Nightmare On The Northside 3 Lyrics – Scrim

Nightmare On The Northside 3 Lyrics Meaning

[Part I]
#[Intro: Scrim]
This intro sets the tone with high energy and pride. Scrim gives a shoutout to his team and where he’s from—the Northside and East Bloc. It’s like he’s calling out his roots, showing off his loyalty and letting people know this is about the gritty, underground scene he’s a part of.

#[Verse: Scrim]
Scrim comes in hard, almost like he’s rising from the dead, ready for war. He talks about always carrying a weapon, daring anyone to step to him, not afraid to die. He’s lost in his own world, fueled by meds and emotional numbness. His mind’s not in a good place—he’s either super high or mentally checked out, even hinting at conversations with dark forces, like being handed a gun by the devil. He’s fully repping his side, spelling out Northside with pride, reminding everyone where he stands and who he’s with. The lines about being “too deranged” and “Scarecrow insane” show that he’s embracing chaos and pain, saying he feels nothing and has fully given himself over to that darkness. He rejects anyone from rival crews and makes it crystal clear who he represents—Grey59 and the Northside crew. He also mentions using weed to try to keep himself together, but even then, it feels like the demons inside him are slowly taking control. The whole verse paints a picture of someone who’s spiraling, but at the same time, owning that darkness like it’s part of his identity.

#[Verse 2: Scrim]
This part amps up the violence and tension. Scrim talks about brutally attacking someone and making sure they’re left bleeding before speeding off in a muscle car. There’s a quick escape as the cops show up, and the crew scatters. But even in chaos, they’re in control, spreading fear and forcing their enemies to recognize who they are. He makes the victim spell out his name as a power move, almost like a twisted sense of pride or dominance. Then he repeats the Northside chant again, showing how deep his connection runs with his crew and where he’s from.

[Part II]
#[Intro: Scrim]
This section keeps repping the same themes: loyalty to his people, pride in his origins, and a nod to the groups he rolls with—Northside, Grey59, and Eastern Bloc. It’s almost like a rally chant, hyping up the movement and letting everyone know exactly who they’re dealing with.

#[Verse 1: Scrim & BIN5U]
This part dives deeper into the drug use and reckless lifestyle. Scrim and BIN5U describe riding around with weapons in the trunk, sipping codeine in luxury cars, and being so messed up it’s hard to function. He mentions having tattoos on his face, which shows he’s all in with this life—no turning back. He’s using hardcore drügs like meth and pills, saying it’s all in his system. Even the way he drives is wild and dangerous, like he’s got nothing to lose. Scrim says he doesn’t just pop a couple pills—he goes all in, just like his dad did, hinting at a family cycle of destruction. He’s not dressing to look good; he wears baggy clothes so he can carry weapons. Then he starts spiraling again—talking about wanting people dead, fighting inner demons, and having violent urges when he’s high. He says he’s in the trenches, surrounded by other lost souls, and ends by repping the East Bloc over and over again. It’s chaotic, raw, and full of pain disguised as aggression.

#[Chorus: Scrim]
This hook repeats a haunting idea: raising the dead. It feels like he’s talking about either bringing back old trauma, letting the demons inside take control, or diving into total madness. It’s dark, creepy, and intense—like he’s fully stepping into a cursed version of himself.

#[Verse 2: Scrim]
Here Scrim shows just how over it he is. He’s tired of people, mentally drained, and off his meds. He’s tweaking again, this time with a knife, ready to snap. He talks about making money but not trusting anyone, saying every girl is a setup. The demons in his mind don’t leave him alone—they take turns messing with him. He admits he’s trying to hide how messed up he is, but deep down, he’s pulled toward the dark side. He makes a creepy Fortnite reference, saying he’s filling the place with “skins,” meaning bodies, not costumes. And finally, he’s out of drügs and hope, wishing for the night—and maybe his life—to end early. It’s desperate, angry, and real.

#[Chorus: Scrim]
Just like before, this last chorus repeats the idea of raising the dead. It’s like he’s fully crossed over to the other side—mentally, emotionally, and maybe even spiritually. There’s no turning back, only chaos from here on out.
