Why is the Night
Night's Cruel Embrace: Seeking Solace Amidst Guilt and Pride
Lyrics
You still ache for the girl
You still long for the girl
Flung from hell into your living room
Thrown or expelled from a difficult situation into your immediate environment
She stirred you up a step then dragged
She prompted you to take a step forward, then retreated back to a difficult situation
Herself back to the heat
She returned to the challenging circumstances or environment
Why is the night
The singer questions the reason for the challenging nature of the night
Treating you this way
Asking why the night is treating you poorly
Still you're looking for
Despite the hardships, you're still searching for a place of comfort or refuge
A place to stay
You're seeking a place to settle or find solace
Hell is made out of guilt
Guilt forms the essence or composition of hell
Heaven out of pride
Pride comprises or defines heaven
The guilty are simply self-aware
Those feeling guilty are simply conscious of their own wrongdoing
Days and nights treat them all the same
Both days and nights treat guilty individuals similarly
Nightmarish but confirmed
Nightmares are distressing but acknowledged by the majority as normal or rational
By masses to be sane
Commonly accepted by many despite being frightening or distressing
Why is the night
Reiteration of questioning why the night is being harsh
Treating you this way
Continued inquiry into the mistreatment during the night
Still you're looking for
Even amid difficulties, you persist in seeking a place of residence or comfort
A place to stay
Persistent search for a secure or soothing place
Equally fictitious
Comparable in its fictional nature to both heaven and hell
As heaven and as hell
This night is not as harsh or unforgiving as life on earth
But not as cruel as this earth
The singer departs, but you fail to shut the door behind
I leave but you never close the door
Difficulty in decisiveness; contemplating extensively before making a choice
My problem is
The singer's predicament is hesitating or reconsidering decisions multiple times
I think twice
Thinking twice and then further contemplating
And then some more
Continuing to mull over a decision or situation
