There's a part of me that feels sorry for the trolls that "have to dislike, because they think it's funny". Sad people, that live in a very small world inside their warped heads.
I take the meaning of this song to be, about a man who has trauma from the past and is haunted by night terrors... and she is afraid to leave him alone while he sleeps (because night terrors can be VERY horrible, people even become violent or hurt themselves during them sometimes) And that she is saying, if the demons from his past want to destroy him they will have to go through her first. I could be wrong but that is how it comes across to me. The park/candle etc could just be pretty metaphors
@Genevieve7979 I totally agree, but I think the park part is where she's with him in his dream, and she's afraid, but she says "Oh fight me," still protecting him.
what a lovely, that must be my favorite of hers... Oh well, no, I love ALL of her songs, she's so... so adorably pixie something, her songs are quite magical! =)

@MISTILAMBELA Haha, I wouldn't be surprised as the song is called 'Night Terror.' I do love a good bit of irony.

My big brother used to have night terrors. I wasn't old enough to understand. My mum was always so scared for him.

Thanks for posting the lyrics to this perplexing song. I now understand it. Previously I thought she was singling "bite me".

I hate how all her songs use pronouns constantly. Its always 'there', 'him', 'he', 'us'.
For me, it just makes the song really hard to listen to.

She supposedly had a boyfriend who suffered from night terrors - which she found fascinating.

@Genevieve7979 I think you're right....maybe the park/candle is her, talking about her "bad dream", if you will. IDK maybe....
