3. Hello there the angel from my nightmare The shadow in the background of the morgue The unsuspecting victim of darkness in the valley We can live like Jack and Sally if we want Where you can always find me And we'll have Halloween on Christmas And in the night we'll wish this never ends We'll wish this never ends (I miss you I miss you) (I miss you I miss you) Where are you and I'm so sorry I cannot sleep I cannot dream tonight I need somebody and always This sick strange darkness Comes creeping on so haunting every time And as I stared I counted The Webs from all the spiders Catching things and eating their insides Like indecision to call you and hear your voice of treason Will you come home and stop this pain tonight Stop this pain tonight • Don't waste your time on me you're already The voice inside my head (I miss you miss you) Don't waste your time on me you're already The voice inside my head (I miss you miss you) Don't waste your time on me you're already The voice inside my head (I miss you miss you) Don't waste your time on me you're already The voice inside my head (I miss you miss you) Don't waste your time on me you're already The voice inside my head (I miss you miss you) Don't waste your time on me you're already The voice inside my head (I miss you miss you) I miss you (miss you miss you) I miss you (miss you miss you) I miss you (miss you miss you) I miss you (miss you miss you)

4. CONTENT In this song the author wants to speak about his ex-girlfriend who left him; in fact the central message of the text concerns the singer’s sentiments. Obviously in the song there are more lines in which we can find how much the author still loves his ex-girlfriend and since this love is very strong the singer wants to show this feeling all over the world. The singer with this song wants to turn back and stay with this loved girl because he misses her.

5. ANALYSIS The author considers his loved girl as an angel from heaven but present in his nightmares. Perhaps she is the only good thing in his nightmares. But this “angel” is also present as a shadow in the morgue or a victim of the darkness in the valley . With this poetic elements the writer expresses that everything is dark and the atmosphere is frightening but the love for his girl can live everywhere even in the dark shadows of a morgue or of a dark valley. These are all poetic devices and most of them are metaphors and epithets. He uses comparisons and repetitions like: “I miss you, I miss you”. In the second stanza the things seem to get worse as his nightmares are more gloomy. In our opinion in the song there is a strong desire of the artist to end this suffering, and to hug his beloved. We have noticed another important point, exactly in the refrain of the song "Don't waste your time on me you're already, the voice inside my head"... In this affirmation the singer shows his love to his girl, and tells her not to waste her time, because she is inside the head of the artist.
