one night
Deine Lakaien Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In fleeting colours
In missing hours
On days that fall
Like leaves in autumn
And blown around
And left unspoken
That made me restless
And anxious wandering
And words that fall
Into the deepness
Of my yearning
And left unsaid
One night one night
I had a dream
A wave came floating
Like a gleam
One day one day
All I've seen will come true
'cause night and day
I'm in love with you
Times I recall
Close to your breath
The sweet caress
The joy that falls
Into the blindness
Of my heart
And left unspoken
Times I recall
Few moments of care
Maybe unaware
And I did not fall
Remained in elation
And left my darkness
And left unsaid
One night one night
I had a dream
A wave came floating
Like a gleam
One day one day
All I've seen will come true
'cause night and day
I'm in love with you
The lyrics of Deine Lakaien's song, "One Night," speak of memories and emotions that the singer recalls from different times in their life. These memories are described as fleeting and missing hours, and they are associated with falling leaves in autumn. The words unspoken and left unsaid signify that there are things the singer wished they had said or done, particularly during moments of restlessness, anxiety, yearning, and blindness of the heart. However, there are also moments that bring joy and a sweet caress into the singer's life, allowing them to escape their darkness and elation.
The chorus of the song describes a dream that the singer had, where a wave came floating like a gleam, representing hope and a brighter future. The singer's belief that all they have seen will come true one day is tied to their love for someone, as referenced in the last line of the chorus "cause night and day, I'm in love with you."
The song's lyrics evoke emotions of nostalgia, regret, hope, and love, making it relatable to anyone who has experienced similar feelings. The melody of the song is mellow and melancholic, adding to the contemplative mood of the lyrics.

Times I recall
Revisiting memories
In fleeting colours
Recalling moments that were brief
In missing hours
Remembering things that were forgotten
On days that fall
Memories triggered by the passage of time
Like leaves in autumn
Memories that fall away like leaves in autumn
And blown around
Memories that are scattered and disordered
And left unspoken
Memories that were not expressed
That made me restless
Memories that cause anxiety
And anxious wandering
Memories that lead to aimless wandering
And words that fall
Words that were not expressed
Into the deepness
Words that evoke strong emotions
Of my yearning
Words that reflect my intense desire
And left unsaid
Words that were not spoken
Close to your breath
Memory of being near to someone
The sweet caress
Feeling of being touched gently
The joy that falls
Feeling of happiness
Into the blindness
Feeling of being overwhelmed with emotion
Of my heart
Feeling that comes from deep within
Few moments of care
Memories of brief moments of kindness
Maybe unaware
Perhaps not realizing the significance of those moments
And I did not fall
Not being consumed by negative emotions
Remained in elation
Feeling of intense joy
One night one night
A dream is recalled
I had a dream
The memory of a dream
A wave came floating
A wave is used as a metaphor for strong emotions
Like a gleam
The feeling of hope or positivity
One day one day
A hope for the future
All I've seen will come true
Dreams and hopes will be realized
'cause night and day
Feelings that persist throughout the day and night
I'm in love with you
The memory of being in love with someone

Langsam kommt die Nacht
Siehst du diese Augen,
diese klaren Augen,
voller Neugier und Verlangen
nach deiner Näh’.
Leise Tage verstreichen,
stille Tränen begleiten
wehmutvolle Gedanken
in ruhelosen Nächten.
Langsam fällt die Nacht
in die Träume meines Schlafs,
und ich lerne zu verstehen
unsere Zeit ist noch fern.
Wo auch immer du bist,
weit fort oder nah bei mir
ich schick’ dir meine Grüße,
aus meinem tristen Sein.
Ich werde dich umstimmen,
niemals innehalten,
komm zu mir in meine Arme,
und umarme meine Sünde. (?)
...........
..........
Friede wird in mir wachsen
wird niemals vergehen,
lichte Farben auf weißem Grund
formen Antlitze, die singen
Lieder guter Söhne.
Werden wir uns lieben,
uns vertragen und bestehen
gegen alle Feindseligkeit’.

Alexander Veljanov's voice instantly pulls me towards something beautiful and calm as soon as he starts singing. May it be... his charisma? Mixed with Ernst Horn's love for harmony and warm tones this is like a dreamy island in a giant sea of dark, dirty water.
@WalrusStalin
Alexander's charisma is something out of this world. I was at Deine Lakaien acoustic concert in Berlin 2019, his appearance on stage looked like some kind of gothic god descended to earth
@absenta87
Such a laconic style - is a pure masterpiece! Great direction! The deepest respect to the whole shooting team and musicians!
@mariawells1874
This is absolutely brilliant
@viva4456
Этот шедевр останется в моем сердце навсегда
@isaacteli
This song makes me feel classy, its darkness, its romanticism, oh my! I'm feeling quite alright. You rock guys! ;)
@DarkyCore

@atrafelis80
einige der wenigen Bands die es live auch wirklich bringen .. diese stimme ist einfach wahnsinn. einfach bewundernswert
@Derdikedas
Leider gibt es immernoch Menschen, die sich nicht mit dieser Musik auseinandersetzten können....diese Menschen tun mir echt leid.... Macht bitte weiter so....denn jedes Album ist eine Schönheit für sich und berührt mich immer wieder !!! Sie begleiten mich schon sooo viele Jahre und ich Danke Euch dafür!!!! Deine Lakaien für immer =)
@GillesSusant
In a way (and still thinking of more haunting songs Alexander and Ernst have given us throughout the years), this still is the best song they ever created.
