Swollen Members - Bad Dreams Lyrics
[Prevail]
In the beginning all I hear is people singing
Deep and low with iron bells ringing
And there's a source of heat near my feet
Im so weak I pass in and out of sleep
I yell out for help but its drown out by weather
Downpour terenchal power of the vengeful
This was all triggered by the sub-conscious central
Sweet dreams are hideous lets not confuse those
Bad dreams will find you confine you to circles
Every other movement is slowed by your mind
That's why stabbing them blind is no crime
With no REM. your bound to cave in
And life in the conscious life is quite grim
If I can't escape than I'll die in my sleep
[Chorus: Mad Child & Prevail]
Sound familiar bad dreams can kill ya
Deeper the sleep the realer man I feel ya
Bad dreams sad scenes and fear
You don't want to have to wake up here
Bad dreams you don't want to have to wake up here
Bad dreams sad scenes and fear
you don't want to have to wake up here
Bad Dreams
you don't want to have to wake up here
[Mad Child:]
Im running down a hall with one wall of flames
With friends I've never seen in my life with strange names
Sound familiar bad dreams can kill ya
Pains not what it seems cold stares and sudden screams
I get in fights every night as im reflecting
Throwing punches fast hard as I can but not connecting
There protected by a force field locked in an engagement
Until I see the colour red when pounding heads into the pavement
Caught up in a chase scene or working on a plan
Sometimes im falling and I have to wake up before I land
Lots of doors to open afraid what I might find
My girlfriend getting fucked with eight more guys in line
Cant wait to rise and shine when ill thoughts are provoked
My girlfriends right beside me getting choked
In real life plus I heard it could get worse
So much for walking in my sleep that's close to murder in the first
[Chorus: Mad Child & Prevail]
Sound familiar bad dreams can kill ya
Deeper the sleep the realer man I feel ya
Bad dreams sad scenes and fear
You don't want to have to wake up here
Bad dreams you don't want to have to wake up here
Bad dreams sad scenes and fear
you don't want to have to wake up here
Bad Dreams
you don't want to have to wake up here
[Prevail]
They say that most people can only dream in black and white
That's why he packs a knife and only reappears at night
I pray for the light to turn him back to stone
And shine bright enough so I can find my way home
[Mad Child]
Watching myself from above and just behind
Like im controlling video games inside my mind
Be careful what you dream for because its right there
Sometimes day dreams turn into nightmares
[Prevail]
I've prepared the chair
electricity rumbles through the air
You don't want to have to wake up here
Its cold in the morning
Breath the eternal frost of our dawning
[Mad Child]
Plus its dark and damp
With slight hints of death
So cold im spitting icicles
Rip right through the flesh
Smoke forms with every breath
The sound of children screaming
Pinch my self I have to wake up
Afraid of dreaming
[Chorus: Mad Child & Prevail]
Sound familiar bad dreams can kill ya
Deeper the sleep the realer man I feel ya
Bad dreams sad scenes and fear
You don't want to have to wake up here
Bad dreams you don't want to have to wake up here
Bad dreams sad scenes and fear
you don't want to have to wake up here
Bad Dreams
you don't want to have to wake up here

I CANT SLEEP SO I AM LISTENING TO THIS
It’s the truth. Bad dreams can dissect your mind
Cold fuckin beat by alchemist 🔥
Watching myself from above and just behind... hes talking about an outer body experience i had a couple of those
Bright Lighting tent
my father passed away a couple years back this was his favorite on our way to do chemo in salt lake. dope shit
Bad dreams will find you confine you too circles
So glad for Manifest Destiny cuz America is diverse asf.. Noone can touch us in the rap game.... we our own opps
"...plus I heard it could get worse,
So much for walking in my sleep that's close to murder in the first. "
Shit's sick
The whole track sick , but I see what you've pointed out shit is sick no doubt .
dope beat
Great song also o dos é gay
Jesus saves and the earth is flat stationary and enclosed Amen
Dope as FUCK
It's a shame they went to nothing but club music.
they were kings as so many buck fifty
IF DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY HAD A VOICE!!!!!!
Sadly, these traits have many voices
SO TRUE
Lots of doors to open, scared what I might find...
Its sad how much theyve changed for the worse
Try write a decent lyric & get away with it without getting it served back when it won't be the right time . Just a tip.
Apukalipsa
Fuck you
Sick from the west coast
The first chorus was tight how nostalgic...
madchild wrecks mothafuckas in battles too! This whole group is fucking beast!
love singing madchild'd part on this tune
DOpe !!
Probably my favorite song by Swollen. Prev's versus are amazing. Wish they would continue this style of music. Having purchased all of their albums I find myself coming back to them from time to time, this one still sticks out to me. I remember seeing them live when i was probably 12-16...The concert was amazing. Prev ended up scaling the stage right up to the top of the rafters hanging upside down and doing his bit. It was amazing. lol They wouldn't let me past the fence only the 'beautiful women' were allowed through.. Prev still came to the fence and ended up signing my arm. Thanks Prev for taking the time to come and greet all your fans! I avoided washing that arm for weeks! haha :)
this song is Dope
I love u
bad dream is very good balance is very good difficult to know what is the best
Move in silence.
It ain't that good kid.
