My theory is that this guy is lucid dreaming so often that the line between dreams and reality are getting muddled. Every time he goes to sleep, he believes he is actually living those dreams, calling himself a "sleepwalker" because the dreams are so vivid they feel like they are actually happening to him while he sleeps.
So what the song is about (his words btw) is for years hes experienced night terrors and the night terrors would also cause him to sleep walk. There are different versions of the song that represent different night terrors hes had.
My middle child played this absolute banger of an ear worm last night. This is so bloody good. The whole album is just fantastic. I love it (and weirdly it makes feel a little seen as someone who struggles with PTSD bad dreams. Bad thoughts give me bad dreams indeed :(. )
[Intro] Bad thoughts give me bad dreams And my bad dreams make me get up and walk Bad thoughts give me bad dreams And my bad dreams make me sleepwalk Bad thoughts give me bad dreams And my bad dreams make me get up and walk Bad thoughts give me bad dreams And my bad dreams make me sleepwalk [Verse 1] It scares the hell out of anyone around The sounds are near My sister locked her door one time Until the coast was clear [Pre-Chorus] I wake, try to remember it Grab a glass from the cabinet Close my eyes, subconscious trapping it now Try to pry it open I wake, try to remember it Grab a glass from the cabinet Close my eyes, subconscious trapping it now Try to pry it open [Chorus] Then it becomes, it becomes, it becomes a problem Then it becomes, it becomes, it becomes a problem Then it becomes a problem, then it becomes a problem Then it becomes, it becomes, it becomes a problem [Post-Chorus] Bad thoughts give me bad dreams And my bad dreams make me get up and walk Bad thoughts give me bad dreams And my bad dreams make me sleepwalk [Verse 2] Evening, this voice comes across the room I'm standing on my knees I'm panting, breathing heavily There's rug-burns burning me [Pre-Chorus] I wake, try to remember it Grab a glass from the cabinet Close my eyes, subconscious trapping it now Try to pry it open I wake, try to remember it Grab a glass from the cabinet Close my eyes, subconscious trapping it now Try to pry it open [Chorus] Then it becomes, it becomes, it becomes a problem Then it becomes, it becomes, it becomes a problem Then it becomes a problem, then it becomes a problem Then it becomes, it becomes, it becomes a problem [Outro] Bad thoughts give me bad dreams And my bad dreams make me get up and walk Bad thoughts give me bad dreams And my bad dreams make me sleepwalk Bad thoughts give me bad dreams And my bad dreams make me get up and walk Bad thoughts give me bad dreams And my bad dreams make me sleepwalk
Man this and River rat were some of my favorite songs growing up. Going down nostalgic songs lane and wouldn't dare to forget about these underrated masterpieces
Came from a Gravity Falls animatic. I’m obsessed with this song now haha! Absolutely incredible work!! Glad this hidden treasure is getting more recognition :)
3:06 I love this part so much, both the visual and audio aspect contribute to that buildup and its incredible, only to go back to the more mild tune and visuals suddenly! Why doesn't this have more popularity?!
Many have said it but, yeah the fact that this song isn’t more than well known is such a surprise. I’ve been listening for a couple of years now and this is genuinely so well written and fun to listen too!
As someone with intensely vivid dreams that cause a blur between what I know is real, sometimes resulting in me thrashing and fighting back while still asleep, I come back to this song over and over again as the trance like repetition really does embody the feeling perfectly
I kinda wish that this music video was a movie. Imagine this guy going through every stage of grief throughout the movie and finally being content with this fate of dying and waking to be just be attacked again.
I played this over and over to power through hours of work for my ceramics class. That was two years ago and I still listen to it regularly... that's how you know a song is good!
I love how the rhythms breaking into descending triplets give a feeling like grasping at normalcy only to have it repeatedly slip away while the "it becomes a problem" lines convey a sort of inevitability and inescapability. Meanwhile the verses, where we get the most coherent and consistent lines of thought are dealing with the impact. Like a lucid realization in the bright light of day what was really happening when the narrator was having his bad dreams.
this song is fire, but the fact that 8 MILLION VIEWS COMES FROM ANIMATION MEMES ALONE and this only has 342k just makes me sad, this needs more recognition
Want your song to become popular, give it to popular animator. Seriously, I’m happy I’ve found this song but that’s so sad that not a lot of people knew it existed until now
I discovered this just last night on a radio stream by a French DJ. How this made it to France, but escaped my ears for 11 years is just a shame. This is a classic case of an artist not getting the representation he's due.
hey, you don’t know me. just some stranger online who loves this song so much they made it there figure skating program and won gold so i wanted to thank you for making this song it’s scary how good this song is.
I’ve been listening to this song for well over a year now and I’m just realizing that there’s a music video? Ah no matter how late I was though I absolutely adore it y’all are so underrated, much love
Omg found this randomly in spotify and i thought it's was a popular song because it's sound so beautiful and i saw this i get disappoinment at it , need more recognizition honestly
Found this on a 'POV you grew up in a cult' playlist as the first and only song I didn't recognize on it, (and now my favorite) feel like if he posted this on tiktok instead in this climate it'd become a banger for people quick
As a person who gets night terrors often I am thankful I don't sleepwalk but this video reminds me of my night terrors and Sir you captured the fear and confusion after waking up from a lucid dream perfectly.
this encapsulates dreaming so well... how everything seems so connected and disconnected at the same time, the way you know both everything and nothing about what's happening, the way things merge into one another until they're almost indistinguishable... this is just so well made man :D
Hey I’m a little late to the party but I’ve been spreading your song to my friends and they all love you, hope you get the recognition you need your musics amazing

