Hospitals at Night
Embracing the Night's Journey
Lyrics
And all at once I knew the way
Realization of a newfound direction or purpose.
I don't want to stay and I don't want to wait
Expressing a desire to leave and avoid waiting.
Who's gonna sing you a lullaby
Questioning who will comfort or soothe with a lullaby.
Heard the black night call your name
A reference to a dark, ominous night beckoning.
Heaven knows I'd take your place
Willingness to endure difficulties in someone else's place.
Who's going to carry you away
Wondering who will be the support and take away burdens.
Who's going to carry you home
Questioning who will provide the comfort of a home.
I think I'm going to stay here forever
Expressing a desire for a lasting connection or commitment.
I think I'm going to stay here tonight
Expressing a desire to stay in the current moment or situation.
Who's gonna sing you a lullaby
Reiteration of the need for a comforting lullaby.
All at once I know the way
Reaffirming confidence in the newfound direction or purpose.
I don't want to stay and I don't want to wait
Repeating the desire to leave and avoid waiting.
Who's going to carry me away
Asking who will provide support and carry the speaker away.
Who's going to carry me home
Questioning who will bring comfort and the feeling of home.
So once the black night called my name
Recalling a past encounter with a dark night calling the speaker's name.
And Jesus knows I saw it's face
Acknowledging a spiritual or intense experience with the night.
And let it carry me away
Letting the night guide and transport the speaker.
Who's going to carry me home
Questioning who will provide the sense of home after the journey.
You're a flicker in the dark
Describing someone as a fleeting presence in the obscurity.
The sea
Possibly symbolizing vastness or uncertainty with the sea.
The prow
Referring to a ship's front, suggesting navigation or direction.
The guiding star
Identifying someone as a guiding force or inspiration.
Who's going to carry you away
Questioning who will provide support and carry the person away.
Who's going to sing you a lullaby
Repeating the desire for a comforting lullaby.
Swear I'll be there in the end
Promising presence and support until the end.
And when the night comes in I'll light the brightest firmament
Commitment to illuminate the darkest moments with positivity.
Then you'll always see me clear
Assurance of being visible and clear during challenging times.
Think I'm going to stay here forever
Reiteration of the desire for a lasting connection or commitment.
Think I'm going to stay here tonight
Repeating the desire to stay in the current moment or situation.
Are you safe and sound
Expressing concern for someone's safety and well-being.
