Self Control
Embracing Night's Seductive Spell: Self-Discovery Through Sublime Reggae Harmony
Lyrics
Oh, the night is my world
Expresses a sense of comfort and belonging in the nighttime.
City light painted girl
Refers to the allure of the city's artificial and enticing aspects.
In the day nothing matters
During the day, nothing holds significance or importance.
It's the night time that flatters
Nighttime brings out flattering or appealing elements.
In the night, no control
Suggests a lack of restraint or inhibition during the night.
Through the wall something's breaking
Implies a disturbance or a breaking of barriers.
Wearing white as you're walkin'
Describes someone wearing white, possibly symbolizing purity or innocence, walking.
Down the street of my soul
Metaphorically refers to the depth of one's inner being or soul.
You take myself, you take my self control
Someone else's influence over the speaker, affecting their self-control.
You got me livin' only for the night
The speaker's focus and life revolve around nighttime activities.
Before the morning comes, the story's told
Before daybreak, events or experiences are concluded.
You take myself, you take my self control
Reiterates the impact of someone on the speaker's self-control.
Another night, another day goes by
Time passing without introspection or questioning.
I never stop myself to wonder why
Avoiding contemplation or curiosity about circumstances.
You help me to forget to play my role
Someone aids in forgetting responsibilities or one's designated role.
You take myself, you take my self control
Reiterates the impact on self-control by another person.
I, I live among the creatures of the night
Identifies with the night-dwellers, feeling a sense of belonging.
I haven't got the will to try and fight
A lack of determination to confront challenges or difficulties.
Against a new tomorrow, so I guess I'll just believe it
Resigned acceptance of an uncertain future.
That tomorrow never comes
Doubtful about the arrival of a different or better time.
A safe night, I'm living in the forest of my dream
Metaphorically living in a dreamlike state during the night.
I know the night is not as it would seem
Recognizing that appearances can be deceiving at night.
I must believe in something, so I'll make myself believe it
Choosing to believe in something for comfort or assurance.
That this night will never go
Desiring for the current night to prolong indefinitely.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Repetitive vocalization, emphasizing the feeling or emotion conveyed.
Oh, oh, oh (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Continuation of the emphasized vocalization.
Oh, the night is my world
A repetition of the sentiment about nighttime being the speaker's world.
City light painted girl
Repeats the imagery of a city at night.
In the day nothing matters
Restates the insignificance of daytime.
It's the night time that flatters
Highlights the attractiveness of the nighttime.
I, I live among the creatures of the night
Reiteration of the speaker's association with nocturnal beings.
I haven't got the will to try and fight
Echoes the lack of will to confront a new day's challenges.
Against a new tomorrow, so I guess I'll just believe it
A repetition of believing in an uncertain future.
That tomorrow never knows
Expresses uncertainty about the future's revelations.
A safe night, I'm living in the forest of a dream
Reiteration of living in a dreamlike state during the night.
I know the night is not as it would seem
Reaffirms the deceptive nature of the night.
I must believe in something, so I'll make myself believe it
Stressing the importance of believing in something for comfort.
That this night will never go
Desire for the current night to persist.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Emphasizes the emotional impact of losing self-control.
You take myself, you take my self control
Continued repetition emphasizing the loss of self-control.
You take myself, you take my self control
-You take myself, you take my self control
-You take myself, you take my self control
-You take myself, you take my self control
-You take myself, you take my self control
-You take myself, you take my self control
-You take myself, you take my self control
-You take myself, you take my self control
-You take myself, you take my self control
