To The Night
Blume Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Shining tired on the waves
The setting sun;
It's beams, red and bright,
Gently pierce the sea.
It's chariot's descending
The clear western sky;
Night's claiming her right
To rule the world.

Her wings open wide,
Under which we'll mourn and pray,
Will hide our shame;
My dear Guinevere,
In dismal grief we'll find
Full redemption.

A flock of crows,
Approaching noisily,
Stubbornly croaks
Sober words to me:
'That yearning heart of yours!
You fool! What have you done?
Bringer of death,
Your soul's forever lost'.

Her wings open wide,
Under which we'll mourn and pray,
Will hide our shame;
My dear Guinevere,
In dismal grief we'll find
Full redemption.

Night's wings open wide,
Under which we'll mourn and pray,
Will hide our shame;
My dear Guinevere,




In dismal grief we'll find
Full redemption.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "To The Night" by Blume exude themes of sadness, guilt, redemption, and acceptance. The opening lines describe a stunning sunset, with the setting sun's red and bright rays delicately piercing through the sea as the night takes over the world. The lyrics are rife with symbolism, with the sun representing the light and the night symbolizing darkness. As the sun sets, it relinquishes its power to the night, which claims its rule over the world. It seems to suggest that everything must come to an end, and we have to accept the inevitable darkness that follows the light.


The song is also about grief, shame, and redemption. The singer seems to be mourning and praying for something they are ashamed of. The line 'my dear Guinevere' is interesting because it references the legendary queen, who is often portrayed as a tragic character in literature. Her story is marked by scandal and tragedy, culminating in her affair with Lancelot and the eventual downfall of Camelot. It's no surprise, then, that the line 'in dismal grief we'll find full redemption' seems fitting, given the themes of the song.


The flock of crows in the lyrics adds to the dark and melancholic atmosphere of the song. They approach noisily and stubbornly croak sober words, which suggest that the singer's yearning heart has led them astray. The crows call the singer a "bringer of death," and say that they're forever lost. It's an ominous warning that underscores the themes of loss and sadness in the song.
