Marling, Laura - Night Terror Lyrics






I woke up and he was screaming.
I'd left him dreaming.
I roll over and shake him tightly, and whisper "If they want you, then they're gonna have to fight me,"
(Oh, fight me)

I woke up on a bench on Shepherd's Bush Green
Oh a candle at my chest, and a hand on his knee.
I got up it was dark there's no-one in this park at this hour,
How do I keep finding myself here?
Oh, fight me.

If I look back and he is screaming,
I'd left him dreaming, the dangers fade,
I'll run back and shake him tightly
And scream "if they want him, then they're gonna have to fight me!" (Oh, fight me).

But if I wake up on a bench on Shepherd's Bush Green
Oh, a candle at my chest, and a hand on his knee.
I'll roll over and hold him tightly, and scream "If you want him, well you're gonna have to fight me!" (Oh, fight me).

Don't; fight me.

Marling, Laura Night Terror Comments
  1. J.... B....

    Damn... I stumbled on this song randomly, and I couldn't be happier that I did.
    This is amazing.

  2. �.... �....

    Это божественно!!!!!!!

  3. K.... D....

    Essa música é uma das mais lindas que já ouvi.

  4. M.... A....

    God she's beautiful. But what a talent..

  5. C.... E....

    I love her. Last night I kept hearing her voice in my dreams, I woke up and played her music. She calms me down...

  6. G.... O....

    cara a voz dessa mulher me faz sentir uma coisa tão estranha. mas uma coisa boa

  7. H.... K....

    Bu şarkıyı çok seviyorum ama klibi ilk kez izledim. Ürkütücü...

  8. b.... m....

    This was the last song my best friend sent to me before she died

  9. I.... M....

    you can feel the hurt in this song, but brilliantly written you can the loneliness too.

  10. E.... G....

    Only just discovering Laura Marling and OMG i'm just bathing in it. It is fucking incredible. If you know then you know.

  11. T.... H....

    I wish you'd stayed Laura Marling instead of adopting your faux-Irish folk persona. I understand it's easier to churn out turgid wallpaper music you don't need to channel yourself into at all. And it sells so, really, why should you bother?

    T.... H....

    Tune Hawk my sentiment exactly..

  12. A.... �....

    _"If they want you, then they're gonna have to find me." The reaper._

  13. A.... ....

    One of those songs that stay with you to haunt you, to make you reveal your true self to yourself, to cry your soul and eyes out to. I can't even define what I feel while listening to it. It's like the hardest burden and the feeling of complete freedom and relief simultaneously. It just transcends space and time.

  14. R.... ....

    I love it.

  15. S.... C....

    I've been listening to this song for years and it still tears me up inside

  16. D.... G....

    Love You Laura. ♥
    From Brazil

  17. b.... m....

    This was the last song my friend sent to me before she took her life. This song means so much.

  18. S.... C....

    amazing :O

  19. M.... J....

    Haunting.The first time we heard this on the radio, we had to pull the van over. Such a great song, really atmospheric :)

  20. m.... ....

    She is one of the best singer/songwriters I have ever heard. Lyrically amazing

    m.... ....

    Can't believe she was only 16 when she wrote this.

  21. m.... ....

    Had this album since it came out, it's phenomenal. Just perfect

  22. S.... P....

    This song speaks to me - the terror is beyond words.    Very hard to see how it is for those who see it from outside, this helps. 

  23. J.... M....

    I'm always expecting the Burger King to show up in this video

  24. D.... B....

    I love love love love love this song but pretty disappointing video. :/

  25. M.... B....

    @Kappo Juan its Miles can you pick up your phone c'mon its been two weeks

  26. d.... ....

    ♦ If you want him... You're gonna have to fight me.. ♦

  27. J.... t....

    Charlie fink on violin?

  28. J.... I....

    I was disturbed by the video but was loving the music at the same time.! does this make me some sort of sadist?

  29. E.... S....

    it better this way... sometimes when artists become famous they pop out... i not saying this would hapen with laura in fact im sure it will not! but i want her to stay our little secret...

  30. D.... B....

    Yeah man, this is a woman who started her career gigging with Mumford and Sons. I believe she writes all of her songs, at least the majority of them. Laura doesn't have to stand on looks or image or anything because she has so much talent. She could look butt ugly and still be more talented than Swift.

  31. T.... ....

    AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Such bullshit

  32. T.... ....

    does that happen to you a lot???? Honestly curious

  33. c.... ....

    Did they film this backwards?

