Another Night
Lonely Dreams: Unveiling the Heartache in James Butterfield's 'Another Night'
Lyrics
Another night
Feeling solitude once again
I'm left alone
Left to my own devices
To my longing
Longing for something
Oh it haunts me
A haunting feeling consumes me
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to escape
But get some sleep
Only recourse is to sleep
And as I drift off
Drifting into slumber
Who's there waiting?
Curiosity about who awaits in dreams
Oh you know who
A familiar presence, consistently
It's always you
The constant companion is you
Another night
Repetition of the cycle
Spent all alone
Night spent in isolation
But I hear your voice
Hearing your voice through technology
From my cell phone
A sense of unreality in the dream
But it's not real
The paradox of a dream
I'm in a dream
In a dream state, disconnected
The floorboards open
Surreal moments, uncertainty
And I start falling
A symbolic fall, emotional descent
It's always you (Oh baby)
Reiteration of the constant presence
It's always you
Confirmation of a recurring companion
I can't take another night
An inability to endure more nights
No, I can't take another night
Expressing the unbearable nature
I can't take another night
Continued struggle with the nights
Dreamin of you, no it can't be right
Dreams of you, a troubling thought
I can't take another night
Repetition of the emotional burden
No, I can't take another night
Reiterating the difficulty
I can't take another night
The ongoing challenge of enduring nights
Killin me babe, you're my kryptonite
You, the source of vulnerability
I can't take another night
The repeated struggle is overwhelming
Oh, I can't take another night
Intense difficulty in facing more nights
I can't take another night
Reiteration of emotional turmoil
Dreamin of you, no it can't be right
Continued distress in dreaming of you
I can't take another night
The emotional toll persists
Oh, I can't take another night
A plea, unable to endure more nights
I can't take another night
The torment of dreaming of you
Dreamin of you, no it can't be right
The persistent and unsettling dreams
