Nightmare
Yellow Machinegun Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Life is lighter than air
War is collecting dust
Souls waste away
and tears dry up
Indifferent to the falling stone
Anxious about a ripple
We make up pile of wasted words
of the center
Reality is dimming
Life is lighter than air
War is collecting dust
Souls waste away
and tears dry up
Indifferent to the falling stone
Anxious about a ripple
We make up pile of wasted words
And are losing sight
of the center
The nightmare is repeated
The nightmare is repeated
The nightmare is repeated
We betray our hopes
Reality is dimming
Life is lighter than air
War is collecting dust
Souls waste away
and tears dry up
Indifferent to the falling stone
Anxious about a ripple
We make up pile of wasted words
And are losing sight
of the center
Reality is dimming
Life is lighter than air
War is collecting dust
Souls waste away
and tears dry up
Indifferent to the falling stone
Anxious about a ripple
We make up pile of wasted words
And are losing sight
of the center
Yellow Machinegun's song "Nightmare" speaks to a world where reality seems to be fading away, where life feels weightless, and where the brutalities of war are becoming distant memories. The lyrics suggest that people have become immune to the violence around them and are becoming lost in their own insignificance. The use of repetitive phrases like "Reality is dimming," "Life is lighter than air," and "Souls waste away" causes the listener to feel the overwhelming sense of hopelessness that the song is describing.
The repetition of the phrase "The nightmare is repeated" offers another hint at the meaning behind the lyrics. It suggests that the world is stuck in a cycle of violence and that there seems to be no hope for change. The song's final lines, "We betray our hopes," are a harsh reminder that people are ultimately responsible for their own downfall.
The overall message of "Nightmare" is a somber one – the world is constantly changing, but often those changes are not for the better. The song captures the feeling of hopelessness and despair that many people feel when they see the state of the world today.
