about

The debut single from the Deathcore band Nail Splitter.

The lyrics of Never Sleep Again tell the story of a young mage who wandered deep into a witch’s psychic domain while clumsily astral projecting. After being caught, she haunts his dreams until his psyche blocks them out entirely because of the deep agony his subconscious is in. He tries his hardest to undo the mistake he's made, but to no avail. The witches spell prevails.

Digging deeper into the symbolic meaning, it has to do with the veils we put over our eyes to stop ourselves from chasing dreams. The tendency to blame others for our shortcomings, or the unsatisfactory nature of our lives is all too human. Blindly pushing forward into something we have no understanding of, instead of taking a step back, continuing to destroy the bodies we've been given. It's no wonder we've been cursed into the physical limits of our consciousness; how much chaos and destruction could be unleashed on all had we been allowed to stay in that hallowed place.

lyrics

I keep on having these dreams
So I try to write them down as soon as I wake
but as soon as the pen touches my fingers my brain begin to melt into nothing
You made me this way
You sorry sordid filth

I am at a loss
The visions fade from sight
The witches spell prevails
My fucking eyes sewn wide

What!? What should I do?

Pouring through ancient texts
I've been cursed, confused by what I see
It makes no sense to me
Knowing the finite skills
I patiently await my memory
I craft the fetish of blood and soil and anguish
Moving the wheels of time
This flaming blasphemy in my wake
Curious as to why the witch and I are enemies

Oh shit, what the fuck is going on?
I did not plan for this shit.
My consciousness has been found out by her...

Spiraling decay, falling away from all my senses

As I emerge into the vortex, I am met with unimaginable splendour
Dream-like creatures litter the sky in patterns not unlike my own.
And then as far as my senses can gather, complete emptiness.

I am at a loss
The visions fade from sight
The witches spell prevails
My fucking eyes sewn wide
So I must find a way
To get out this fetid hole
This nightmare I've become
To retire this time (this time)

I must find a way

A break cracks through my eyelids
The chirping of birds meets my ears
I reach my hand out, grasping at my notebook
With the pen in today's page

As long as I can remember
This is the infinite cycle in which
I have been sentenced to life