Were is the full album lost my Cd :)
πολυ ψαγμενο
Geochino - what?
+blort late he means too underground man
And sometimes nightmares turning today dreams
Why all these shitty EFX? Not even mastered... Not that hard to make a track on a download-beat. Big minus Swollens.
YEa, it’s bloody cheap!
Cuz you're a bitch
...Sounds familiar?bad dreams can kill ya.deper the sleep the realla./man i feel ya.bad dreams.sad seems an fear.u dont have 2 wake up here.bad dreams.u dnt have 2 wake up here...
I can play video games with my mind
thats called the tetris effect. its very common.
MadChild is the Man !!
Madchild and Prevail
Some of their songs remind me of Immortal Tech. =)
except a lot better
Still my all time fav swollen song.. So dark and true.. Love this shit.
Every Alchemist beat is insane.
My favorite Swollen track
WORD UP
Every Day I used to get Dreams, Some good, Some bad.
I researched a lot on Dreams and finally understood that
"Dreams are UN-fullfilled aims and activities of the day life"
When I searched in Apple Appstore for Dreams, You know what?
I got an app called "dreamed" by Lokesh Hanumappa
This is really cool app which records the dreams and then converts each dream into a goal which is tracked for completion. This is what I wanted and this is really cool
way of maximizing the hints given Dreams.
no i am not, that is what you call ganksta
are you implying that lil wayne is a rapper
THEIR BEST ALBUM EVER
10 people had bad dreams.
Can't believe I've only just discovered these guys fucking mad bunch
Maybe its just me, but this song speaks to a part of my subconscious that I'm barely even able to comprehend. Few people are aware of themselves in the way that Swollen Members are. Almost no one can make a song about it like they do.
...Sound familiar? Bad dreams can kill ya.
fuck the media controlled radio.
SWOLLEN for LIFE KIDS not these z103.5 faggot as rappers!!!!!!!
fuck u clint plattemato u gay fegget
sometimes I'm falling and I have to wake up before I land..
Alchemist Produced. Very Dope. Vancity for life.
omg i heard this beat on a e2g track its fuckin dope so is this song
You dont want to have to wake up here
homie what the fuck are you smoking
That shit is bad ass
yo wtf you talking about your right Physcho realm is dope and stone garden is a sick song but i didnt hear one line in there that Mad child took he doesnt need to do that he is one of the most lyrically talented artist out there
shaddup you just wish you had good kush and MC
classic album
This is too good
GOOD LOOK. I ALREADY CHECKED OUT MANY OF HIS ( SOLO ) TRACKS AND SOME MORE SWOLLEN MEMBERS TRACKS. HE IS DEF ONE OF THE ILLEST AND LYRICALLY CREATIVE. RESPECT
no base these Vancouver babies havee,ee. but video girls are hot. like what white tiger paid for.,
Are you... You're singing to me. Um... Okay then. You're quite an impressive (for lack of a better word) lyricist. Now let's hear you sing that in a YouTube video! :D
lolwut? XD
"ßú"? I have literally no idea what you just said. The binary code was an interesting touch, though. I would've replied in binary, but the character limit is about half the length of this message when it's in binary, not counting this sentence explaining that.
I dont really like pats style, Organik has one of the most original styles even though a bit funky haha.
If you don't care what other people think, why take the time to write that? And yes, I do live with my parents, since I'm sixteen at this time. I'm not even offended by what you said, I'm basically just trolling you. :)
Someday mckinney886 might find him- or herself in a sticky situation, but luckily will be armed to the teeth at the time? ;P Seriously, though, doing that weird, hipsterish half-uppercase-half-lowercase writing doesn't make you look scary. Well, maybe in a "what is humanity coming to, that no-one ever informed that unfortunate person that writing that way looks silly to a lot of people" kind of way.
for even funnier kotd battles, search pat stay, doesnt really matter which one, because he's only been beat once, and that battle in particular was CRAYY ZAAYY
Give a fuck?
...be careful what you dream for, because its right there
Sometimes daydreams turn into nightmares...
dope sick is not a ep
His name is Madchild, just dropped a new Solo EP, called Dope Sick, Check it, straight dope. If you want a kick out of him for real check out KOTD Madchild Vs Dirtbag Dan.
Google "Swollen Members"
FUCKING MADNESS!!! WHO IS THE SECOND GUY?? HIS VERSE IS FUCKING SICK. HIS TONE AND FLOW IS PERFECT FOR THIS BEAT. AND THAT CHORUS IS SOO MURDEROUS. REALL ILL SHIT.
your not cool, your not funny, fuck off!!!!!
so true, Blackout is still one of their best songs
Perfect for freddy cougar lol.
haha 9 more guys in line
i wanna wake up here
This is the stuff that made these guys big.
Unless they make more of this with their whole heart like they did with this song its the down slope for them.
this song is the shit, forgot about this mother fuckers
This is on some real W.I.C.K.E.D shit!
I have very bad dreams every night and this songs comforts me because it tells me I am not alone. "man, I feel ya"..

@theguilty999 its not ur fault that growin up in the hood can make a strong man turn weak but sometimes we just cave in
"If I can't escape then i'll die in my sleep, cause the cliff is too steep and the water's too deep" -Best line ever.
Platoon at the end
