Nightmare (feat. Undream)

Neoni's song 'Nightmare (feat. Undream)' delves into the unsettling experience of living with inner demons and the constant battle against one's fears and anxieties. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person grappling with their mental state, where their chest rises as they count their breaths, and their mind is filled with haunting melodies sung by their demons. The use of 'Do Re Mi' adds a chilling twist, turning a simple musical scale into a representation of the chaos within.

The recurring theme of making friends with the monsters under the bed symbolizes the attempt to come to terms with one's fears. This metaphorical friendship is a desperate hope that these fears won't ultimately lead to their downfall. The repeated prayer, 'Now I lay me down to sleep, hope someone’s watching over me,' reflects a yearning for protection and solace in the face of overwhelming darkness. The plea to 'pray the Lord my soul to keep' underscores a deep-seated fear of being consumed by these nightmares.

The imagery of skeletons in the closet coming alive and dancing with shadows in the mind further emphasizes the haunting nature of these internal struggles. The phrase 'RIP' suggests a desire to put these fears to rest, yet they continue to haunt the individual. The song's chorus, 'Living in a nightmare, is there anybody out there,' captures the isolation and desperation felt by someone trapped in their own mental turmoil. Neoni's powerful delivery, combined with Undream's haunting collaboration, creates an evocative portrayal of the relentless battle against inner demons and the search for a way out of the nightmare.
