When The Night Comes
Nocturnal Confessions: Unveiling the Shadows in 'When The Night Comes'
Lyrics
I saw you in the forest when the sun was going down
I observed you in the forest as the sun was setting
I saw you on the corner on the other side of town, I never
I spotted you at a street corner on the opposite side of town, a surprise
I never thought you could tie my up this way
I never anticipated you could captivate me in this manner
I bite my nails at night
I exhibit nervous habits like biting my nails during the night
I saw you in the row of tins at the supermarket store
I saw you among the rows of canned goods at the supermarket
I saw you in the mirror on the thirty second floor
I saw you reflected in the mirror on the thirty-second floor
Tension ties me tight like some lace corset long ago
Anxiety tightly binds me, reminiscent of a corset from the past
I bite my nails at night
I engage in nail-biting as a nighttime habit
I can't eat and I can't sleep and I seem to roll round in my bed
I suffer from insomnia and loss of appetite, restlessly rolling in bed
Not feeling well and I look like hell
I feel unwell and my appearance is deteriorating
You've taken clear thought from my head
Your presence has disrupted my clear thinking
When the night comes
Repetition emphasizing the arrival of night and its impact
When the night comes
-When the night comes
-When the night comes
-I heard about your prowess from the ladies on the street
I've heard about your reputation from women on the street
Heard about how you're known to throw your goodness at their feet, I
Word has it that you generously offer your kindness to others
Shrug my somewhat dusty shoulder in disdain
I dismissively shrug my shoulder, displaying indifference
Now I bite my nails at night
Now, I find myself biting my nails at night again
I can't eat and I can't sleep and I seem to roll round in my bed
I continue to struggle with sleep and appetite, restless in bed
Ain't feeling well and I look like hell
I feel unwell, and my appearance reflects the turmoil
You've taken clear thought from my head
Your presence continues to cloud my thoughts
When the night comes
Reiteration of the impact of nightfall
When the night comes
-When the night comes
-When the night comes
-You are my reflection in the mirror every day
You are a daily reflection in my mirror
I judge you from a distance but I'm never far away
I assess you from a distance, though never truly distant
Can never share the cup, I'm harnessed, here I'll stay
I cannot share in your experiences, feeling restrained and anchored
I bite my nails at night
The nail-biting habit persists
And I can't eat and I can't sleep and I seem to roll round in my bed
Insomnia and loss of appetite persist, impacting my well-being
Not feeling well and I look like hell
Physical and mental health decline is evident
You've taken clear thought from my head
Your influence remains strong in clouding my thoughts
When the night comes
Repetition underscoring the recurring theme of night's influence
When the night comes
-When the night comes
-When the night comes
-When the night comes
Continued emphasis on the impact of night
When the night comes
-When the night comes
