NIGHTMARES
Emotional Struggle Unveiled: Alice Glass' NIGHTMARES
Lyrics
Be quiet
Expressing a desire for silence or secrecy
We're told
Receiving instructions or guidance
We'll save you
Assurance of protection or rescue
But don't look me in the eye
A warning against making direct eye contact
If this was ever a part of me
Contemplating a potential undesirable aspect of oneself
Then I'll rip it out
Expressing a determination to eliminate that undesirable aspect
You're not a part of me
Denying a connection to the undesirable aspect
'Cause I don't want it
Rejecting the undesirable aspect
Stay calm
Advising to remain calm
Respond to me
Requesting a response or reaction
You're mine
Claiming possession or control
But don't look me in the eye
Reiterating the warning against direct eye contact
Take it away from me
Expressing a willingness to relinquish something
Take whatever you want
Granting permission to take whatever is desired
Rip it away from me
Expressing a desire for the removal of something
Cause I don't want it
Rejecting the unwanted thing
If this was ever a part of me
Reflecting on the undesirable aspect as part of oneself
Then I'll rip it out
Reiterating the determination to remove the undesirable aspect
You're not a part of me
Affirming the lack of connection to the undesirable aspect
Cause I don't want it
Reiterating the rejection of the undesirable aspect
She's just feeling empathy
Describing a character experiencing empathy
It's not something you need to see
Stating that empathy is not something that needs to be witnessed
What's this underneath me
Possibly questioning something beneath the character
Tell me those lies again
Requesting the repetition of lies
Can't believe I trusted in you
Expressing disbelief in previous trust
We can take out their teeth
Suggesting the possibility of causing harm to someone
They will never smile again
Ensuring that the target will not experience happiness again
Take it away from me
Repeating the willingness to relinquish something
Take whatever you want
Reiterating permission to take whatever is desired
Rip it away from me
Repeating the desire for the removal of something
'Cause I don't want it
Reaffirming the rejection of the unwanted thing
If this was ever a part of me
Reflecting on the undesirable aspect as part of oneself (repeated)
Then I'll rip it out
Reiterating the determination to remove the undesirable aspect (repeated)
You're not a part of me
Reaffirming the lack of connection to the undesirable aspect (repeated)
'Cause I don't want it
Reiterating the rejection of the undesirable aspect (repeated)
Nightmare nightmares
Repeating the word "Nightmares"
All I dream is nightmares
Expressing that all dreams consist of nightmares
Are you trying to make me feel this way?
Possibly questioning the intent behind making the character feel a certain way
