Nightmare
Torment Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm awake, but I wish I was dead
I'm awake, all these dreams fill my head
But they're nightmares
And I'm crawling back
I'm awake, breathing toxic air
I'm awake, breathing toxic air
It's not a nightmare, I live in it
And I know that you don't
Wanna hear what I say
But I'm slowly floating away
I'm here, yeah, smile on my face
I'm here, yeah, but I hate this empty space
It's such a nightmare, I live in it
And I know that you don't
Wanna hear what I say
But I'm slowly floating away
And I know that you don't
Wanna hear what I say
But I'm slowly floating away
And you say hold on my friend
One day, your nightmare will end
And I say hold on my friend
One day, your nightmare will end
Hold on my friend
Hold on my friend




Hold on my friend
Hold on my friend

Overall Meaning

In Torment's song "Nightmare," the singer is struggling with something that is calling to them and controlling them to the point where they cannot resist. The lyrics suggest that death is present and that the singer may need to call upon it again. The singer reflects on what they have done and realizes that there is nothing around them. The living have gone, leaving only the bones of those who will serve them when the nightmares become reality.


The chorus emphasizes the need for the singer and their kind to feed their hunger and ensure their survival, despite the fact that there is nothing left for them. The song concludes by saying that they must say goodbye to the world they know and embrace a new world of loneliness and desperation.

There’s nothing around us. The livings are gone.

There’s nothing here left for us.
There is nothing for us to find or seek in this desolate place.


Just the bones of those who shall serve us when the nightmares become reality.
All that remains around us are the bones of those who will serve us in a world of nightmares that we expect to come.


We must feed our ravenous, we shall survive for all eternity.
We must satisfy our intense hunger if we wish to live eternally.


But there’s nothing here left for us just the bones of those who shall serve us
Even though there is nothing for us to find, we still have the bones of our future servants.


Let’s shut down our hunger.
It is time for us to control our hunger and suppress it.


It’s time for us to say goodbye to the world we know nowadays.
We must let go of the world we know and move on.


While the darkness surrounds our bodies and confuses our minds…and time goes by…
While we are engulfed in darkness and confusion, time continues to pass.


Shall the time erase the memories of the dead and let forget the livings our mistakes, while time goes by.
As time passes, it may cause the memories of the dead to fade and allow the living to forget our mistakes.


Let’s welcome a new world of loneliness and desperation.
We must embrace a new world that is filled with loneliness and despair.

You're in a nightmare you cant get out
You don't know what's happening or what it's about
You're in a nightmare you cant get out
You don't know what's happening or what it's about
You're in a nightmare- You're in a nightmare
You're in a nightmare - You better beware
