Hey there, Mr. Nightmare
Addressing someone as Mr. Nightmare, possibly in a troubled state.
Now you're lost
Indicates being lost or confused.
(Basics only)
Implies simplicity or foundational aspects.
The gutter and the martyr
Suggests a person who has fallen into a degraded state and one who sacrifices for a cause.
Have left you alone
Implies abandonment or isolation.
(Basics only)
Implies simplicity or foundational aspects.
The learned and the sparrow
Contrasts knowledge or educated individuals with a small and vulnerable bird.
Are all eaten by hawks
Suggests that even the educated or knowledgeable can fall victim to predators.
(Basics only)
Implies simplicity or foundational aspects.
Now you're in the nightmare
Reiterates being in a troubled or nightmarish situation, absolving oneself from blame.
It's not your fault
Asserts that the nightmare situation is not the fault of the person addressed.
(Basics only)
Implies simplicity or foundational aspects.
The wings of holy nightmare
Portrays the nightmare as having a sacred or divine aspect.
Come drifting in
Indicates the arrival or presence of this divine or terrifying aspect.
(Basics only)
Implies simplicity or foundational aspects.
Where is all your cold wind?
Questions the disappearance of something familiar or comfortable.
Where is what you knew?
Questions the absence of previous knowledge or understanding.
(Basics only)
Implies simplicity or foundational aspects.
Now the gutter martyr
Reiterates the degraded state of a person who sacrifices for a cause, now seemingly revitalized.
Now alive and well, yeah
Asserts the revival or well-being of the previously mentioned martyr.
Now the morning after
Portrays the aftermath of the troubling situation.
Is just you and yours
Suggests that only the person and their close connections remain after the situation.
