Nuclear fallout

Totally woke up from my nap to write this.
I had a really interesting dream in which I was watching 2 music videos:
1) A band singing a rock song. Dystopian setting in a city, full colour, mid-day. People going about their day on the streets, all visibly anxious about something and yet not knowing what exactly, giving a lot of tension to the scene. Suddenly one man exclaims to another man, "They said we'll be boiling at 11:00", seemingly having an epiphany about what that statement from them entailed. What follows is a nuclear explosion, and the scene was filled with images of the people melting away. The music that followed reminded me a little of Linkin Park's "From The Inside".
2) Male singer singing a rock song. Same setting as the previous one, as if it was meant to be a follow-up of the story. Best I can describe how this singer looked like is Jared Leto in a black Mephisto Pheles outfit. This guy visits the aftermath of the nuclear explosion. Everything in the city is in shambles. This one was particularly interesting because I was half awake and aware I was dreaming, but could clearly hear the song playing out in my head, somewhat impressed that my brain were creating lyrics so fast to the tune. The song REALLY sounds like something 30 Seconds To Mars would sing. Can't remember the lyrics anymore, except for one part in the chorus where he sings, "I wanna go back, I want my friends". Kinda heartbreaking because you learn he lost his friends in the nuclear explosion and he is absolutely depressed. At the start of the song he also starts by singing something about how his body is reacting to the fresh radiation waves at the blast site (head is throbbing hair is falling that sort of stuff), as the scene shows him arriving at the sidewalk his friends disappeared at.
When I said I was "watching 2 music videos" earlier, in actual fact in the dream it was more like I was an onlooker in the actual scenes. Took me a while to rise from the bed, and the first thing I did was to google whatever I could remember about the dreams just in case they weren't really dreams. Alas, they were. Would have liked to hear those songs again though. Isn't the first time my brain made music in my sleep, and because I felt so immersed in it they tended to feel particularly intense.
