Night & Day
Chief Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But my heart don't
It don't feel right
And you took, took, took me for all I've got
Now I'm a poor man
Completely lost
And you stop, stop shaking when you get old
What you've come to be
And it's hard, it's hard to break your bond
How much more can send
You back home again
Take me away, I don't care what the place
I just can't see your face
Every night and day
When you appear I know I won't be here
I just can't live in fear
Every night and day
So I walk down to the shore
And say the same
The same thing that you said before
And I don't care If I lose my mind
Oh you come to me
I still need to breathe, and I say
Take me away, I don't care what the place
I just can't see your face
Every night and day
When you appear I know I won't be here
I just can't live in fear
Every night and day
Take me away, I don't care what the place
I just can't see your face
Every night and day
When you appear I know I won't be here
I just can't live in fear
Every night and day
In the song Night & Day, Chief sings about a love that is no longer fulfilling and a relationship that has brought him down both emotionally and financially. The lyrics suggest that he sees this person all the time but his heart doesn't feel right. He feels like he's been taken advantage of by this person and has lost everything he had. There's a sense of desperation in the lyrics as he struggles to break away from this person, mentioning how hard it is to break that bond they have. He wants to be taken away from this situation and not have to see the person's face every night and day. However, he still needs to breathe and find a way to move forward from this toxic relationship.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Take me away, I don't care what the place" which emphasizes the need for escape and a fresh start. Chief seems to be at his wit's end and ready for a change. He also mentions going to the shore and saying the same thing the person said before. It's unclear whether this means that he's repeating things that the person has said to him or if he's talking to the person at the shore. Regardless, there's a sense of desperation and a desire to move on from this situation.
Overall, the song has a melancholic tone and portrays the struggles of a relationship that has gone sour. The lyrics suggest a difficult journey towards healing and finding the strength to move on.

I see, see, see you about every night
I constantly see you every night
But my heart don't
It don't feel right
But my heart doesn't feel right about it
And you took, took, took me for all I've got
Now I'm a poor man
Completely lost
You took everything I had and now I'm left with nothing, lost and broke
And you stop, stop shaking when you get old
Oh I cannot see
What you've come to be
You used to be lively, but now you're old, and I don't recognize who you are now
And it's hard, it's hard to break your bond
How much more can send
You back home again
Breaking our bond is difficult, but how much more will it take for you to leave me alone?
Take me away, I don't care what the place
I just can't see your face
Every night and day
When you appear I know I won't be here
I just can't live in fear
Every night and day
I can't stand to be with you anymore, just take me away to any place where I won't have to see you anymore. I can't live in this constant fear every night and day
So I walk down to the shore
And say the same
The same thing that you said before
And I don't care If I lose my mind
Oh you come to me
I still need to breathe, and I say
I go down to the shore and repeat the same words you once said to me. Even if I lose my mind, I still need to breathe, and I tell myself this
