Insane Clown Posse - Shimmer Lyrics






Dear God, I don't know if you're really real?
Because mom and stepdad say that you're total hogwash
But if you're real, and I believe you are, I could really use your help
Every night something awful comes to my closet, it's a woman, but she's dead
I don't know why she's here. I don't know what she wants
Most of all, I don't know how to make her go away and I'm really really scared
I get the feeling that she wants me dead

Shimmer's not in heaven, Shimmer's not in hell
Shimmer's in the Echoside as far as I can tell
I feel her presents when I'm standing at the mirror in the dark
I hear her voice within the room, vibrating my heart
It terrifies me, in my class
I feel I'm free, but too quickly it pass before
I'm headed back, to our sickly house on Cass Shimmer hates laughter, and juveniles
Throughout my day, I heard her say, "I'll make you pay for every smile"
She was a bad girl who liked to cause agony
I guarantee, and now she wants to terrify and burry me
I'm used to sodomy, my dad's a demon and mommas drunk and good for nothin' but somethin' to stuff his semen in
Red light illuminates my closet when Shimmer comes with a wretched stench and underneath the door, blood runs
I stay in bed under the covers, but fear forces me to see the closet door open, and Shimmer pointing at me

Eyes black, she bloody, and she likes that
A Child dead in her arms she takes a bite of his neck
And then chews it, pointing at me, blood dripping right down her chin
Cocks her head, then she does it again
Eyes black, she bloody, and she likes that
A Child dead in her arms she takes a bite of his neck
And then chews it, pointing at me, blood dripping right down her chin
Cocks her head, then she does it again

In school they laugh, I've lost so much hair
But I don't care, our souls are just orbs in the air
I hate our house, but have nowhere to go to
And when we moved in, momma said "this is so cool"
I have no brothers or sisters, no fucking pets
And my anxiety grows the darker it gets
Why's the sun always leave me? Shimmers a guarantee
Scaring me into insanity and no one's hearing me!
I did tell my favorite teacher Mr. Bowdock
I Said, "There's a wicked ghost hounding me around the clock"
He said, "Pray little man, God's bliss is always there"
Yet when Shimmer shows up, that bliss disappears
My step dad just smacks me, sends me to my room
Something happened in that closet, some untold doom!
Because it reeks of death in there, 'opens a crack
And then it illuminates, and bloody Shimmer's back again

Eyes black, she bloody, and she likes that
A Child dead in her arms she takes a bite of his neck
And then chews it, pointing at me, blood dripping right down her chin
Cocks her head, then she does it again
Eyes black, she bloody, and she likes that
A Child dead in her arms she takes a bite of his neck
And then chews it, pointing at me, blood dripping right down her chin
Cocks her head, then she does it again

I left a bible in the closet, but found it bloody
I just want the world to know I need some help some body
When she comes, the temperature drops
I see my breath in the air my clock light dies out
And the room smells of death
I get the sense she's angrier, every time she's here
Despite how many times, I'm left, paralyzed in fear
Always holding a child, about my age
Pointing at me. Why all the frustration and rage?
What if, she's just an energy, pretend to me?
But I believe she's real and wants the end of me
Fuck it. I'll do it. She'll never stop 'till it's correct
I walk right into in her arms, let her have my neck
That night Shimmer came, I was engulfed in fear, but death don't sound so bad
I've had enough it's clear I'd rather die, then be her toy to terrify
No more nights of being pegged by her stairin' eyes!

Eyes black, she bloody, and she likes that
A Child dead in her arms she takes a bite of his neck
And then chews it, pointing at me, blood dripping right down her chin
Cocks her head, then she does it again
Eyes black, she bloody, and she likes that
A Child dead in her arms she takes a bite of his neck
And then chews it, pointing at me, blood dripping right down her chin
Cocks her head, then she does it again

Her touch stunnded me, like sleep paralysis I couldn't move
But saw all the hell of this Her mouth up close, it was a black pit
Her teeth sunk in well and I felt the rip Total darkness, then I felt no pain
But I almost went deaf, when she screamed my name!
Still paralyzed, I opened my eyes and found myself, alive in my closet, sound of health
The fear poured out of my body, released it's clutch
The first thing I felt, was leather's touch
In my hands, the bible, the one I left in there
It was no longer bloody and all the pages were clear
Her wretched smell gone, the air was warm
And for the first time in years, I felt a calm
From that night forward, shimmer was aborted
I can't help but feel my bravery was rewarded

  3. J.... 0....

    THEORY: Shimmer and the girl from "In My Room" are the same woman??????????
    .MCL.

