Day Becomes Night
Aristocratic Descent: Unveiling the Depths of Souls in 'Day Becomes Night'
Lyrics
Oh, I'm an aristocrat
Expressing a sense of social status and privilege.
And I get off on selling souls
Deriving pleasure from manipulating and exploiting others.
They try to ignore me but bow before me
People may resist but ultimately submit to the speaker's influence.
Oh, that's how it goes
Describing the inevitability of the power dynamic.
Your life is a welcome mat on which I step and drag my toes
Life is subservient to the speaker, and they tread upon it casually.
The passage of time will creep up behind you
Time has a way of catching up, possibly hinting at consequences.
Oh, that's how it goes
Reiterating the inescapable nature of the described situation.
When you get that feeling that there is a monster,
Suggesting a sense of foreboding or danger.
There's always a reason, your conscience is haunted
Feeling haunted by guilt or remorse.
The spirits are humming the song of an offer
Referencing an ominous song and an impending offer or temptation.
And you won't be safe anywhere
No place is safe from the consequences of one's actions.
The days are too long
Reflecting on the length of difficult times.
And then they end
Acknowledging the temporary nature of difficult moments.
Right when we wanted some more
Expressing a desire for more positive experiences.
They always end
Highlighting the abrupt end of positive moments.
Right when we needed some more
Emphasizing the untimely nature of challenges.
Then day becomes night
Transitioning from day to night as a metaphor for challenges.
As we close our eyes to sleep
Symbolizing a retreat from reality or difficulties through sleep.
And why can't I feel it?
Questioning the inability to sense something important.
And why can't we just be
Expressing a desire for unity or connection.
Together now?
Yearning for togetherness amidst challenges.
Oh, I'm an aristocrat
Reiteration of social status and control over others.
And I can make this hell your home
The speaker can make a difficult situation more bearable.
The passage of time was always beside you
Time is a constant companion in difficult situations.
Oh, that's how it goes
Repeating the inevitability of the described circumstances.
Have they got a name for this sorrow?
Pondering the naming of a deep sorrow.
Against all, where we once stood tall
Facing adversity and loss of stature.
And it’s easy to wait for tomorrow
Eagerly awaiting a better future despite challenges.
When there’s nothing to miss
Anticipating a future without regrets.
The days are too long
Repetition of the perceived length of challenging times.
And then they end
Reflecting on the passage of time and its impact.
Right when we wanted some more
Expressing the desire for more positive experiences.
They always end
Reiterating the untimely end of positive moments.
Right when we needed some more
Emphasizing the need for positive experiences.
Then day becomes night
Repeating the transition from day to night metaphor.
As we close our eyes to sleep
Symbolizing escape from challenges through sleep.
And why can't I feel it?
Questioning the inability to feel something important.
And why can't we just be
Reiterating the desire for unity or connection.
Together now?
Yearning for togetherness despite challenges.
Well that's what I call one hell of a day
Reflecting on a challenging day.
And a weight on my back
Feeling burdened by the challenges faced.
That's what I call one hell of a life
Describing life as challenging and burdensome.
With my spine twisted in a knot
Physical and metaphorical strain on the speaker.
Oh, I'm an aristocrat and I get off on selling souls
Reiteration of social status and manipulation of others.
They try to ignore me but bow before me
People resist but ultimately submit to the speaker's influence.
Oh, that's how it goes
Reiterating the inevitability of the power dynamic.
