Lyrics
Every time I close my eyes
Reflecting on experiences during sleep.
I make some sort of sacrifice
Expressing a willingness to make sacrifices.
I cheat, deceive, kill all I see
Describing intense dream actions: cheating, deceiving, killing.
Oh, I'm so glad it's not real life
Relief that dream actions are not real.
Oh, three minutes feels like a fortnight
Subjective experience of time distortion in dreams.
Running from gorillas in the moonlight
Immersive dream scenario involving gorillas.
Kissing lots of people that I don't like, oh
Unpleasant experiences, including insincere intimacy.
Men in black are hiding in my bedroom
Fearful elements, with a reference to the movie "Men in Black."
I'm covered in blood, I'm in a bad mood
Symbolic reference to a disturbing situation.
Shit just got real
Acknowledgment that the dream has become intense.
I wake up, wake up in my room
Transition from dream to waking state.
I'm spread out, butt naked, laying next to you
Description of vulnerability, intimacy, and proximity to another person.
This stuff gets rough, gets tough when I'm asleep
Recognition of the challenges in dreams.
But remember, it's just a bad dream
Reminder that it's just a dream, despite difficulties.
I fall down the rabbit hole
Entering a challenging or confusing situation metaphorically.
My teeth are broken, hair's all gone
Physical and emotional damage in the dream.
My boyfriend's with another girl
Betrayal in the dream scenario.
So I cut their tongues out so they can't be heard
Extreme response to silence those causing harm.
Oh, three minutes feels like a fortnight
Repetition of the time distortion theme.
Running from gorillas in the moonlight
Continuation of intense dream scenarios.
Kissing lots of people that I don't like, oh
Reiteration of uncomfortable intimate encounters.
Then I wake up, wake up in my room
Repeating the waking process from a dream.
I'm spread out, butt naked, laying next to you
Reappearance of vulnerability and proximity.
This stuff gets rough, gets tough when I'm asleep
Reiteration of challenges during sleep.
But remember, it's just a bad dream
Reminder that it's just a bad dream, despite difficulties.
I wake up, I wake up from a bad dream
Emphasis on waking up from a challenging dream.
And I'm not tied up in somebody's basement
Avoidance of a dire situation in the dream.
I wake up, I wake up from a bad dream
Reiteration of waking up from a challenging dream.
And my boy's laying next to me
Reassurance of the presence of a significant other upon waking.
Oh, men in black are hiding in my bedroom
Recurrence of the "Men in Black" reference and distressing dream elements.
I'm covered in blood, I'm in a bad mood
Reiteration of a distressing and violent dream scenario.
Shit just got real
Confirmation of the dream's intensity.
Then I wake up, wake up in my room
Repeating the process of waking up from a dream.
I'm spread out, butt naked, laying next to you
Reappearance of vulnerability and proximity in waking state.
This stuff gets rough, gets tough when I'm asleep
Reiteration of challenges during sleep.
But remember, it's just a bad dream
Reminder that it's just a bad dream, despite difficulties.
Then I wake up, wake up in my room
Repeating the waking process from a challenging dream.
I'm spread out, butt naked, laying next to you
Reappearance of vulnerability and proximity upon waking.
This stuff gets rough, gets tough when I'm asleep
Reiteration of challenges during sleep.
But remember, it's just a bad dream
Final reminder that it's just a bad dream, despite difficulties.