  4. R.... J....

    This beat would've been perfect for a DARK LOTUS track.

  5. S.... W....

    This beat is so well mixed to be so sad. Almost cried. Perfection.

  6. S.... ....

    Every night, something awful comes from my closet... *ques Onision*

  7. J.... R....

    shimmer is the only good song on this album what a shame

  8. N.... E....

    Pure Domination

  9. A.... T....

    Vera lee is shimmers sister and while I'm alone in my room this cemetery girl is like a witch trapped in this song.

  10. K.... D....

    That into with him talking about Shimmer gives me goosebumps every time.....I love it

  11. l.... w....

    This my favorite song

  12. R.... J....

    I ain't going to lie. That beat would've been perfect for DARK LOTUS!!. but still a fresh track.

  13. C.... W....

    Never have i mentioned this until now.......I Had a Ghost in my house..we believed her name was "Sarah". Who revealed herself from my bedroom closet. I'm serious. she was in a blue dress,and no eyes,blonde hair and looked....weird.

  14. f.... f....

    sorry guys my ex is in your closet lol

    f.... f....

    We must of been haunted by the same bitch lol

  15. M.... C....

    They should've had Blahzay Roze on this song. It's like In My Room and Blahzay songs Bulimic Becky/Tommy combined together

  16. J.... N....

    I get the feeling She wants me dead!

  17. J.... 1....

    Our souls are just orbs in the air. We are in charge. Stand up, be known. Shimmer won’t have me.

  18. N.... M....

    Preparing Shimmer stories to spook out all of Shimmer Forest ?

  19. L.... L....

    I really like how perfect J and Shags can tell a story. Thats the one thing about ICP that i really love, its fucking sick as hell. Not only can they put themselves into a wide variety of characters and situations, but they do it in a wicked ass beat.
    Most music these days all have the same message, blah blah blah, you get alotta bitches, you drive a nice car, or youre sad. Like, its all the same. If you look at our Juggalo family, youll realize theres so many different people, dads, moms, rich, poor, 90 year olds and young punk ass kids like me. All races, all genders, all ages, and all family. We all love the vibes Psychopathic Records gives, we can relate to it one way or another.
    People poke fun cuz they cant fuckin handle the freshness weve got.
    Fucking love yall, FFF and Flips message has really fuckin given me a boost and it makes me feel better in a lotta situations, as quite a few previous ICP albums have believe it or not. FFF was such a ride lol.
    MMFWCL, whoop x2!!! 🤡💞

  20. D.... M....

    This songs dope

  21. A.... L....

    Shimmer! Sheem! Sheem!

  22. K.... F....

    I was very skeptical when this album was announced but I like damn near every track on it especially shimmer and triplex! Finally another one of their albums resonates with me deep!

  23. m.... ....

    This song makes the album! Most of this album is awful! This is the old ICP I like, with an actual good chorus! Not just FIGHT BACK and WTFFFFF!!!!! and stupid things that's been said/done before. This song is one of my all time favorites.

    m.... ....

    This song is ok but I'd prefer to listen to seriously hilarious but other than that this album FFF is dope

  24. M.... Y....

    Best song on the album easily!

  25. 7.... 5....

    665th like! Whoop whoop love to all the juggalos @ the galaxies and beyond!

