UP ALL NIGHT
D/Wolves Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The day is my enemy, the night my friend,
For I'm always so alone till the day draws to an end,
But when the sun goes down and the moon comes through,
To the monotone of the evening's drone I'm all alone with you.

All through the night,
I delight in your love,
All through the night you're sio close to me!
All through the night,
From a height far above,
You and your love brings me ecstasy!

When dawn comes to waken me,
You're never there at all!
I know you've forsaken me
Till the shadows fall,




But then once again I can dream, I've the right
To be close to you all through the night.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to D/Wolves’ song “Up All Night” capture the feeling of loneliness and yearning for companionship that many people experience. The first verse describes the singer’s preference for the night over the day, as the darkness brings them closer to their unnamed “you.” They are “always so alone” until the night comes, and then they’re “all alone with you” despite the “monotone of the evening’s drone.” This contradictory phrasing could be interpreted as the singer’s conflicting emotions about being alone - on one hand, they crave the comfort of another person’s company, but on the other hand, they still feel isolated from the world around them.


The chorus then highlights the comfort and joy that this person brings to the singer. They “delight in [their] love” all through the night, feeling as though they’re “so close” to them. The singer experiences “ecstasy” from being with their love, which gives the impression that this relationship is highly fulfilling and passionate. However, the second verse introduces a twist - when dawn comes and the night passes, the singer is left alone again. It seems as though their “you” only exists in the nighttime, disappearing when the sun comes up. Despite this, the singer is still hopeful and “can dream” of being close to them again “all through the night.”


Line by Line Meaning

The day is my enemy, the night my friend,
During the day I feel alone and out of place, but at night I find comfort in solitude.


For I'm always so alone till the day draws to an end,
Throughout the day I feel like an outsider and disconnected from everything and everyone.


But when the sun goes down and the moon comes through,
Once the day is over and the night begins, a sense of peace and calmness takes over.


To the monotone of the evening's drone I'm all alone with you.
In the quiet of the night, I find myself lost in thoughts of you.


All through the night,
Throughout the darkness and stillness of the night,


I delight in your love,
I find pure satisfaction and happiness in the thought of your affection.


All through the night you're so close to me!
Even though you're not physically with me, I feel your presence and comfort during the night.


All through the night,
Throughout the entirety of the night,


From a height far above,
As if from a high vantage point,


You and your love brings me ecstasy!
I find complete happiness and satisfaction in the mere thought of your love and presence.


When dawn comes to waken me,
As the morning light breaks through and awakens me,


You're never there at all!
You're not physically present with me during the day.


I know you've forsaken me
I understand that you're not purposely trying to leave me, but rather you have other obligations during the day.


Till the shadows fall,
Until the night comes and the shadows are cast once again,


But then once again I can dream, I've the right
During the night, I'm able to dream and imagine being close to you without hindrance.


To be close to you all through the night.
To feel your presence and love without interruption throughout the entire night.

Lyrics:

Running up
down and round
Playing hide-and-seek with the night
I'm chasing my desire
Letting go of my body and heart

Ever since I caught you in my eyes
I can't stop thinking 'bout you
Cause you're the only thing that I have looked for in my life

For tonight forget who you are
Just come closer to me
So close to me that you can almost feel my heart skip a beat

Ever since you saw me in your life
Can't take your eyes off of me
Give you the moment you'd remember for as long as you live

In the night
Chasing the night
And we are here just wide awake
In the night
Dancing all night
I'm gonna take you far away
(X2)

For tonight forget what you want
Tell me what you really are
Right now the moon is rising
Girl you know is fading away

Ever since you saw me in your life
Can't take your eyes off of me
Give you the sweetness that would follow everywhere you go

In the night
Chasing the night
And we are here just wide awake
In the night
Dancing all night
I'm gonna take you far away
(X2)

What you know is a part of me
What you love's only half of me
And I can never give you all of me
(Dancin' in the night)
I'm dancing in the night
(Love you in the night)
Love you, love you
(Dancing in the night)
I'm dancing in the night
(Love you in the night)
Love you, love you
(I can't stop the night)
I can't stop the night-oooh

In the night
Chasing the night
And we are here just wide awake
In the night
Dancing all night
I'm gonna take you far away
(X2)

(Musical interlude)

In the night
Chasing the night
And we are here just wide awake
In the night
Dancing all night
I'm gonna take you far away

Man, Hatsunetsumiko's been my favorite circle for like 10 years. This is one of my favorites from my absolute favorite album. And for Travis who I've followed for about just as long to cover this? I had to do a doubletake. Holy shit. Made my fucking day.
