about
A story about an inventor, battling people's nightmares with bullets and steampunk machinery. It was supposed to be a small experiment that we wanted to make while on lockdown, but the video slowly outgrew the scope of the initial project. So it is a small song with great ambitions. Music is still dark and with a heart of metal, but with electricity in its veins and with a gun, loaded with old drum samples.
lyrics
Lightning outside my window
Shines on her face
Nightmares are my specialty
She is my latest case
Every time she goes to sleep
She dreams of death and pain
I will help you, don’t you weep
I'll cure your damaged brain
You will have to sign here
Safety first
You OK with brain drilling?
Safety first
She is sleeping terrified,
Screaming in her bed
I will steal her bad dreams through
Wires in her head
Silver bullet loaded gun will
Sing them lullaby
Pull the trigger and it's done -
That's how nightmares die!
Pockets filled with spare bullets
Safety first
Sleeping pills are non allergic
Safety first
Our heads are connected
Our dreams are intertwined
I'm ready, I welcome
The horrors of her mind
The moment of transfer
I'm doing as rehearsed
A shame I forgot to
Switch off the safety first
Lightning outside my window
Outshouts my screams
I have suffered all these years
Hosting her bad dreams
Every time I go to sleep
I dream of death and pain
Silver bullets that I keep
Will cure my damaged brain
Check if no one is around
Safety first
Point the gun and pull a trigger
Safety first

This might be the band that displaces Metallica as my favorite heavy metal band! It's heavy and has social commentary, which are my two favorite things in music. flannel_bear