This guy still hearting comments after 9 years. He needs more recognition
Like seriously, this is such a good song
Thanks stranger, appreciate you
@@randmstrnger176 I agree!
Yea
Make that 10
My theory is that this guy is lucid dreaming so often that the line between dreams and reality are getting muddled. Every time he goes to sleep, he believes he is actually living those dreams, calling himself a "sleepwalker" because the dreams are so vivid they feel like they are actually happening to him while he sleeps.
damn u got hearted
So what the song is about (his words btw) is for years hes experienced night terrors and the night terrors would also cause him to sleep walk. There are different versions of the song that represent different night terrors hes had.
The songs about the confusion he feels after waking up from sleep walking and not remembering a thing and how freaky it is
@@Banana-xk1gs I dare you to find a single comment that isnt hearted
@@fedcab4360 bro that was 2 years ago. ignore the fact i replied in 14 hours
Jesus Christ this is so underrated and so lovely, why is this not really discovered yet?
True where are the people
He liked this comment even though it’s nine years late lol
@@CWcaudell44MYou are honestly right pfft, I didn't know he was really alive haha!

Randomly found this song via Spotify. Happy to discover there is a kickass video to go along with.
Same
Same it’s already on my favorites playlist.
this is catchy ngl especially the “then it becomes a problem”
Think that's called a chorus
It's like if smth bad happens or your being chased by someone.
FRRRRR
My middle child played this absolute banger of an ear worm last night. This is so bloody good. The whole album is just fantastic. I love it (and weirdly it makes feel a little seen as someone who struggles with PTSD bad dreams. Bad thoughts give me bad dreams indeed :(. )
🙏❤️
An underrated masterpiece. It gives such great vibes I can't find anywhere else.
[Intro]
Bad thoughts give me bad dreams
And my bad dreams make me get up and walk
Bad thoughts give me bad dreams
And my bad dreams make me sleepwalk
Bad thoughts give me bad dreams
And my bad dreams make me get up and walk
Bad thoughts give me bad dreams
And my bad dreams make me sleepwalk
[Verse 1]
It scares the hell out of anyone around
The sounds are near
My sister locked her door one time
Until the coast was clear
[Pre-Chorus]
I wake, try to remember it
Grab a glass from the cabinet
Close my eyes, subconscious trapping it now
Try to pry it open
I wake, try to remember it
Grab a glass from the cabinet
Close my eyes, subconscious trapping it now
Try to pry it open
[Chorus]
Then it becomes, it becomes, it becomes a problem
Then it becomes, it becomes, it becomes a problem
Then it becomes a problem, then it becomes a problem
Then it becomes, it becomes, it becomes a problem
[Post-Chorus]
Bad thoughts give me bad dreams
And my bad dreams make me get up and walk
Bad thoughts give me bad dreams
And my bad dreams make me sleepwalk
[Verse 2]
Evening, this voice comes across the room
I'm standing on my knees
I'm panting, breathing heavily
There's rug-burns burning me
[Pre-Chorus]
I wake, try to remember it
Grab a glass from the cabinet
Close my eyes, subconscious trapping it now
Try to pry it open
I wake, try to remember it
Grab a glass from the cabinet
Close my eyes, subconscious trapping it now
Try to pry it open
[Chorus]
Then it becomes, it becomes, it becomes a problem
Then it becomes, it becomes, it becomes a problem
Then it becomes a problem, then it becomes a problem
Then it becomes, it becomes, it becomes a problem
[Outro]
Bad thoughts give me bad dreams
And my bad dreams make me get up and walk
Bad thoughts give me bad dreams
And my bad dreams make me sleepwalk
Bad thoughts give me bad dreams
And my bad dreams make me get up and walk
Bad thoughts give me bad dreams
And my bad dreams make me sleepwalk
thank u
He literally has a Minecraft bed
Yup
Well your not wrong
underrated asf. People, THIS is what means to be underrated, when unofficial mvs are more popular than the official thing itself!

@@forrestdaymusic I love ur songs too ♥️
love how until now I've only heard the audio of this so I assumed that the music video would help me understand it better, it did not.
It’s a bad dream I think
@@justanonion3781 aka -a nightmare- a spoopy bad movie thats free and was created by your mind and plays it for you when you sleep
