At night - asleep
Nightmares - not dreams
Drag me through the dirt
There is no place to run - nor hide
He's in my blood
I try to keep him out
He rules the pain
He makes up the ugly thoughts
The rotten words
He distracts my nerves
His claws
His poisoned laughter twists the knife
His long sharp teeth
Motionless silence
Sullen muttering
He holds the blame
He's in my veins
He holds the blame
I try to keep him out
He rules the pain inside
He makes up the ugly thoughts
The rotten words
He distracts my nerves
I've never seen his face
But I have felt his breath so many times
Soaked in sweat
Sleepingpills and cigarettes
But when the day
chases the night away…
Nightmares - not dreams
Drag me through the dirt
There is no place to run - nor hide
I try to keep him out
He rules the pain
He makes up the ugly thoughts
The rotten words
He distracts my nerves
His poisoned laughter twists the knife
His long sharp teeth
Motionless silence
Sullen muttering
He's in my veins
I try to keep him out
He rules the pain inside
He makes up the ugly thoughts
The rotten words
He distracts my nerves
But I have felt his breath so many times
Soaked in sweat
Sleepingpills and cigarettes
But when the day
chases the night away…

I was listening to this song and suddenly I had an idea - maybe the song is about the shadow aspect of the unconscious (according to Jungian psychology). The shadow doesn't manifest unless the concious self is weakened. If so, then it tries to take control and "make up the ugly thoughts" . It can also manifest in dreams, if a person's shadow is very dark then maybe it could produce nightmares too.
I think this song is about insanity. Like a bipolar/schizophrenia thing, kinda like MetallicA's Sad But True. Either way, this song is beautiful.
I'd agree with you on that... Could be about addiction also...
i agree..it's probably about insanity or addiction..can maybe be about a demon possesion..anyways,such a beautiful song