  26. N.... W....

    One of my favorite songs on this album. They should do a video for this using Blahzay Roze as Shimmer

  27. D.... C....

    I love how the beat mixes down at the end, to just a subtle kick drum & a kinda tap for the snare. Great mixing

  28. J.... M....

    Deff sounds like Vera Lee with some kmk course lol

  29. M.... H....

    Dope ass story

  30. S.... D....

    People telling their own children God isn't real, listen to the end of this song, and y'all will see why I trust the carnival.. I can't ever tell my daughter dat God is a fraud, the Lord has done allot for me personally, you don't believe, well maybe soon you will.. God bless everything!! :)

    S.... D....

    Amen ✝

  31. M.... C....

    Wow song gives me goose bumps. Whoop whoop MWCL

  32. c.... a....

    Is everybody ignoring the fact that 665 means there is going to be a 3rd deck?

    c.... a....

    No seeing as violent j has already said this

    c.... a....

    @pistolgripz obviously, troll

    c.... a....

    @chad abernathey then why'd you ask?

    c.... a....

    Man, I gotta slow walk you thru this?

    c.... a....

    @chad abernathey jee you might have to!

  33. C.... D....

    I swear every one of these tracks has the same amount of views cuz people be listening to the whole album... that's dope reminds me of when they're albums were like an event.

    C.... D....

    Their albums are events yo. Every jokers card is like a holiday to me in my life bro.

    C.... D....

    10 LIKE!

  34. j.... s....

    like that fff is just them and not filled with other artist like how flip is not that flip is bad i just hate hearing one song with 10 artists in it unless its a group thing

  35. K.... K....

    Whoop whoop 🖕

  36. J.... Y....

    Straight up WICKED SHIT WHOOP WHOOP

  37. c.... ....

    This song... it makes me think of the eyes I saw. They adorned the walls, the floor, the ceiling. Judging me. Sometimes they glowed, sometimes they were just bloodshot. Only prayer sent them away. Anxiety and regret...

  38. T.... P....

    Wicked awesome!!!!!

  39. S.... M....

    Let's take a moment to acknowledge that this ICP's whole purpose encapsulated, and thank them. Thank you, our wicked clowns. You did good.

  40. J.... B....

    Second favorite song because its dark. As fuck

  41. R.... T....

    JUGGALO 4 LIFE

  42. j.... ....

    Dude this is fucking great. Good tune and that beat is 🔥

  43. A.... D....

    It is said spirits linger in the physical world. They're undead and dead. Succubus women, incubus men, ghosts, vampires, all kinds of creatures. This is a story about a ghost named Shimmer. I could swear I've met her before. If she's the same one...then... She's lost, demented, and her true love ended up being a false love, leaving her to cause havoc on those who moved into their old house. Heartbroken and evil don't mix well. Opinions, anyone? I've got my minds eyes wide open. I see them all.

  44. B.... N....

    The Hillary Clinton song

    B.... N....

    🤣🤣🤣

    B.... N....

    I'm a Canadian but that was perfect 😂 mcl

  45. D.... C....

    I wanna see a video to this!!!!

  46. D.... C....

    Wow holy fuck!!! After hearing nobody's fault, I thought that was my favorite on this albulm but 2 tracks later, this is wig blowing!!!

  47. D.... K....

    This is CD is badass waiting on flip the rat to come in the mail

  48. R.... O....

    Wicked Shit no doubt

  49. E.... G....

    All the haters gtfo. This shit is flamez

  50. J.... B....

    Dark music Insane Clown Posse

  51. z.... ....

    Its like a part 2 to "In my Room"

  52. N.... T....

    The intro sounds like it was this series "Haunted" i saw on Netflix. This bloody woman who hung herself in the boys closet and killed her kids. Supposed to be real stories. Im certain this is where they got the idea. Ep "woman in white"

    N.... T....

    A dude a few comments above said the same... now I'm checking the show out for sure!!

  53. G.... S....

    SHIMMER RULES , ICP delivers THE GOODS !!!

  54. J.... K....

    Can't wait to see Tom Woods art for Shimmer! You know she's GOT to be added to Into The Echo Side!