  34. J.... P....

    I can not describe the feeling when the solo violin begins

  35. D.... B....

    Isn't it bullshit that people flip out non stop over Taylor Swift while Laura, who has more talent in her pinkie than Swift does in her whole body, is still flying under the radar here in the states? Listen to The Beast, you'll know what I'm talking about.

  36. r.... ....

    You just get the feel she sings of her own personal experiences

  37. N.... ....

    Good lord, that's terrifying.

  38. 4.... ....

    Shivers every time at the 'Fi-ight me' bit....I've already listened to this loads of times but i still get 'that' feeling.

  39. G.... ....

    HOLD ON, is that Noah and the Whale behind the masks??

  40. b.... ....

    @Kittenzfury I completely agree. On the album, the violin part is the loudest bit of the song. Good video, though.

  41. d.... ....

    amo esta canción

  42. T.... ....

    If they want you oh they're gonna have to fight me! Wow. That is disturbingly romantic.

  43. h.... ....

    terror is right. those masks scared the shit out of me. love laura though

  44. J.... K....

    Blogged it!

  45. T.... T....

    Had a night terror on Sunday, was really disturbing... A cloud spirit came into my room while I lay there, it came and lied down next to me as if spooning me, it was heavy like a human presence, an arm came round my body to suffocate me, thats when i ripped open my eyes and gasped for breath... I hate them

  46. n.... ....

    I never knew they'd made a video for this song! Nice. :D

  47. o.... ....

    how are these comments two years old yet this video was uploaded today???

  48. t.... ....

    @Guitar4life97 well doesn't it?

  49. S.... A....

    I saw those masks in Walmart in the halloween costume isle, they are really creepy looking.

  50. a.... ....

    26 dislikes can f*ck off and find some taste in great music

  51. l.... ....

    very Jeff Buckley..

  52. J.... K....

    @tgsnape \m/ slipknot \m/

  53. l.... ....

    @SuckMyCurry I don't want to start a slagging match here but the fact that your user name is SuckMyCurry says enough. Slow does not equal boring. Everyone is entitled to their opinion though.

  54. t.... ....

    Somehow someway this song and video remind me of slipknots vermillion

  55. S.... ....

    @SuckMyCurry Not at all. It is a different genre of music, and from time to time I enjoy a sad song. It speaks to my mood at that moment. If I am trying to feel up beat I listen to something up tempo...

  56. A.... D....

    @SuckMyCurry yes, i find it needs a beat or something to liven it up (:

  57. J.... ....

    Night Terror is the most terrifying experience a human can ever experience (that doesn't cause bodily damage). Your brain tells you that everything happening around you is real, and you believe its real.

  58. J.... ....

    Do you guys not find this fucking boring?

  59. J.... ....

    really scary video but a beautiful song..

  60. J.... ....

    One of my favorite songs of hers :)

  61. K.... D....

    i miss this laura

  62. S.... B....

    is that marcus on the violin?

  63. 4.... ....

    I came across this song lastnight...fuking amazing...incredible voice. I typcally dont listen to indie rock. But gotta give respect where respect due.

  64. C.... ....

    @ch3rubrock
    Aye, It reminds me of East Hastings by Godspeed You! Black Emperor too.

  65. i.... ....

  67. c.... ....

    black emperor i think>?>?>

  68. d.... ....

    I'm fascinated by her talent!

  69. M.... ....

    @doctorwhofangirl22 exactly my thought, im a complete waste of space.
    i cant even imagine wat else she will come up with

  70. j.... s....

    so beautiful but god i hate cheesey preshow ads. aren't you rich enough yet telus?

  71. d.... ....

    She pulls off that look of an eerily disturbed calm so, so well.

  72. z.... ....

  74. k.... ....

    I love this song, but the video's right gash!

  75. J.... ....

    So terrifying and heartbreaking, yet so beautiful that I continue to listen.

  76. E.... W....

  84. f.... a....

    Doesn't everybody?(:

  85. S.... O....

    I love this song, she has a way of speaking for my soul. Beautiful.

  86. q.... ....

    ive been obsessed with this song all week i cant stop listening but if i'm going to have an obsession it might as well be the music of someone who is as talented as she is

  87. B.... D....

    i love her stuff, her voice reminds me of Ingrid Michealson, only her songs are much darker then Ingrids... but a good different..

  88. M.... ....

    This song is so unsettling but I can't stop listening - now that's frustrating XD her music is so haunting ...

  89. s.... ....

    definite reminder of 60s acid music
    magic

  94. F.... O....

    Holy crap, those faces scared the shit out of me when I first saw them properly. D: But anyways, this song is beautiful, and so emotional. I love the lyrics, but I have no idea what they mean.

  95. s.... ....

  96. O.... N....
