Ibland när Johan ska sova blir han ensam med sina tvångstankar, vilket i den här låten bl.a. kopplas till den inledande texten “During the dark I can't sleep all my spirits wake up, see rewards and then proceed to reap…” Alltså, när mörkret faller så kommer monsterna (eller tvångstankarna) fram… därav låttiteln Night creature.
Tanken var att uppbyggnaden av låten skulle symbolisera energifyllda verser och tillbakadragna refränger som ett “nytt perspektiv” utifrån låtens handling.
Night Creature
Text & Musik
J. Friberg
Vers 1
During the dark I can't sleep all my spirits wake up, see rewards and then proceed to reap
Leaping toward what I'm thinkin I need I can't stop myself already fallen too deep
Seeking the things that will satisfy me is a mission I sometimes shouldn't go proceed,
but sometimes I'm taking control when I enter the zone then suddenly turn to a beast
Night creature
Better fight if I reach you
Better stock up on your goods, when my hunger's going through the roof I'll break a tooth when I eat your… food… man I'm being crude
Barely started but way past the interlude
End and the beginning of the year gotta suppress my fears to withstand this god damn winter blues
Dust goes in the air when I take off call it quicksand cause I go down
Quick hands when a cowboy finishes you he only needs one round
Safe and sound like the warning sirens guided to the underground
Here I go again outing myself to the unknown profound
Refräng
But you gotta go
We all need to enter the lands of imagination
We're not meant to know, why we have to see the beautiful turned into evil
Time is thrown out the window, it feels like an endless crescendo, and I don't know what it's tryna tell me?
Maybe it's something we'll have to see
Vers 2
Pair a normal scenario with me and the activity moves unexplainably, I get tired and the choice to sleep is surely ours, nope, I'm woke, into the early hours
It's been a hell of a day, you got stressed, did your best, cheeks turned red from the swell in your face
My brain races my brain, keeps on going away, I don't know if it wins and now it's in rotation
Time runs away like the prey that is and I pray I don't stay in this state, should'a gotten my eight but I'm late to the party, lookin at how I think and I hate it
I'm so unfair to myself, it has started to affect my health
So what is it about, only got time to be brief, here's a summary
Scarred from not havin’ a social life, so when the friends turned up I got overly nice, thought if I said a wrong word, I'd had to go start over and I am not one four the clovers
Like, why didn't I have a better tone, when the guys said hi when they saw me alone?
Or why do I think when I bomb a joke, that my friends don't wanna be homies no more?
I put me in the wrong, unfairly go to question my worth
I look at me and I long for the better one, can't wait for it's birth
I know that it's wrong when I feel I don't belong on earth
I wrote this song cause when the waves appear I struggle to surf
Refräng
But you gotta go
We all need to enter the lands of imagination
We're not meant to know, why we have to see the beautiful turned into evil
Time is thrown out the window, it feels like an endless crescendo, and I don't know what it's tryna tell me?
Maybe it's something we'll have to see
But you gotta go
We all need to enter the lands of imagination
We're not meant to know, why we have to see the beautiful turned into evil
Time is thrown out the window, it feels like an endless crescendo, and I don't know what it's tryna tell me?
Maybe it's something we'll have to see
