Night And Day
C.U.E Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like the tick, tick, tick of the eye of the clock
You're standing up against the wall
Like the drip, drip, drip of the rain drops
When the sun shines through
So a voice within me
Keeps revealing you, you
Night and day, you are the one
Only you beneath the moon and under the sun
Whether near to me or far, it's no matter, baby, where you are
I think of you, night and day
Day and night, why is it so
That this longing for you follows wherever I go?
In the roaring traffic gloom in the silence of my lonely room
I think of you, night and day
Night and day, under the hide of me
Though such a hungry yearning, burning inside of me
This torment won't be through 'til you let me spend
My life making love to you, day and night, night and day
Night and day, under the hide of me
Oh, such a hungry yearning, burning, burning inside of me
This torment won't be through 'til you let me spend
My life making love to you, day and night, night and day
Night and day, night and day
Night and day
Night, night, night and day
Night and day, night, night and day
Night and day
Lovers too
Only loving you
I need you baby
Say that you do
Night and day
The song "Night and Day" by C.U.E explores the theme of love and longing for someone who is always on a person's mind, no matter where they are or what they are doing. The first verse creates an image of nightfall in the jungle where a person finds themselves against a wall, just like the slow ticking of the clock and the steady drip of the rain, making them feel both restless and introspective. The second verse, on the other hand, expresses the unyielding love that the individual has for the person they are thinking of day and night. It emphasizes that whether near or far, the person they love will always be on their mind.
As the song progresses, the chorus stresses the sentiment that the individual is always thinking about this person. The lyrics show that they cannot help but think about their love interest whether they are surrounded by the hustle and bustle of traffic, in the stillness of their own home, or under the clear sky. The bridge shows the extent of the love that they have for this person, with the lyrics stating that the yearning to be with them is a constant hunger and that the feeling will not subside until they are together, making love both day and night.
Overall, the song conveys the idea that love is a powerful force that cannot be ignored, and it constantly drives a person to pursue their desires, day or night.
