¹ According to jisho.org 夢魔 (muma) means: 1. nightmare​ 2. incubus; succubus; demon appearing in a dream​. The translation can be just "incubus" or like I did, you choose.

According to wikipedia, incubus is a male shaped demon that lies upon sleeping women in order to engage in sexual activity with them. The incubus drains the victim's energy to feed, and most often leaves it alive, but in very fragile conditions. The female version of this demon is called succubus.

² At this part, in the lyrics is written 虹灯(niji + dou) = rainbow lights, but he sings ネオン (NEON), which changes all the meaning from what he said.

³ 孕ませる(hamaseru) means, according to rikai-kun, to conceive; to become pregnant; to get filled with. All this meanings makes sense in the context.
