This haunting track delves into the aftermath of a toxic relationship. The singer portrays herself as a "nightmare," signifying the emotional pain and turmoil she's been through. She recalls her partner's false promises and their destructive habits, which ultimately led to their breakup. However, the constant repetition of "now I'm a nightmare" suggests that she has transformed her pain into strength, asserting her power over the person who hurt her. The repeated reference to 'California dreams' symbolizes an idealized vision of life that was shattered by reality. In essence, this song is about resilience and empowerment in the face of emotional trauma.
Nightmare
Lyrics
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Now I'm a nightmare
Your grand entry was all a blur to me
I never saw your face, just your energy
I think you buried me under hotel sheets
Then sent me to hell on a second-floor city street
I was having bad dreams, you ran away from me
Skeletons in your closet started breaking free
You said, "Don't worry, babe, this time around, I've changed
You were my baby, but now you're my nightmare
Now I'm a
Now I'm a nightmare
Now I'm a
Now I'm a nightmare
On the ceiling, I'm looking down on you
Getting high off them, but you don't want to
Am I on your mind? Don't you deny it
Good luck on the West Coast, I don't think you'll find it
Fuck your California dreams, get away from me
Said you hated the city, but I don't believe
Call me up someday when you're not high off your face
And I'll be your baby, but now I'm your nightmare
Now I'm a
Now I'm a nightmare
Now I'm a
Now I'm a nightmare
Now I'm a
Now I'm a nightmare
Now I'm a
Now I'm a nightmare
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
California dreams
Look what you did to me
Oh, I can never sleep
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
(Now I'm a nightmare)
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Fuck your California dreams, get away from me
Said you hated the city, but I don't believe
Call me up someday when you're not high off your face
And I'll be your baby, but now I'm your
Now I'm a
Now I'm a nightmare
Now I'm a
Now I'm a nightmare
Now I'm a
Now I'm a nightmare
Now I'm a
Now I'm a nightmare
California dreams
Look what you did to me
Oh, I can never sleep
(Now I'm a nightmare)
California dreams
Look what you did to me
Oh, I can never sleep
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
