Night Terrors
Nocturnal Struggle: Unveiling Inner Demons in Night Terrors
Lyrics
The night beckons me
The night is inviting or calling out to the speaker.
Distress within the sheets
The speaker is experiencing distress while in bed.
Oh, irony
An expression of a contrast between expectation and reality.
I come here for rest but I'm stricken of peace
Despite seeking rest, the speaker finds no peace.
In twilight, they're awakened
Entities or unsettling things become active in the twilight.
Their shrouds become undone
Figurative description of something mysterious being revealed.
Within my psyche, escaped
Disturbing elements escape within the speaker's mind.
With no sight of the sun
The absence of sunlight suggests a dark or troubled mental state.
So Father take my hands and block my eyes
The speaker pleads for guidance and protection.
For I'd rather they be burned in Hell than I
The speaker prefers physical suffering over emotional torment.
Revelations of myself that I despise
Revelations about the speaker that are self-loathed or hated.
Into deepened slumber, they arise
During deep sleep, troubling thoughts resurface.
Messages wished undelivered
Unwanted messages or thoughts the speaker wishes to avoid.
Thoughtless temper-fueled decisions
Poor decisions driven by uncontrolled emotions.
Deception by lust envisioned
Deception resulting from distorted desires.
Actions of selfish intention
Actions motivated by selfish motives.
Demons dwell within me
Inner demons or personal struggles residing within the speaker.
Dormant, yet they dictate
Although dormant, these inner demons influence the speaker.
In rest, their hopes come alive
During rest, the inner demons become active.
I toss and turn, unable to slumber
The speaker is restless, unable to find peaceful sleep.
My conscience and my desires asunder
Conflict between the speaker's conscience and desires.
The night beckons me
Repetition of the night calling the speaker.
Distress within the sheets
Reiteration of distress within the sheets.
Oh, irony
Repetition of the ironic situation of seeking rest but finding none.
I come here for rest but I'm stricken of peace
Repetition of the speaker's inability to find peace at night.
Oh, irony
Repetition of the ironic situation of seeking rest but finding none.
It's as if thoughts I've tried to hide
Unwanted thoughts are now surfacing involuntarily.
Are now depicted through subconscious
Thoughts hidden from consciousness are now appearing.
Stimulated visions of their darkness
Vivid visions of darkness influenced by subconscious thoughts.
I've lost all control
The speaker has lost control over their thoughts and actions.
What is the essence of guilt?
Questioning the nature and essence of guilt.
Who's plaything am I?
The speaker questions who or what is controlling them.
Set flame to all that I've built
Destroying everything the speaker has built, possibly due to guilt.
For it was only for I
Actions were only for the speaker's benefit or desires.
Only for I
Repetition emphasizing the self-centered nature of the speaker.
The night beckons me
Repetition of the night calling the speaker.
Distress within the sheets
Reiteration of distress within the sheets.
Oh, irony
Repetition of the ironic situation of seeking rest but finding none.
I come here for rest but I'm stricken of peace
Repetition of the speaker's inability to find peace at night.
These devils within me perturbing my sleep
The speaker acknowledges inner demons disrupting their sleep.
