The Nights
Avicii (BY @ello-) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When all our shadows disappeared
The animals inside came out to play
Hey, when face to face with all our fears
Learned our lessons through the tears
Made memories we knew would never fade
One day my father—he told me,
He took me in his arms, I heard him say,
"When you get older
Your wild life will live for younger days
Think of me if ever you're afraid."
He said, "One day you'll leave this world behind
So live a life you will remember."
My father told me when I was just a child
These are the nights that never die
My father told me
When thunder clouds start pouring down
Light a fire they can't put out
Carve your name into those shinning stars
He said, "Go venture far beyond the shores.
Don't forsake this life of yours.
I'll guide you home no matter where you are."
One day my father—he told me,
"Son, don't let it slip away."
When I was just a kid I heard him say,
"When you get older
Your wild life will live for younger days
Think of me if ever you're afraid."
He said, "One day you'll leave this world behind
So live a life you will remember."
My father told me when I was just a child
These are the nights that never die
My father told me
These are the nights that never die
My father told me

Hey, once upon a younger year
Back in the past, during a time when I was younger
When all our shadows disappeared
When we were carefree and didn't worry about our problems
The animals inside came out to play
Our inner child surfaced and we had fun

When we were confronted with our fears
Learned our lessons through the tears
We gained knowledge through our struggles and hardships
Made memories we knew would never fade
We created unforgettable experiences
One day my father—he told me,
At some point, my father gave me advice
"Son, don't let it slip away"
Don't let life pass you by

Carve your name into those shining stars

Take risks and explore new possibilities
Don't forsake this life of yours.
Don't give up on your own life