  55. K.... B....

    Through my childhood and my adult life there is one thing that never changes. ICP is fucking fire! 🔥🔥

  56. J.... S....

    I been an icp fan for twenty plus years, a juggalo if you will. Since the beginning of it all, since basement cuts and carnival of carnage days and I'm from southwest Detroit. I WAS drinking faygo outside Scottys party store, I did live off of Vernor and junction. I always felt like I was a part of the magic of it all. I suported and rocked with it from the beginning but it kill S me to say it maybe I'm a different person now or maybe I just grew up but them days are over for me. I can't even get threw this album. It's all been done before and over and over. I'm proud of y'all and god bless the juggalo but y'all don't need me anymore.

  57. z.... ....

    W w wickeddd

  58. c.... l....

    Sounds like hells pit

  59. N.... ....

    Haters: this album sucks
    Me: Do you even ICP?

    N.... ....

    Straight up bro ppl sayin this isnt icp obviously hasnt been down cuz this is classic icp

    N.... ....

    @Kayleam Ramsey that's what I'm saying. This album is pretty much a blender of all the flavors that it "ICP" so if you're down or just a fan , then most of this album should be fresh for you(including flip).

    N.... ....

    @Nayblyss no doubt bro

    N.... ....

    saddly beacause of this my parents have lost their juggalo card

  60. p.... b....

    #sleeperhit

    p.... b....

  62. D.... T....

    Why do motha fucks gotta drive like lil bitches around me? FUCK OFF BITCH

  63. m.... r....

    Love this track because I relate to it because I believe there’s something in the after life and it’s hard for me at times to keep hope and faith I also believe in supernatural shit feel like the odds are stacked against me

    m.... r....

    Stay strong and take no shit...you are always going to lose but dont lose not swinging...If after life is out there. Go in head held high with no regret

  64. R.... B....

    When Shimmer shows up that Bliss DISAPPEARS.

  65. P.... B....

    Best song on the album!

  66. i.... 7....

    Definitely get why the guy on Roxxxtv said it gave him the shimmers. This is a cool track.

  67. J.... F....

  72. K.... Z....

    What a song..

  73. E.... M....

    Wasn't this already a song on hell's pit?

    E.... M....

    Well, the ghost girl on "In My Room" from Hells Pit he was in love with. In the end she convinces him to murder a family and then she leaves him, disappears forever. This one the Ghost girl is tormenting him.

    E.... M....

    There are millions of dead people in the world. Each ghost has their own story. Two different girls.

  74. S.... ....

    IN MY ROOM PART 2?!

    S.... ....

    Not really, haunting songs are just an icp thing. From in my room to vera Lee, all the way back to Amy's in the attic

    S.... ....

    YESS!!!!

    S.... ....

    It’s not an in my room part 2. In In My Room the girl loves him but in Shimmer the girl hates him so it’s not a part 2

    S.... ....

    Kind of more detailed!

  75. M.... B....

    Dear God, I don't Kno if you're really real, because dad and my stepmom say your total hogwash. But if you're real which I believe you are I could really need your help. Every night something awful comes to my closet. Shes a women but she's dead. IDK why she's here, IDK what she wants and most of all I don't know how to make her go away. I'm really really scared. I get the feeling that she wants ME dead!

    M.... B....

    It's our psyche coming to fruition.

    M.... B....

    I got fucking chills

    M.... B....

  81. d.... ....

    Fucking amazing

  82. C.... S....

    Definitely my favorite song on the album, I love Fearless Fred Fury but this and Nobody's Fault are the stand out songs for me. Ii get a chill on my spine in the opening minute, just so good. WHOOP WHOOP!

    C.... S....

    @Raulioli Pumpkine Ouija macc! Whoop whoop mcl

    C.... S....

    I agree, though west Verner ave. Is also top , as well as fury... THE CLOWNS ARE BACK!!!

    C.... S....

    @Donovan Carriker West Verner Ave. is actually the second weakest song for me tbh, right before Game Over

    C.... S....

    It’s my favorite song in this album too

  83. J.... J....

    My personal favorite. There is a show on Netflix called Haunted. The episode is called "The woman in white" It reminds me alot of this story.

