Night by Candlelight
Soul-searching Revelations: Night by Candlelight
Lyrics
Repeat these words
Encouraging repetition of certain words
After me
Asking the listener to follow the speaker's lead
In all honesty
Emphasizing sincerity or truthfulness
Repeat these words
Repeating specific words for emphasis
After me
Encouraging the listener to repeat after the speaker
If you dare to believe this
Challenging the listener's belief in something
Yourself
Encouraging self-reflection and belief
Am I vain? have I shame?
Questioning one's vanity and shame
Are my thoughts of a man
Questioning the sanity of the speaker
Who can call himself sane?
Raising doubt about the speaker's mental state
Do I blame, all my pain
Questioning whether the speaker blames others for their pain
On the wickedness
Referring to the wicked actions the speaker has orchestrated
I have arranged?
Reflecting on the consequences of the speaker's arrangements
If I do, bring it down
Expressing a willingness to face the consequences
Repeat these words
Repeating certain words for emphasis
After me
Asking for honest repetition
In all honesty
Emphasizing sincerity or truthfulness
Repeat these words
Repeating specific words for emphasis
After me
Encouraging the listener to repeat after the speaker
If you dare to believe this
Challenging the listener's belief in something
Yourself
Encouraging self-reflection and belief
Am I vain? have I shame?
Questioning one's vanity and shame
Are my thoughts of a man
Questioning the sanity of the speaker
Who can call himself sane?
Raising doubt about the speaker's mental state
Is my fate, all the same
Questioning whether the speaker's fate is predetermined
As the man who has
Comparing the speaker's fate to someone who walked a straight line
Walked the line straight
Reflecting on a disciplined life
If it is, bring it down
Expressing a willingness to face the consequences if fate is the same
And I, I must rely, my dear
Stating the speaker's reliance on someone dear
And I, cannot deny, my dear
Acknowledging the inability to deny something
There will be a reckoning
Referring to an impending judgment or consequence
Which was, is
Highlighting the continuous nature of the reckoning
And is to come
Referencing a timeless and inevitable reckoning
Repeat these words
Repeating certain words for emphasis
After me
Asking for honest repetition
In all honesty
Emphasizing sincerity or truthfulness
Repeat these words
Repeating specific words for emphasis
After me
Encouraging the listener to repeat after the speaker
If you dare
Challenging the listener to believe in something
To believe
Encouraging the listener to dare to believe
