The Nights
Avicii Ft. Ras 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

He tells his son that the wild heart he has will always be there, and to always remember him when he faces difficulties in life. The father advises his son to make the most of his life as he never knows when it will end.
The second verse of the song talks about the father telling the son to conquer the world and to explore the unknown. He tells his son to carve his name in the stars and explore far beyond the shores. He also reminds him to never forget the life he has been given and to make the most of it.
Overall, "The Nights" teaches listeners to live life to the fullest, to take risks, to explore the world, and to never forget the valuable lessons taught by parents.

Hey, once upon a younger year
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,
"Son, don't let it slip away"
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
