Awful Dream
Midnight Shadows: Unraveling the Mysteries of an Awful Dream
Lyrics
Four in the morning
Waking up at four in the morning.
I woke with a start
Waking abruptly and with a jolt.
I woke with a pounding deep deep down in my heart
Experiencing a strong, intense feeling of distress or anxiety in the heart.
And it's all over now,
Whatever the situation, it's concluded or finished.
But I had such an awful dream
Despite it being over, there was a profoundly disturbing dream.
I don't know what it tells me
Uncertainty about the message conveyed by the dream.
I don't know what it means
Confusion about the meaning of the dream.
I don't know where it comes from
Uncertainty about the origin of the dream.
I don't know where it leads
Uncertainty about the direction or implications of the dream.
And it's all over now
Reiteration that the event or situation is concluded.
But I had such an awful dream
Despite its conclusion, the dream was profoundly distressing.
Maybe it was something somebody said
Suggesting a possible trigger from something said by someone.
Maybe it was nothing, the wrong side of the bed
Consideration that the cause could be something insignificant, like waking up on the wrong side of the bed.
But all I know is that it scares me
Admitting that the dream is frightening despite not being real.
Even though it's not real
Despite being a dream, it still evokes fear.
And I had an awful dream
Reiterating the distress caused by the dream.
And it's strange what you see
Reflecting on the unusual things seen during the night.
In the middle of the night
Noting the bizarre visions during the night time.
When your eyes aren't even open
Pointing out the visions even when eyes are closed and there's no light.
And there isn't any light
Emphasizing the lack of external stimuli during these visions.
And it's all over now
Reiterating that the experience is concluded.
But I had such an awful dream
Despite its conclusion, the dream was profoundly distressing.
Now I know what you're thinking
Acknowledging an assumption about what others might be thinking or wanting to know.
You wanna know what went down
Expressing the desire to know the details of the dream.
You wanna know if you were in it
Speculating whether someone else was involved in the dream.
Don't let me go, you weren't around
Feeling a lack of presence or support from someone during the distressing dream.
Oh, and it's all over now
Reiterating the conclusion of the experience.
But I had such an aw-aw-awful dream
Despite its conclusion, the dream was profoundly distressing.
Have you ever had the feeling
Asking about a persistent, unsettling feeling.
Something you can't shake
Describing an unshakable sensation.
It doesn't matter if you're sleeping
Emphasizing that the sensation doesn't differentiate between sleep or wakefulness.
Or if you're awake
Implying a disruption of the expected or normal state.
And nothing's as it should be
Suggesting that things seem not right or out of order.
At least that's how it seems
Implying that everyone experiences unsettling dreams at times.
We all have our awful dreams
Reiterating the commonality of distressing dreams.
Awful dreams
Re-emphasizing the existence of distressing dreams.
