In The Night
☠The Weeknd Lyrics

All alone she was living
She was living by herself without anybody to support her

In a world without an end or beginning
She was living in a world with no clear start or end

Baby girl was living life for the feeling
She lived a life chasing a feeling, without direction

But I don't mind, I don't mind
The singer is okay with her lifestyle

And all the wrongs she committed
She has made many mistakes

She was numb and she was so co-dependent
She was emotionally detached and overly dependent on others

She was young and all she had was the city
She was young and only had the city to rely on

And I know that she's capable of anything, it's riveting
The singer recognizes her potential for anything amazing

But when you wake up she's always gone, gone, gone
She disappears without a trace upon waking up

In the night she hears him calling
At night, she hears a man calling her name

In the night she's dancing to relieve the pain
To numb her pain, she dances at night

She'll never walk away (I don't think you understand)
She'll never leave, despite the harm it may cause

In the night when she comes crawling
She comes crawling back to him at night

Dollar bills and tears keep falling down her face
She cries while holding money that she earned through her suffering

He sang a song when he did it
The man sang while he performed a cruel act

He was cold and he was so unforgiving
He was cruel and showed no mercy

Now she dances to the song on the minute
She dances to the song which the man sang

Yeah, all the time, all the time
She dances to the song persistently

It makes her weak when she hears it
The song weakens her when she hears it

And it got her on her knees like religion
She is brought to her knees by the song, similar to submitting to a religion

She was young and she was forced to be a woman
She was forced to grow up quickly and be independent

I don't think you understand
The singer thinks the listener doesn't comprehend the situation
