Nightmare Reality (Suno AI)

I wrote some songs and made our robot overlords sing them with art from Ideogram, enjoy.

I had rewatched the A Nightmare on Elm Street movie and it reminded me how the dreamlike strangeness of it speaks to me on such a deep level, especially being used to abnormalities in real life.

I wanted to capture the feeling of going to sleep like a descent into a mine, hence the “listen for the canary” as in canaries used to indicate a gas leak, danger. The “shadow” is Krueger or the nightmare following, while “ears ringing” is seen as an indicator of a ghost to superstitious people. “Entities make revision” is a reference to shapes in the peripheral vision that can appear to be human-like, startling people.

Lyrics:
In the shadows
The colors look the same
Careful wandering
Those surreal dreams
The shadow
always following

Don’t sleep alone
Who will wake you
When the nightmares
come

Drifting
away
Drifting
away
hallways
Lengthening on
Colors crawling
Off of the wall
Night is coming
Into the dreamscape
Into the dreamscape

Stay awake
Stay away

Don’t fall asleep
With ears ringing
Shadows watching
At the end of the hallway
At the edge of vision
entities make revision
to reality

While making your way
Remember something
Listen
For the canary

Drifting
away
Drifting
away
hallways
Lengthening on
Colors crawling
Off of the wall
Night is coming
Into the dreamscape
Into the dreamscape

Stay awake
Stay away
Stay Awake
Stay Awake

in the shadows
The colors look the same
Careful wandering
Those surreal dreams
The shadow
always following

Don’t sleep alone
Who will wake you
When the nightmares
come

Stay awake
Stay away
Listen
For the canary
Stay awake