    J.... J....

    The lyrics legit made me think that as well. That was a good episode!

    J.... J....

    Thanks Homie , I've been looking for a new show to check out 😂🤣

  84. T.... H....

    This is like a newer version of vara lee

    T.... H....

    It's almost the new "Prom queen"

    T.... H....

    My first thought was Vera Lee mixed with In My Room

    T.... H....

    In my room 2

    T.... H....

    We can all AGREE that it's dope as fuck!! WHOOP WHOOP

    T.... H....

    Both fucking awesome songs!

  85. R.... T....

    Can't get this song out of my head

  86. 2.... M....

    This album is beautiful.

  87. D.... L....

    The only song on the album I like. The rest is shit. Except for the last track. I’ve waited five years for this album. And it’s crap

    D.... L....

    Eat a herpes infested cock, bitch

    D.... L....

    Fuck the fuck off. Don't be there when the next card comes then. Who am I kidding? Your bitch ass will be there cryin.

    D.... L....

    🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕

    D.... L....

    Your not a juggalo it's all good bro you don't have to like it

    D.... L....

    Dan Leaver you are no icp fan then. You are shit

  88. Y.... w....

    Is Shimmer the new name for Blahzay Roze? hahaha
    Wish she'd hurry up and come back. We all know she's going to eventually and it'll be with Psychopathic.

    Y.... w....

    She's done....

    Y.... w....

    If anything magic ninja just as a "fuck you" to J

    Y.... w....

    Fuck that big mouth bitch. She wasn't a juggalo. All shit did was talk shit to everyone that tried to accept her nasty ass

  89. G.... F....

    I love this part

  90. R.... T....

    Dope ass song

  91. J.... M....

    This is perfection

  92. D.... B....

    I fuck heavy with this track. Good shit J

  93. D.... S....

    This whole entire album is beyond creative. I am happy with it. Fuck all you who Hate on it. Not one of the Jokers Cards are supposed to sound alike at all. Fuck off and listen to an old Jokers Cards and give it praise. Insane Clown Posse are going their own way. With or without you. And bringing along the rest of us who will always support them and keep the Dark Carnival alive. Y'all tend to forget that there are more entities to come. And even after

    D.... S....

    j confirmed there's 2 more in this deck and another deck of 5. They aint going anywhere anytime soon!!!

  94. W.... 4....

    Like sum hells Pit shit one ☝️ of favorites on the CD 💿

  95. T.... C....

    Awesome🔥

  96. P.... 6....

    I love this song it would be great to listen to on Halloween

    P.... 6....

    I love it too whoop whoop 17

  97. J.... L....

    This whole album is supposed to have a feeling of a darker, angry vibe, but sorry guys, you fell really short again. Your flow and lyrics just dont reflect that. If you listen to hells pit, or even the happy go lucky shangri-la, it just has well put together lyrics and the flows just fit; and no it's not about old school, it's that as you've gotten older you've lost that agression, energy and tight flows you used to have....

    J.... L....

    You want to know why they aren't the same? When they were younger they were poor and that is why they were angrier and the lyrics reflected that. They are both rich and honestly I would rather they experiment with different styles than remain the same if the anger isn't genuine.

    J.... L....

    @Katya whoop whoop They still have the individuality it's just that they have both become parents and have matured. They still have the flame it's just not feeding off anger anymore.

    J.... L....

    Jesse Lango Not every Card is going to be (or supposed to be) Hell’s Pit. That was supposed to be over the top dark. And that gets old quick. I.e. Twiztid. I love Twiztid but there’s not a lot of variances. 95% of their shit is (Hey, I’m dark and scary). Not a lot of substance anymore.

    Joker cards aren’t intended to be that dark and gritty. They all have a theme. This album is on par with some of the first decks cards imo. Excellent story.

    J.... L....

    Jesse Lango you got no idea what your talking about.
    Go listen to Eminem noob

    J.... L....

    This album is fuckin fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥

  98. D.... B....

    WHOOP WHOOP!
