Days Turn Into Nights
Delerium Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

One by one the days turn into nights
I pretend you're still with me and all is right
Wake up to the dawn
This spinning sphere we're standing on
One by one the days turn into nights
Into night

One by one the days turn into nights
Sky and sea collide like cosmic city lights
Wake up to the dawn
This spinning sphere we're standing on
One by one the days turn into nights
Into night

You don't have to be alone anymore

(Itґs just a dream)

Ready or not there goes the sun
Another day over and done
Ready or not there goes the sun
Another day what have I done





You don't have to be alone anymore

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Delerium's song "Days Turn Into Nights" convey a sense of longing and nostalgia, as the singer reflects on the passage of time and the absence of a loved one. The repetition of "one by one" emphasizes the inevitability of this progression, and the imagery of "sky and sea collide like cosmic city lights" evokes a sense of awe and wonder at the natural world. Despite the apparent beauty of the world around them, however, the singer is still left feeling incomplete without the presence of their loved one. The line "I pretend you're still with me and all is right" suggests a sense of denial or wishful thinking, as the singer struggles to come to terms with the reality of their situation.


The chorus, with its repetition of "you don't have to be alone anymore," is a more hopeful note, suggesting that the singer may be reaching out to their loved one in some way. The final lines, "Ready or not there goes the sun / Another day what have I done," suggest a sense of regret or uncertainty on the part of the singer - perhaps reflecting on the choices they have made and the path their life has taken. Overall, "Days Turn Into Nights" is a haunting and melancholy reflection on the passage of time and the complexity of human emotions.

It is a great video. To Daniel Li, it's called contemporary dance, and we were simply asked to improvise in a certain way. All of us artists just did our best to interpret what the director wanted. It was a lot of fun.

@czechraiser

The dance is perfect. I use it to show dancer friends what I wish I could do.

The Music Box Opera is just about the perfect album!

+Ian Nicholls MBO was by far the most complete album top-to-bottom. Every other had some amazing highs, but also some that clearly fell into the "fill" category. MBO has very little fill, and Hammer is my favorite Delerium song of all time.

@IsharaSilverhand

Thank you Delerium for making such amazing music. Please continue this incredible journey that you are taking us on. I for one want to be a part of it. Thank you , thank you!!!
