NIGHTMARE
Love's Nightmare: A Haunting Journey Through Denial and Acceptance
Lyrics
It’s been while
Expressing the passage of time
Since we got a long huh
Not having a meaningful connection for a while
In denial
Being unwilling to accept a harsh truth
That our love is poison
Acknowledging that the love shared is harmful
We decide
Making a joint decision
That this is just a nightmare
Referring to the relationship as a distressing dream
Just a nightmare
Emphasizing the nightmarish nature of the situation
You gon' notice me
Expecting recognition
But I don’t check receipts
Choosing not to scrutinize actions or behaviors
And I can’t wake up alone if you’re the one that I need
Feeling dependent on the presence of a specific person
So Ima just sleep it off
Opting to ignore problems temporarily
I’ll be alright
Expressing confidence in eventual well-being
Just keep a candle lit so it don’t too dark tonight
Using light to dispel emotional darkness
It’s been while
Reiterating the absence of connection over time
Since we got a long huh
Highlighting the lack of recent closeness
In denial
Rejecting a painful reality
That our love is poison
Affirming the toxicity of the romantic relationship
We decide
Making a joint decision (repeated)
That this is just a nightmare
Reiterating the relationship as a distressing dream
Just a nightmare
Emphasizing the nightmarish nature (repeated)
Nightmares are all I know
Describing familiarity with distressing dreams
Wish I could lucid dream it away
Expressing a desire to control dreams (lucid dreaming)
Wish it was all for show
Hoping that the situation is just a facade
I could pretend it's just for today
Wishing for a temporary illusion
It's a forever thing
Accepting a long-lasting struggle
Gave it a place in my heart to stay
Allocating a permanent place for the struggle
It's bound to death
Accepting the enduring nature of the challenge
I swear I'm okay with it
Expressing contentment with the situation
I live a place that takes my mind lets talk about
Living in a mental space of distraction
Spinning around a thousand times in a place so crowded
Describing a disorienting experience
And more the one way you remind me how big your mouth is
Commenting on verbal provocations
Waiting for the alarm when this long as nightmare ends I'll sound it
Anticipating relief when the nightmare concludes
It’s been while
Reiterating the absence of connection over time
Since we got a long huh
Highlighting the lack of recent closeness
In denial
Rejecting a painful reality
That our love is poison
Affirming the toxicity of the romantic relationship
We decide
Making a joint decision (repeated)
That this is just a nightmare
Reiterating the relationship as a distressing dream
Just a nightmare
Emphasizing the nightmarish nature (repeated)
