Lyrics
The night is over, the day is come
The transition from nighttime to daytime has occurred.
You're growing older, no longer young
One is aging, no longer in their youth.
You're never sleeping, you're wide awake
Constantly awake, not sleeping.
You're getting older, plans you make
As time passes, one is growing older and making plans.
Oh no, I never wanted to find out
Expressing a feeling of not desiring to discover something unpleasant.
Oh I wish you hadn't fried out
Regret about someone burning out or losing vitality prematurely.
You've fallen under the dark waves
Being overwhelmed by difficult circumstances or emotions.
You're in the work yard with all the slaves
Feeling trapped or constrained in a difficult situation.
No one miss you when you're gone
Perceiving a lack of significance or acknowledgment when absent.
Out there lying the black
An unspecified ominous or negative situation.
I watched the fiend as he was forming
Observing someone becoming malevolent or evil.
Ten years of ugly little warnings
Experiencing a decade of unpleasant signs or indications.
And when you lay down, late in the night
When lying down at night, there's a lack of contemplation.
You don't think about it
Not reflecting upon certain matters.
You don't wonder why
There's no curiosity or questioning about why things are the way they are.
The days are long, and you cannot move
Feeling stuck or incapacitated, unable to make progress.
You only see what you want to see
Selective perception, focusing only on what one wants to see.
You are never coming back
No chance of returning.
Forever falling through the cracks
Continuously falling into problems or being overlooked.
I hope to see you once again
An expressed wish to meet again.
We're all moving towards the end
A recognition that everyone is moving closer to the end of life.
Oh no, I never wanted to find out
Similar to line 5, expressing regret about discovering something unwanted.
Oh I wish you hadn't fried out
Reiteration of regret about someone losing vitality or burning out prematurely.
And when you lay down, late in the night
A repetition of line 13, emphasizing lack of contemplation at night.
You don't think about it
Reiteration of line 14, emphasizing the lack of reflection on certain matters.
You don't wonder why
Repetition of line 15, underlining the absence of curiosity.
The days are long, and you cannot leave
Feeling stuck or confined without the ability to depart.
You only see what you want to see
Selective perception, focusing solely on preferred aspects.
