I saw you out there
You were wearing my shoe
And the rabbit
Was sitting on your head.
I tried to run fast
But the grass was holding me down
So I stood there pretty sad
The rabbit will jump on me
And take my heart out
Only if it's possible for you to live with it
Take my shoe and run a little faster darling,
We are so much to see
The moon was laughing
And said leave this dark cold place
The rabbit is preparing something bad
I was so afraid so I ran
but lost my other shoe
I fell down to the grass
The rabbit jumped on me
And took my heart out
And put in its place so you would love it more
You took my shoe and ran so fast to me my darling
We kick the rabbit down
About This Song
"Bad Dream" is a haunting indie-folk track that captures the disorienting logic of nightmares through surreal imagery and vulnerable vocals. Soley crafts a dreamscape where lost shoes, talking rabbits, and laughing moons create an atmosphere of anxiety and helplessness, with the protagonist struggling against forces beyond their control-grass that holds them down, creatures that threaten to steal their heart. The song's minimalist instrumentation and ethereal production mirror the fragmented, illogical nature of dreams, while exploring themes of vulnerability, fear of abandonment, and the desire to escape threatening situations. The repeated motif of shoes suggests themes of identity and preparedness, as the dreamer loses the very things needed to run away. This track stands out for its ability to translate the emotional weight of nightmares into a delicate, atmospheric piece that feels both deeply personal and universally relatable.
