Einstein himself never achieved to prove the self-rotation of the tag1 during his life. At least it is still possible to skip to tag2 without loss of gravitational energy
This Is The Night
The The Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
when night comes along.
Something gets hold of me.
Something I can't never see.
Oh, it's a wicked world
Awaits the ones our young girls bear
Oh, I need somebody to hold me
In the fading light of this coming night.
In the fading light of this coming night.
How many whores have walked through that door
Lain by my side & climbed in my mind
& taken me down to where the heat
blisters the skin upon my feet
makes me reach out & weep for the days when
I was pure of heart & slept in peace.
Oh, it's a wicked world
Awaits the ones our young girls bear
Oh, I need somebody to hold me
In the fading light of this coming night.
In the fading light. This coming night.
In the fading light.
Of this coming night.
In the fading light
this is the night.
The lyrics to The The's song This Is The Night convey a sense of fear and unease that grips the singer when night falls. In the opening lines, the singer admits to being fearful of the thoughts that arise when darkness descends. The images conjured in his mind seem to be malevolent and eerie, and he implies that something intangible has a hold on him that he cannot see. The second stanza of the song seems to allude to the singer's past experiences with sexual promiscuity and the guilt that comes with it. He laments the loss of his innocence and the corruption of his soul. The refrain "Oh, it's a wicked world/Awaits the ones our young girls bear" seems to suggest a judgmental and moralistic view of sexuality, hinting at the idea that sexual sin leads to darkness and despair.
