The Nights
Avicii - The Nights 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 heart 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 heart 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
My father told me
The song, "The Nights" by Avicii, is about the memories that we make in our youth and the lessons we learn along the way. The lyrics paint a picture of a young child being taught by his father about the importance of living a life worth remembering. The father emphasizes the beauty of our youth and the memories that we make, telling his child to never let these moments slip away. The lyrics showcase the idea of living life to the fullest, not being afraid to take risks, and creating memories that will be cherished forever.
The lyrics of the chorus are particularly poignant, with the father telling his child that "one day, you'll leave this world behind, so live a life you will remember." This line is a reminder that we should make the most of the time we have and not take a single moment for granted. The father tells his child that these are the nights that never die, a testament to the enduring power of the memories we create.
The song is a beautiful tribute to the important lessons that parents impart to their children. It’s also a reminder that we all have a responsibility to make the most of our time on this earth and make memories that we will treasure for the rest of our lives.

Hey, once upon a younger year
Back in the days of youth
When all our shadows disappeared
When we didn't have any worries or responsibilities holding us down
The animals inside came out to play
We let our true selves out to have fun

When we confronted our anxieties head on
Learned our lessons through the tears
We gained wisdom from our mistakes, often making painful errors along the way
Made memories we knew would never fade
We created moments that would always stay with us
One day my father, he told me
My dad once shared some wise words with me
"Son, don't let it slip away"
Don't let life pass you by without truly living it
He took me in his arms, I heard him say

As time passes
Your wild heart will live for younger days
You'll crave the freedom and energy of your youth

My father told me when I was just a child
My dad gave me this advice when I was young
These are the nights that never die
These are the moments you'll always hold dear in your heart
When thunder clouds start pouring down
When life gets hard and obstacles arise
Light a fire they can't put out
Stay motivated and passionate despite the setbacks
Carve your name into those shinning stars
Make your mark in the world and leave your legacy

Don't limit yourself to a narrow worldview
Don't forsake this life of yours
Don't waste the chance you have to live fully
I'll guide you home no matter where you are"
I'll be there for you through thick and thin
These are the nights that never die
These are the unforgettable moments that you'll always cherish

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,
