Say Never Look Back
Dream's Dark Dance: Unraveling the Night's Secrets with Children Of Bodom
Lyrics
Struggling… to stay awake
Struggling to remain alert and conscious.
Don’t wanna take my chances (wake up!)
Reluctant to take risks or chances, urged to wake up.
Tossing… and turning
Restless and unable to find a comfortable sleeping position.
How am I supposed to block these voices
Feeling overwhelmed by intrusive thoughts or voices.
Drifting… off to sleep
Slowly slipping into sleep.
Count sheep, you’re now in deep
Encouragement to fall deeper into sleep by counting sheep.
Whimper... though you wanna shout
Wanting to express distress but being unable to.
No use he’s in, you’re out
Realizing the futility as someone else has control.
One two three you’re now in a dream
Entering a dream state.
Never look back, never look cos you’re gonna crack
Advising not to dwell on the past, as it might lead to mental breakdown.
Five six seven see the flood lights beam
Noticing bright lights in the dream.
Down on you as you wanna scream
Feeling overwhelmed and wanting to express distress.
Eight nine ten here we go again
Repeating the cycle of being in a dream state.
You can lie down, you can lie
Advising the option to give in to the dream or lie down but with negative consequences.
But you’re gonna drown
Implying that resisting the dream might result in feeling overwhelmed.
End of the games, your number is up… for now.
Indicating an end to the dream, at least temporarily.
Wake up! Who said that?
A sudden awakening and confusion about the state of consciousness.
Am I awake? My eyes are shut
Questioning whether awake despite closed eyes.
Weary... once again
Feeling tired and fatigued once more.
But was I out?
Uncertainty about the state of consciousness.
What the hell was that all about
Confusion and frustration about recent experiences.
Where did
Questioning the origin of emotional or psychological pain.
All these scars come from
Physical evidence of recent emotional turmoil.
Still warm… blood on the sheets
Not sure if the experiences were real or part of a dream.
But was all real?
Wishing to detach from emotions and sensations.
I just don’t wanna feel…
Avoiding or rejecting emotions.
One two three you’re now in a dream
Re-entering the dream state.
Never look back, never look cos you’re gonna crack
Reiterating the warning not to dwell on the past.
Five six seven see the flood lights beam
Noticing bright lights again in the dream.
Down on you as you wanna scream
Feeling overwhelmed and distressed in the dream.
Eight nine ten here we go again
Repeating the cycle of entering the dream state.
You can lie down, you can lie
Highlighting the option to succumb to the dream but with negative consequences.
But you’re gonna drown
Implying that resisting the dream might result in feeling overwhelmed.
End of the games, your number is up… for now
Indicating an end to the dream, possibly temporarily.
