I Love the Night
Blue Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't make you love me

I can't make you love me 왜 난 왜 너를
I can't make you love me 왜 난 왜 너를
I can't make you love me 왜 난 왜 너를
사랑하지 않는 너를 사랑한 걸까

많이 죽을 만큼 죽을 만큼 많이 사랑해
속이 시커멓게 시커멓게 속이 새까매
Love you forever
너밖에 없어
어쩔 수 없어

I can't make you love me 왜 난 왜 너를
I can't make you love me 왜 난 왜 너를
I can't make you love me 왜 난 왜 너를
사랑하지 않는 너를 사랑한 걸까

넌 멀리서 바라보는 별 같아
변치 않아 난 늘 미련하니까
I can't make you love me
You're my horizon
Forever

I can't make you love me 왜 난 왜 너를
I can't make you love me 왜 난 왜 너를




I can't make you love me 왜 난 왜 너를
사랑하지 않는 너를 사랑한 걸까

In my head, I thought about y it being kind of Vampire-ish, but my head pictured something else. Buckle up.

So at first the dude just broke up with his girlfriend about a week ago, and he’s super depressed
One day after she comes to visit he walks outside for some air. He sees this bright, bright light and ends up seeing the girl in white. 
They chat for a bit when she says how much she loves the night. Since he lives in the city, he can’t really see the stars that good, so she starts floating and grabs his hand, taking him to the country side and showing him. It blows his mind.
Day after day he meets her at night, and he starts noticing changes. He seems beat up, and everyone notices him seeming tired all the time. He meets her ever night now on, and ends up falling in love with her.
But he’s too obsessed with this girl, he never really realized that the night he saw the bright light he was hit by a car.
When the girlfriend comes to visit him, he is staring in the mirror. His once yellowish hair is now completely white, and he smiling, getting prepared to meet her again.
Then the girlfriend burst through the door as she sees him by the window. She runs towards him, but he jumps, singing at the top of his lungs how he loves the night. He falls, but his soul floats towards the girl in white, and they fly away, as the girlfriend panics looking down at the dead body.

That night her kiss told me it was over
I walked out late into the dark
The misty gloom seems to soak up my sorrow
The further I went on I felt a spreading calm
Then suddenly my eyes were bathed in a light
And the lovely lady in white was by my side
She said "Like me I see you're walking alone
Won't you please stay? " I couldn't look away

She said I love the night
The day is OK and the sun can be fun
But I live to see those rays slip away
I love the night
There's so much I can show and give to you
If you will welcome me tonight
If only you had been there my dear
We could have shared this together

No mortal was meant to know such wonder
One look in the mirror told me so
Come darkness I'll see her again
Yes I'm gonna go 'cause now I know

She said I love the night
The day is OK and the sun can be fun
But I live to see those rays slip away
I love the night
There's so much that I can show and give to you
If you will welcome me tonight
If only you had been there my dear
We could have shared this together



@paulseminara2483

One of the few rock songs that sends shivers.

I love this stanza

"She said I love the night
The day is OK and the sun can be fun
But I live to see those rays slip away
I love the night
There's so much I can show and give to you
If you will welcome me tonight
If only you had been there my dear
We could have shared this together"

No band can make existential horror sound as hauntingly beautiful as Blue Oyster Cult

@thomasposlusny9687

The Edgar Allen Poe of music I sense.

@Randy-gz8eu

Sorry no contest

@thomasposlusny9687

@@user-uv4dp1do9v Who's # 1 to you then? the BOC or Edgar?

@pandapounce

Yes, though "Black Eyes" by David Wirsig comes pretty close.

@thomasposlusny9687

@PandaPounce It could be Peter Benchley's Jaws, black eyes till it sinks it's teeth into you.

One night I was out for a drive in the open hills of Western NY. It was a dark and stormy night with non stop lightning but no rain. This came on the radio. I zoned out lost in the moment, the music cruising the hills with the lightning show ...the entire experience was incredibly mezmirizing. It was beautiful.

@m.scottreeder

I’ll bet that WAS a surreal experience!

@TailgunnerATC

@M. Scott Reeder  it was absolutely incredible. Probably one of the most beautiful moments in my life.

@m.scottreeder

@TailgunnerATC I used to cruise around on Friday and Saturday nights sipping ice cold, smooth refreshing Budweiser beer, and inhaling a green leafy substance while jamming to the Eagles, Bad Company, and most certainly Blue Oyster Cult. During the sunrise one morning, I was taking a female friend home after an all-nighter of cruising. The long version to “Closer To Home (I’m Your Captain)” by Grand Funk Railroad came on. We both became absorbed to the song, she especially. Very cool moment and memory.
