I think he's talking about himself here, not a nightmare.
"Theres a place that ive found as far as i can see
this place lies within the depths of my dreams "
when you dream, you're dreams tell you things you only know in your subconscious mind, trying to bring it to your attention.
"I walk with shadows! you've got to find a better way"
maybe meaning he has to find a better way of figuring himself out, rather than sleeping?
and "destroy the guillotine before he does"
ack.
I had such a good explination for what he's talking about
but then my dumb ass forgot it.
the man with an axe could possibly be himself, and maybe he fears finding who he really is
I'm probably way off, but personally, I like to believe songs have a deeper meaning than just whats on the surface.
I have a tendency of looking into things too much
but this song is pretty tight.
