NIGHTMARE
Nightmare's Embrace: Love's Enigma Unveiled
Lyrics
Three AM, I don't think I caught your name
Expressing uncertainty about knowing someone's name at 3 AM.
But the memory of your face
The facial memory of the person is lingering and affecting the speaker's sleep.
Is keeping me awake
The memory of the person is keeping the speaker awake.
You got something to hide
Suspecting the person has secrets or things to hide.
But baby I don't even mind
The speaker doesn't mind the potential secrets of the person.
'Cuz I can't get away from you even if I tried
Unable to escape thoughts about the person.
Are you a nightmare or a sweet dream?
Pondering if the person is a source of nightmares or a pleasant dream.
Should I be scared or will you set me free?
Questioning whether to be scared or hopeful about the person.
If you're a nightmare I should run and scream
If the person is a nightmare, considering running away in fear.
But even if you're a nightmare
Even if the person is a nightmare, they are still a dream to the speaker.
You're a dream to me
The person with a negative reputation has something appealing to the speaker.
You got a bad reputation
The speaker acknowledges their own bad reputation.
But I've got one of my own
Both reputations are topics of conversation.
And both of them precede
