Lyrics Born - Bad Dreams



This is a great hip hop song-- even if you don't listen to the lyrics. But the title itself reminds me that this world can seem like a big, bad dream that just won't end. The chorus is what really sticks out to me:

This situation has gotten out of control
With all this stress and confrontation I just might overload
My problems follow me to sleep at night won’t let me go
The more I hide the more they thrive deep down inside of my soul


I translate this as saying: Things are pretty messed up, and I can't take it anymore. There's this thing that's been haunting me and I try to bury it and deny it, but it gets worse when I don't face it.
