Concept, lyrics, vocal, guitar and percussion by Adam Tobit
Composition, Production and Cover art by SABOFX
Background info:
I produced this original track in collaboration with my talented neighbor and good friend Adam Tobit.
Adam came up with the concept for this song years ago. He intended 'Nightmare' as the theme song for a tv series based around the 'Nightmare on Elm Street' horror movies. But unfortunately the series never came to be.
Adam's own previous (solo) version of the song can still be heard on youtube: https://youtu.be/6cLZNpIlHYc
I'm curious to see how well this song does with my audience, since it is quite a different genre from my other productions. However it does fit my requirements (proper melody, sounds urgent and serious).
Lyrics:
Lights go out, left out in the dark
Hear the sound of my pounding heart
See the visions in my head
Hiding underneath my bed
Corner of the closet
Behind my bedroom door
What’s that sound creaking
coming from the hallway floor
You’ve seen it once, I’ve seen it twice
The look of fear that’s in her eyes
Take my hand and don’t let go
Till the dawn of tomorrow
Too much to take
I find it hard to escape
Need to find a way out
Before I leave it too late
Wake me up, pinch me if I am dreaming
Reality is deceiving
Nobody heard you screaming
Nooooooo
Someone is walking behind you
Can’t run, cause they’re going to find you
Don’t think that I will pull through
So just wake me up
Now I know I’m too far gone
Everything is going wrong
I see his eyes are glowing red
Am I alive or am I dead?
Too much to take
I find it hard to escape
Need to find a way out
Before I leave it too late
Wake me up, pinch me if I am dreaming
Reality is deceiving
Nobody heard you screaming
Nooooooo
Someone is walking behind you
Can’t run, cause they’re going to find you
Don’t think that I will pull through
So just wake me up
Wake me up, pinch me if I am dreaming
Reality is deceiving
Nobody hears you screaming
Nooooooo
Someone is walking behind you
Can’t run, cause they’re going to find you
Don’t think that I will pull through
So just wake me up
just wake me up
