Into The Night
Cardiknox Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

There were days where all I thought about
Was how you chewed me up and spit me out
When I felt your shifting shoulder blades
In the dark, I layed there wide awake

I'm thinking that, baby
I remember everything that you forgot to say to me
Left me feeling blue

I'm thinking that, baby
I was looking for a little something that could save me
But it wasn't you

I turn my phone to silent
I catch a train and ride it
Into the night, into the night, into the night I go
I'm flying like a night hawk
I dance along the sidewalk
Into the night, into the night, into the night I go

My feet move forward through the black
Memories still try to pull me back
2 years of standing in the rain
Now I am free to break the chain

I'm thinking that, baby
I was looking for a little something that could save me
But it wasn't you

I turn my phone to silent
I catch a train and ride it
Into the night, into the night, into the night I go
I'm flying like a night hawk
I dance along the sidewalk
Into the night, into the night, into the night I go

I've never felt so alive
I'm running into the night
I've never felt so alive
I'm running into the night

Baby, I remember everything that you forgot to say to me
Left me feeling, left me feeling blue
I'm thinking that, baby
I was looking for a little something that could save me
But it wasn't, boy, it wasn't you

I turn my phone to silent
I catch a train and ride it
Into the night, into the night, into the night I go
I'm flying like a night hawk
I dance along the sidewalk
Into the night, into the night, into the night I go

I've never felt so alive
I'm running into the night

I've never felt so alive
I'm running into the night

Line by Line Meaning

There were days where all I thought about
I spent days thinking about you

Was how you chewed me up and spit me out
You hurt me badly and left me feeling broken

When I felt your shifting shoulder blades
I sensed you trying to distance yourself from me

In the dark, I layed there wide awake
I couldn't sleep because I was consumed by my thoughts of you

I'm thinking that, baby
I realize now

I remember everything that you forgot to say to me
I remember everything you didn't tell me

Left me feeling blue
You made me feel sad and down

I was looking for a little something that could save me
I wanted someone or something to rescue me from my pain

But it wasn't you
But you couldn't be that person for me

I turn my phone to silent
I silence my phone

I catch a train and ride it
I board a train and ride it

Into the night, into the night, into the night I go
I venture into the darkness of the night

I'm flying like a night hawk
I'm moving quickly and freely like a night bird

I dance along the sidewalk
I enjoy my freedom while walking on the sidewalk

My feet move forward through the black
I walk through the darkness

Memories still try to pull me back
I still have memories of you that try to hold me back

2 years of standing in the rain
For two years I suffered with you

Now I am free to break the chain
Now I am free to move on from you

I've never felt so alive
I've never felt so free and full of life

I'm running into the night
I'm moving forward into a new life without you

But it wasn't, boy, it wasn't you
But you couldn't be that person for me, oh boy
