The Knife Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All new evening
You woke up yesterday
Now I love you

All new evening
You woke up yesterday
Now I love you

We've been waiting so long
Then you woke up
Don't waste time now
There's so much to catch up

We've been waiting so long
Then you woke up
Don't waste time now
There's so much to catch up

All new evening
You woke up yesterday
Now I love you

All new evening
You woke up yesterday
Now I love you

We've been waiting so long
Then you woke up
Don't waste time now
There's so much to catch up

We've been waiting so long
Then you woke up
Don't waste time now
There's so much to catch up

Now I love you

All new evening
You woke up yesterday
Now I love you

Overall Meaning

The Knife's song New Year's Eve is a beautiful and reflective piece that deals with the concept of time and how it relates to love. The song has a repetitive and hypnotic quality that is both calming and introspective. The first two lines of the song, "All new evening, You woke up yesterday," set the tone for the listener, conveying a sense of hope and renewal. The singer is addressing someone they love, telling them that the arrival of the new year has awakened them to a new sense of possibility and rekindled their love.


The lines, "We've been waiting so long, then you woke up," speak to a sense of time lost or wasted, and the urgency to make up for lost opportunities. The singer urges their loved one not to waste any more time, but to embrace the new beginning and all the possibilities that come with it. The repetition of the phrase "All new evening" reinforces the idea of a fresh start, and the line "Now I love you" brings it full circle, cementing the idea that the awakening of a new day has sparked a new sense of love and appreciation.


Overall, The Knife's New Year's Eve is a beautiful and introspective song that encourages the listener to reflect on the passing of time, the importance of seizing opportunities, and the potential for renewal and love.

All new evening
A unique and fresh night has begun


You woke up yesterday
You have finally become aware and present


Now I love you
With this newfound awareness, my love for you has grown


We've been waiting so long
We have been longing for this moment of waking up


Then you woke up
And finally, you became aware


Don't waste time now
Let's not squander this precious moment


There's so much to catch up
There is a lot to do and experience now that we are present

I just got it in the mail last week. I love it. It's incredible. My favorite is 'This is now' but the different version than the one on Deep Cuts. It gives me a sense of complete harmony with nature. The Daoists themselves would be envious.

I'm just realising that I don't have this and have never heard it, although I obsessively play The Knife! Gotta fix that!

I read and listen to many many things and Silent Shouts is an epic opera of dark winter tundra expanding across a frozen sea, listening to it makes me feel like I'm lost on the ice listening to the voices in the cold wind wispering to me as wolves baye softly in the distance.

I love The Knife! They've got some awesome songs! This one's pretty cool... I really like their Deep Cuts album and Silent Shout is awesome too!
