Twilight
Abbott Hayes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We're few and far between

We're every sound that breaks your sleep

Along the hallway walls we creep

Close enough to catch you
Just enough to take you away



I know you salt your bedside

I know where you sleep and at what time

The quick and the uninvited kind

Close enogh to catch you

Just enough to fly you away



Just to float along

A ghost I wish to be

Just to float along

Between the devil and the deep blue sea

Just to float along

A ghost I wish to be

Just to float along

Between the devil and the deep blue sea



As we attempt to ascend the sky

As we attempt to ascend

As we attempt to ascend the sky

Flying by night and onto the heavens

As we attempt to ascend the sky

As we attempt to ascend

As we attempt to ascend the sky

Flying by night and onto



I'm just your favorite nightmare

I just killed all your dreams

Hovering by your bedside

I've been waiting

I'm just your favorite nightmare

I just took over your dreams

I just took over your whole life

I've been waiting



Just to float along

A ghost I wish to be

Just to float along

Between the devil and the deep blue sea

Just to float along

A ghost I wish to be

Just to float along

Between the devil and the deep blue sea



As we attempt to ascend the sky

As we attempt to ascend

As we attempt to ascend the sky

Flying by night and onto the heavens

As we attempt to ascend the sky

As we attempt to ascend

As we attempt to ascend the sky

Flying by night and onto



Just to float along

A ghost I wish to be

Just to float along

Between the devil and the deep blue sea



On the winds back I ride

The gust is strong and it's solid

As I glide through the night

through the clouds and the forests

I'm cast from the light

and thrown as shadows on the wall

My first name is silence

but through the darkness I call

Don't lie awake

Close your eyes

Calm your breathing

With the next breath you take

Take me in and take it easy

In your veins I will stay

As I flow through your chest

You know the first name

The last name's relentless





Come hell or high water

Overall Meaning

The song "Twilight" by Abbott Hayes is an eerie and haunting track that paints a picture of a supernatural being that is out to haunt its victim's dreams. The lyrics are filled with menacing and threatening tones that suggest the singer is close enough to catch the victim and take them away. The opening lines, "We're few and far between, we're every sound that breaks your sleep," imply that the singer is not alone in their pursuit of the victim, instead, they have a group.


The verse "I'm just your favorite nightmare, I just killed all your dreams" further confirms the singer's intention to terrorize the victim. The singer is portrayed as an entity that has taken over the victim's life and dreams. The chorus, "Just to float along, a ghost I wish to be, between the devil and the deep blue sea," provides an insight into the singer's fear of being caught while they haunt the victim's dream.


As the song progresses, the singer starts to assume a more supernatural form. The lines "On the wind's back, I ride, the gust is strong, and it's solid, as I glide through the night, through the clouds and the forests" depict the singer's effortless and ethereal movement through space. They are not bound by human limitations but instead can traverse the skies and terrains with ease, seeking their victim.


Overall, "Twilight" is a musical masterpiece that delves into the fear of the unknown and the supernatural. It is a beautifully crafted track that combines haunting lyrics, melody, and vocal harmonies to create a chilling composition.

Shut your eyes

Relax your breathing

The last name is determined and unstoppable


Come hell or high water
No matter what happens
