about

This soul-stirring track delves into the emotional complexities of growing up in a broken family, offering a raw and immersive experience for listeners.
Inspired by personal experiences, "Bad Dream" is a poignant reflection on the battles that overshadowed Borka's childhood, leaving a lasting impact on her personality and relationships. The song showcases her vocal prowess in climactic moments, providing a beautiful sonic backdrop to the intense lyrics.
The narrative explores the subconscious search for a father's emotional presence in childhood, and the journey of processing storms in the relationship with her mother. Borka expresses gratitude towards her mother, a two-for-one figure in her life, acknowledging the challenges they've faced together.

lyrics

Time will go but "us" will stay
You're the reason I'm in pain
From land to land I'll keep on moving
'Til you become another bad dream

I don't even want to say
I don't even want to pray
For all the victims I have taken
For your conscious oblivion's sake

Empty words and promises
All of you and all your shades
Longing for a candid moment
You showed me how to run instead

I don't even want to say
I don't even want to pray
For all the victims I have taken
For your conscious oblivion's sake

He thinks her love for me is conditional
He says I've always tried to hard for love
Failed upon birth I've always known
She'll always be my two-for-one

I don't even want to say
I don't even want to pray
For all the victims I have taken
For your conscious oblivion's sake
I don't want to know you
I will never know
