I Cry at Night
Night's Melancholy Whispers: Unveiling the Soulful Depths of 'I Cry at Night'
Lyrics
This house that I live in has no reason
This house lacks purpose or meaning.
This house that I sleep in has no purpose
The house lacks a defined function, especially for sleep.
It has a bed and a few old chairs
Basic furniture is present in the house.
Three flights up, two flights of stairs
The house is challenging to access with multiple flights of stairs.
But it has no reason
The house lacks a meaningful purpose.
Then someone shot through the tire swing
An incident occurred where someone shot through a tire swing.
The dogs barked and bayed in the winter and spring
Dogs reacted with barking in the winter and spring.
And the ivy that hung now sadly clings
Ivy that once thrived now clings sadly, reflecting a change.
To a dying season
The ivy clings to a dying season, symbolizing a fading period.
And I cry at night when the lights go out
The speaker experiences emotional pain when the lights go out.
And the green eyes fuse and the full moon shouts
The speaker refers to intense emotional turmoil with vivid imagery.
From road maps and red lines to lipstick lies
References from road maps to lipstick lies suggest deception.
And when the lights go out it's thought to survive
Survival becomes challenging when the lights go out.
This man holds a hand that shows a tremble
A man displays physical signs of nervousness or fear.
This man that I live in bears his faults
The man acknowledges and carries his imperfections.
He has a heart and a well worn soul
The man possesses a heart and a soul marked by experience.
Ten years a slave to rock and roll
The man has devoted a significant part of his life to rock and roll.
But he has to tremble
Despite his strengths, the man experiences trembling.
For the yellow grass on the sun burnt lawn
Describes the condition of yellow grass on a sunburnt lawn.
Sleeps in her seeds from the sunset to dawn
Seeds from the sunset to dawn symbolize cycles of life.
And just like your love that's come and gone
Compares the enduring quality of love to the grass.
It goes on breathing
Love persists and continues, akin to the act of breathing.
