Dead of the Night
Yearning in the Night: Echoes of Love Lost and Dreams Rekindled
Lyrics
Every night as I sit on my own, I still think I can hear you
Expressing a sense of loneliness and yearning, hearing the presence of a person in the speaker's thoughts.
I can't stand all this being alone, I just gotta be near you
Conveying discomfort with solitude, a strong desire to be in close proximity to the person, emphasizing the need for connection.
I don't know if you're coming back, sometimes I could scream
Uncertainty about the person's return, with emotions reaching a point of frustration or desperation.
But every night I know I'll see you, you still live in my dreams
Despite the uncertainty, the assurance that the person continues to exist in the speaker's dreams, indicating a persistent emotional connection.
In the dead of the night, when everybody's sleeping
Setting the scene in the dead of the night, a time of quiet and stillness, possibly symbolizing a deeper emotional state.
Oh, that is the time when you come around
Highlighting the mysterious and elusive nature of the person, suggesting their presence during the silent hours.
You left and my world fell apart, and I was desperate to find you
Expressing the impact of the person's departure on the speaker's life, leading to a sense of desperation in trying to locate them.
I want you back but where do I start, I need help to remind you
Expressing the desire to reconcile but feeling lost on how to initiate the process, seeking external assistance.
I don't know if you'll ever remember, when love reigned supreme
Doubtful if the person will recall past moments of love, emphasizing the importance of those memories.
The only time that I get to see you now, is here in my dreams
Acknowledging the limited access to the person, only encountering them in dreams, reinforcing the emotional impact of their absence.
In the dead of the night, when everybody's sleeping
Reiteration of the nighttime setting and the person's presence during this quiet period.
Oh, that is the time when you come around
Reemphasizing the mysterious nature of the person's appearance during the night.
Oh babe, when you come back, and put an end to this pain
Expressing a longing for the person's return to end emotional suffering and pain.
Meantime if I close my eyes, I'll see you again
Temporary relief through imagination, envisioning the person when the speaker closes their eyes.
In the dead of the night, when everybody's sleeping
Restating the nighttime theme and the person's association with this specific time.
Oh, that is the time when you come around
Reiterating the mysterious and comforting presence of the person during the night.
