmente muy especiales en mi vida. Amo la banda muchísimo más que a cualquier otra, son mis favoritos. He sido fan aproximadamente por 4 años y cada día estoy más feliz de haberlos conocido, amo a cada miembro, su maravillosa musica, su amistad, su compañerismo, sus buenos y malos momentos. Hubiese querido estar desde el inicio apoyándolos como se merecen pero estoy ahora, justo en el momento en que regresan para seguir dando su mejor esfuerzo para sus fans y seguiran creando música que quede para siempre en nuestros corazones ♥.  He conocido fans maravillosos, muchos se han ido otros se han ido sumando, soy feliz compartiendo sobre la banda que más me gusta con ellos. NIGHTMARE me ha dado la oportunidad de apreciar la música con el corazón, me ha dado amistades super especiales.  Hay algo por lo cual no debo estar agradecida con ellos?? He disfrutado cada instante desde que regresaron. Mis comentarios sobre este single: me siento realmente conmovida por lo maravillosa que son las canciones del single, esperaba con ansias la liberación del MV Sinners!!! hasta que finalmente llegó el día!!!  Espero seguir apoyando a NIGHTMARE de aquí en adelante incluso aun más que todos estos años. 🥺💕💕💕

Es realmente bueno tenerlos de vuelta. Los conocí durante su hiatus lo cual me puso triste cuando me enteré, pero ahora que regresaron es simplemente wow. Estoy muy feliz de poder acompañarlos en esta nueva etapa 🖤
