Waking Nightmares
rap, Dreamy K‑rap blend: airy pads and detuned bells over a slow, swinging trap groove; female vocals shifting between breathy melody and sharp Korean rap cadences. Monk‑style low chants layered as rhythmic drones in the hook, drenched in reverb. Verses stay intimate and close-mic’d; chorus blooms wide with stacked harmonies and distant choir swells, subtle sub-bass pulses underneath., melancholy, female vocals, k-pop

Lyrics
Intro
Breath on the glass
Ceiling too close
Clock on the wall
Melting so slow
Verse 1
I run but the room just stretches
Every door folds back to one
Faces blur into blank reflections
Every whisper weighs a ton
Hands on my throat, made of smoke
Still I choke on the silence
I know it’s a dream, but the dream
Feels sharper than violence
Pre-Chorus
Is it you, is it me
Pulling shadows by the strings
I’m awake, I can see
But the dark still clings
Chorus
Waking nightmares
Cut deeper than my sleep can do
Eyes wide open
But I’m drowning in a faded hue
If this is just my mind
Why does it feel like truth?
Waking nightmares
Hold me tighter than you
Verse 2
Hallway of mouths all laughing
But the sound’s stuck on rewind
Every step writes one more caption
In the margins of my mind
I pray but the words fall sideways
Like the rain on tinted glass
Even when the sun breaks sideways
All I see is one more mask
Rap Verse
깨어 있어도 어둠은 내 방에 이사 와 (yeah)
불 켰는데 그림자는 더 또렷해져, oh why
내일을 믿고 싶어도 발목은 어제에 묶여
웃는 가면들 속에서 진짜 난 어디에 숨겨
심장 박동, 북처럼 쿵, 다시 뛰어봐도
벽에 새긴 낙서처럼 지워지지 않아도
기억의 틈 사이로 괴물들이 춤춰도
나는 나를 불러, 낮게 속삭여
Chant
low, steady monk‑like chant under vocal
나를 불러
나를 불러
깨어나, 깨어나
빛을 봐
Chorus
Waking nightmares
Cut deeper than my sleep can do
Eyes wide open
But I’m drowning in a faded hue
If this is just my mind
Why does it feel like truth?
Waking nightmares
Hold me tighter than you
Bridge
If I count to ten, will the walls back down?
If I say your name, will I hear that sound?
Or am I just a ghost in my own house?
Just a ghost in my own house
Chorus
Waking nightmares
Cut deeper than my sleep can do
Eyes wide open
But I’m drowning in a faded hue
If this is just my mind
Why does it feel like truth?
Waking nightmares
Hold me tighter than you (than you)
Outro
chant softens, distant
나를 불러
깨어나
From the waking nightmare
I open to the dawn
