About This Track

'Nightmare' by ALMA is a 2020 track in which the narrator trades blame and defensiveness, insisting they are being judged unfairly. The lyrics sketch a fraught situation with family suspicion, accusations of corrupting someone’s home life, and a messy romantic misalignment, summed up by the line, “Your mom thinks I gave your sister some molly”. The tone is combative and self-justifying, with a sense of being caught in someone else’s moral story while the relationship itself wobbles on jealousy and regret.

"Nightmare" is a track by ALMA, released 13th March 2020. The track is 2:32 long. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 2 articles about ALMA.

Lyrics

Nightmare

[Verse 1]

Your mom thinks I gave your sister some molly

She asked me if all I do is just party

She told me, "You're corrupting my family"

She's only half right

I kissed a girl and it wasn't you, baby

It's not my fault that I'm secondhand faded

What makes it worse is that we both were naked

And that's only a half night

[Pre-Chorus]

Then you forgave me for everything

And you toasted me for all of my sins

And you bit me at the end of a kiss

And I fell in love some more

[Chorus]

Woke up, it was just a dream

I know, I know (I know, I know)

Last thing that you said to me

Woah, oh

"You're a fucking nightmare"

"You're a fucking nightmare"

Woah, oh

"You're a fucking nightmare"

(Nightmare)

(You're a fucking)

[Verse 2]

I'm a freak, yeah, I admit it, admit it

I got a heart under all of these stitches

You're the only one I know who can fix it

Make me better, kiss it

[Pre-Chorus]

Can you forgive me for everything?

Can you toast me for all of my sins?

Can you bite me at the end of a kiss?

'Til I fall in love some more

[Chorus]

Woke up, it was just a dream

I know, I know (I know, I know)

Last thing that you said to me

Woah, oh

"You're a fucking nightmare"

"You're a fucking nightmare"

Woah, oh

"You're a fucking nightmare"

(Nightmare)

(You're a fucking nightmare)

[Bridge]

Oh (Nightmare)

(You're a fucking nightmare)

Oh (Nightmare)

[Chorus]

Woke up, it was just a dream

I know, I know (I know, I know)

Last thing that you said to me

Woah, oh

"You're a fucking nightmare"

"You're a fucking nightmare"

Woah, oh

"You're a fucking nightmare"

(Nightmare)

(You're a fucking nightmare)

(Nightmare)
