Place Of Nightmares
Valley's Eve Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here I am again
I can't be extinguished easily
Because I am a part of yourself
I come whenever I want, taking your sleep, the quiet
There will be no way to escape from me
And our story will start once again Don't turn back, I'll always be in front of you
Look in the mirror: you will get to know
Everything which you always wanted to know
Look out of the window. Do you remember the days?
It has been a long time. You have forgotten me But I always stayed near by you
Do you remember the night where all the pictures died? Here is the place of you own nightmares
Firmly in my hands
Black angels will come, black angels will leave
Until the day you have defeated yourself Did you feel the pain I have injured you?
As your life went by in pictures, like a movie
In only one mement I have effected all of your dreams
Even without having a bad consciece I'm what you fear most: The other side of your self
And I will stay until you have defeated yourself Here is the place of your own nightmares
Firmly in my hands




Black angels will come, black angels will leave
Until the day you have defeated yourself

Overall Meaning

The song "Place Of Nightmares" by Valley's Eve starts with the singer acknowledging the inherent darkness and fear that exists within them. They cannot be easily extinguished because they are a part of the singer's self. The singer's fear comes and takes away their sleep, their peace, their quiet. There is no escape from this fear and their story will always start again. The singer implores the listener not to turn back because their fear will always be in front of them. The song then moves to describe the place of the singer's nightmares, a place where they have forgotten their fear but it has never left them. The singer describes the night where all the pictures died, a metaphor for a moment in their life where everything changed and they were left with nothing but their fear. The singer acknowledges that they are what the listener fears the most: the other side of themselves.


Overall, the song seems to be an exploration of the idea of fear and how it is an integral part of our selves.
