It Comes at Night
Embracing Shadows: Unveiling the Deep Meaning in Mads Francis' 'It Comes at Night'
Lyrics
I could show you what's been hiding in the dark
I could reveal the hidden things in the darkness
I could shine a light, a flash, a flame, a spark
I could bring illumination, a sudden burst of light, a fire, or a small ignition
I could show you every fiber of my heart
I could expose every part of my emotions and innermost feelings
I could pick it all apart
I could analyze and dissect it completely
But then it comes in the night and haunts my home
Despite my efforts, something ominous arrives at night and torments my dwelling
I can feel it deep inside my bones, but no one believes it
I sense it profoundly within me, but nobody trusts or acknowledges it
I submit to the safety of my phone
I surrender to the security offered by my phone
I believe we know the great unknown, and it's down beneath us
I hold the belief that we comprehend the vast mysteries, yet they lie buried underneath us
I've been thinking of Spinoza and Descartes
I've been pondering the philosophical ideas of Spinoza and Descartes
Could they really have an argument for God?
Could they truly present a rational argument for the existence of God?
That's insane—might blow my brains out in the yard
This notion seems absurd—it might drive me to extreme actions
I climb into bed and then I start to drift off
I lie down to rest and begin to drift off to sleep
But—fuck—I think about it
But abruptly, I find myself fixated on it
Then it comes in the night and haunts my home
Then, something unsettling enters my space during the night and troubles my home
I can feel it deep inside my bones, but no one believes it
I sense it deeply ingrained within me, but nobody acknowledges its existence
I submit to the safety of my phone
Again, I seek refuge in the safety provided by my phone
I believe we know the great unknown, and it's down beneath us
I hold firm to the belief that we comprehend the immense unknown, yet it remains hidden beneath us
Look, I'll admit that I wish to disappear
Admitting that I desire to vanish or escape completely
Fly away and leave the atmosphere—is it just an impulse?
To depart and abandon the Earth's atmosphere—questioning if it's merely an impulsive desire
It haunts my home, knows I'm alone
This unsettling presence invades my dwelling, aware that I am alone
And I can't believe it
And I struggle to accept its reality
This cold hits me so hard
This intense feeling of cold affects me deeply
I'm on my phone, I can't let go
I'm fixated on my phone, unable to release its grasp
'Til it's down beneath us
Until this mysterious presence is concealed below us
