The Night Comes Down
Embracing Shadows: The Night's Emotional Journey
Lyrics
When I was young, it came to me
Reflecting on youth and its impact on the speaker
And I could see the sun break-in
Recalling a moment of clarity and optimism
Lucy was high and so was I
Describing a time of intoxication and altered perceptions
Dazzling, holding the world inside
Feeling captivated and powerful, holding the world within
Once I believed in everyone
Having faith and trust in everyone
Everyone and anyone can see
Believing that everyone can recognize certain truths
Oh, oh, the night comes down
Introducing the theme of the night descending
And I get afraid of losing my way
Expressing fear and uncertainty about losing direction
Oh, oh, the night comes down
Reiterating the onset of the night and its implications
Ooh, and it's dark again
Highlighting the darkness that accompanies the night
Once I could laugh with everyone
Recalling a time of laughter and camaraderie
Once I could see the good in me
Remembering a period of self-appreciation
The black and the white distinctively
Noting the clear distinctions between good and bad
Colouring, holding the world inside
Feeling vivid and powerful, holding the world within
Now, all the world is grey to me
Perceiving the world as dull and lacking vibrancy
Nobody can see, you gotta believe it
Feeling isolated, emphasizing the need for belief
Oh, oh, the night comes down
Repeating the theme of the night's arrival
And I get afraid of losing my way
Reiterating fear and anxiety about losing one's path
Oh, oh, the night comes down
Emphasizing the ongoing descent into darkness
Ooh, and it's dark again
Highlighting the persistent darkness
And it's dark again
Repeating the notion of darkness and its impact
And it's dark again
Underlining the enduring state of darkness
