Night People
Embracing the Night: A Journey to Self-Discovery through Freddie Dickson's 'Night People'
Lyrics
I didn’t know where I was, I just kept running with no cause for concern
I was lost and uncertain, but I continued without worry.
I was scared to sit around
Fearful of idleness, I avoided sitting still.
Feeling out a newfound living, the creeping out, it all came with it but I felt
Exploring a new way of life, the unsettling aspects accompanied it, yet I felt...
I could be no one to anyone
I believed I could be insignificant to everyone.
Cos it was nobody’s time but mine
Because the time belonged to no one else but me.
It was nobody’s time but mine
It was a time that belonged exclusively to me.
Swimming round in the dark, the jumped up crowd going hard their own way
Navigating through darkness, amidst an energetic and rebellious crowd.
With no fear of who they are
Fearless of self-discovery.
And the wide-eyed kids were running past, their looks of freedom gave a glance and I thought
Observing carefree youngsters running past, their freedom appealed to me.
This is something that I want
I desired to have something similar.
And it was nobody’s time but mine
Because the time belonged to no one else but me.
It was nobody’s time but mine
It was a time that belonged exclusively to me.
Night people, night people, wherever you are
Referring to those who come alive at night, wherever they may be.
Night people, night people, you’ll forever be loved
Assuring night people that they will always be loved.
As the days rolled out, I could tell, I’d almost found what it was I needed
As time passed, I sensed I was nearing what I sought.
The change was looking up
Positive changes were becoming apparent.
They showed me love, when I was down
Experiencing love and support during challenging times.
So I’d feel I was fighting for a reason
To feel that I was fighting for a meaningful purpose.
And it was nobody’s time but mine
Because the time belonged to no one else but me.
It was nobody’s time but mine
It was a time that belonged exclusively to me.
Night people, night people, wherever you are
Referring again to those who come alive at night, wherever they may be.
Night people, night people, you’ll forever be loved
Assuring night people that they will always be loved.
Night people, night people, wherever you are
Reiteration of the presence of night people, wherever they may be.
Night people, night people, you’ll forever be loved
Reassuring night people once more that they will always be loved.
