Night Changes
Direction One Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Goin' out tonight, changes into something red
Her mother doesn't like that kind of dress
Everything she never had she's showin' off
Drivin' too fast, moon is breakin' through her hair
She's headin' for somethin' that she won't forget
Havin' no regrets is all that she really wants

We're only gettin' older, baby
And I've been thinkin' about it lately
Does it ever drive you crazy
Just how fast the night changes?
Everything that you've ever dreamed of
Disappearing when you wake up
But there's nothing to be afraid of
Even when the night changes
It will never change me and you

Chasing it tonight, doubts are runnin' 'round her head
He's waitin', hides behind a cigarette
Heart is beatin' loud and she doesn't want it to stop
Movin' too fast, moon is lightin' up her skin
She's fallin', doesn't even know it yet
Havin' no regrets is all that she really wants

We're only gettin' older, baby
And I've been thinkin' about it lately
Does it ever drive you crazy
Just how fast the night changes?
Everything that you've ever dreamed of
Disappearing when you wake up
But there's nothing to be afraid of
Even when the night changes
It will never change me and you

Goin' out tonight, changes into something red
Her mother doesn't like that kind of dress
Reminds her of the missin' piece of innocence she lost

We're only gettin' older, baby
And I've been thinkin' about it lately
Does it ever drive you crazy
Just how fast the night changes?
Everything that you've ever dreamed of
Disappearing when you wake up
But there's nothing to be afraid of
Even when the night changes
It will never change, baby




It will never change, baby
It will never change me and you

Overall Meaning

The Direction One’s “Night Changes” appears to be a song about a woman or young girl trying to find excitement or fulfillment in her life, perhaps a longing to be seen or appreciated by someone. The first verse describes her dressing up in something red and speeding towards something that she won't forget and having no regrets. However, the second verse reveals that she's chasing doubts that are running around her head but doesn't want her heart's beating to stop. Interestingly, the line, "He's waiting, hides behind a cigarette," implies that a person who is smoking, perhaps a man, is involved or is the goal.


Moreover, the second verse implies that the woman is hesitant about what will happen in the future, as the line "Everything that you've ever dreamed of disappearing when you wake up" suggests. However, the chorus states that although everything in life is changing and moving forward, the love between two people will remain constant regardless, and continuity is something worth holding onto.


Additionally, the final verse, in which she changes into something red, suggests that there is a lot of pressure around her to fit a certain mold, but she is different from what others expect her to be. The second time the chorus comes around, it emphasizes that the night's changes will never change the two people's relationship, which is perhaps the most important thing to her.
