白天不懂夜的黑
那英 Lyrics

The lyrics to 那英’s song “白天不懂夜的黑” describe a relationship between two people who struggle to understand each other. The first stanza suggests that this relationship is one without the right to possess each other. They only overlap for a brief moment during the dawn before they go their separate ways. This reinforces the idea that they are two different worlds. The second stanza expresses the frustration that they can never quite understand each other’s world. Despite this, they both remain steadfast in their original position, never quite moving from where they began. The last verse repeats the earlier sentiment about the difficulty of understanding each other, comparing it to the day not understanding the night.

The song seems to be about the impossibility of truly understanding another person's perspective regardless of the effort made to see things from their point of view. The singer is lamenting the fact that two people can still remain so far apart despite having spent so much time together. It's a song about unfulfilled expectations and how hope can be turned into disappointment when the person you're trying to connect with just doesn't get it.
