Make Friends With Your Nightmares
Wolf Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I try to stay awake, but I'm so tired I almost break
Breathing gets heavy and the images appear
I'm caught within a dream, cannot wake up neither scream
Visiting hours for imaginary friends

Losing control
Trapped inside myself

The voices telling me, they scream inside of me
They are compelling me to do their sinful deeds
Cannot turn anywhere, caught in the demon's lair
I have nowhere to go I do as I am told

Losing control
Trapped inside myself
Losing my soul
I must be someone else

Make friends with your nightmares
Make friends with your nightmares

I'll stay away from my bloody self
I'm not safe, not even from myself

The things that I have seen, the things that I have been
Or maybe I still am, you wouldn't understand

Losing control
Feel so good inside
Losing my soul
I'm not afraid this time

Make friends with your nightmares
Make friends with your nightmares

Make friends with your nightmares
Make friends with your nightmares

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Wolf's song Make Friends With Your Nightmares depict a person who is struggling to stay awake due to physical and emotional exhaustion. As they drift off into sleep, their breathing becomes heavy and they start to see disturbing images. The dream becomes so intense that the person is unable to wake up or even scream. In this dream world, they are trapped and unable to control what happens to them. They are visited by imaginary friends who are compelling them to do sinful deeds. The person feels like they are losing control, trapped inside themselves and losing their soul. They need to make friends with their nightmares, embrace them instead of running away.

The second verse talks about the things that the person has seen and been through - possibly alluding to past trauma. They feel like they are not safe, not even from themselves. However, they are not afraid this time, they feel good inside. The chorus repeats the message of making friends with nightmares, implying that instead of pushing away the scary parts of ourselves, we should learn to accept and understand them.

The song speaks to our inner demons and the importance of confronting and accepting them instead of repressing them. It urges us to embrace the dark parts of ourselves and to befriend them instead of running from them.
