The Night
Face the Fact Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A night gathering
Of a wizard and a witch
Who know how to let rose petals
fly in the air
At every movements of the hands
An endless dance
Changing at every look
At every breath

Sometimes I see strange things happening in the dark
Images dancing and moving into my eyes
Sometimes I see strange images in the dark
Women I've never seen, women I fall in love with

Until the day will come

And the fear of being discovered with it
By those who can’t make petals fly in the air
By those who are neither wizard nor witch
And can't understand the sounds

And with the night petals fall
To die on the ground
The death of movement
But one among all ends in the lake of our tears
And we who are mirrored so distant see ourselves
Hand in hand

At last wizard and witch




Even at the light of day
Of a day that will be.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of The Night by Face the Fact evoke an atmosphere of mystery and enchantment, where a wizard and a witch come together for a gathering. The imagery of rose petals flying in the air at every motion of their hands creates a spellbinding scene, where they engage in an endless dance that changes with every look and every breath. The singer of the song sees strange things happening in the dark, where he witnesses strange images of women he has never seen before, and somehow falls in love with them.


The fear of being discovered by those who cannot comprehend the world of magic engulfs the wizard and witch, who know that their realm is not for everyone. The night ends with the death of movement, where the petals fall to the ground, but the death of the petals has a symbolic end as they end up in the lake of their tears. The wizard and witch, who are so distant and different from each other, see themselves hand in hand, mirrored in the water's reflection. The song ends with the hope that even at the light of day, they will still be together.
