Night Comes Creeping
Night's Embrace: Unveiling the Shadows of Change
Lyrics
Day breaks and I don't care
Daybreak occurs, but the speaker is indifferent or unconcerned.
The kiss of light upon the stairs
The gentle illumination of light on the stairs is described as a kiss.
Is coming to the doorway
The light is approaching the doorway, creating anticipation.
But there's nothing out there
Despite the light, there is a sense of emptiness or nothingness outside.
Time's stopped within my mind
Time feels frozen within the speaker's mind.
Same as all the rest behind
The present is similar to the past, suggesting a lack of progression.
Everything has changed while I was sleeping
Change has occurred while the speaker was asleep, emphasizing a sense of disconnection.
One day you'll find she's of another mind
A warning that someone the speaker cares about may change their perspective.
And it won't be long until the night comes creeping
Anticipation of an impending night, symbolizing a challenging or difficult time.
Loud voices fill the sky
Loud voices and unfamiliar faces create a chaotic atmosphere.
Strange faces in her eyes
The person the speaker knew now appears different or changed.
And I'm a stranger now but I just don't know it
The speaker feels like a stranger but is unaware of the change.
The circle closes up too slow
A sense that closure or realization is happening slowly.
Shining in translucent glow
There is a subtle, translucent glow, possibly symbolizing a subtle revelation.
It's darker now 'cause that's the way she sees it
Darkness is described from the perspective of the changed person.
One day you'll find she's of another mind
Reiteration of the warning that someone will change their perspective.
And it won't be long until the night comes creeping
Re-emphasis on the approaching challenging time (night).
Next train to outer space
Reference to a departure or escape to an unknown place.
But of her love there is no trace
No evidence of the person's love in the new destination.
The world just turns to silver when you're alone
Alone, the world appears monochrome or less vibrant.
A different way to bring you down
A different method leads to a downfall or negative outcome.
Falls apart and hits the ground
Things fall apart, symbolizing a loss or deterioration.
'Take it from me' they said
Advice is given by others, taken with hesitation.
So you take it with a trembling hand
The speaker accepts the advice with uncertainty or fear.
One day you find she's of another mind
Reiteration of the warning about someone changing their perspective.
And it won't be long until the night comes creeping
Re-emphasis on the approaching challenging time (night).
Ten million directions coming up and coming on strong
A multitude of possibilities or challenges are emerging forcefully.
These roads run together in my mind's eye
Various paths converge in the speaker's mental landscape.
All I'm leaving behind is a river run dry
The speaker is leaving behind a depleted or exhausted emotional state.
I'm not stealing your vision, you're just blind
Clarification that the speaker is not taking away someone else's perspective; they are simply unable to see.
