At Night
Fallen Angel Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Waking up early, time to go to work
it is another ordinary day
feeling sick, don't wanna go!

Like invisible arms pulling you back to bed
you can hardly resist
thinking back of the night that just has left
remembering a kingdom where you are the king
ended with a beep

No more sweet dreams left for you
nothing but hard work now
every day it is the same
longing back to where you feel best

All the way down to your work
you regret that you left home
and your bed, feeling sad
the more you think of it the more you feel
bad all the time in your thoughts you are back
in that dream that you have left about an hour
ago
soon will reality begin


No more sweet dreams left for you
nothing but hard work now
every day it is the same
longing back to where you feel best

Peaceful slumber
entering nowhere
but reality
at nights your dreams come true

No more problems
only being
in your dream world
at night your dreams come true

Time is crawling seems to never end
you're feeling darkness coming sneaking up on
you
falling back to emptiness
you try to fight it but you are caught
you can't escape from it now
you are deeply involved to keep it away
but now you hear this voice which shouts
your name. Oh, it's your boss!

No more sweet dreams left for you
nothing but hard work now




every day it is the same
longing back to where you feel best

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Fallen Angel's song "At Night" narrate the struggle of waking up early for work and leaving behind the sweet embrace of a dream that felt like a kingdom where the singer was the king. The song starts with the singer waking up early and feeling sick of going to work, he reminisces about the dream where he was happy and felt like the king of his own kingdom. However, he then realizes that he has to leave behind the dream world and face the reality of hard work every day. The more he thinks about the dream, the sadder he gets, and the more he longs to go back to it.


As he goes to work, he starts to regret leaving his bed at home and succumbing to reality. He feels sad and helpless, wishing to go back to his dream world. This dream world, he says, is where he is at peace and all his problems vanish. Time crawls; he feels the darkness of reality approaching him, but he fights it. Unfortunately, it's a losing battle, and he ends up face-to-face with his boss, signaling the start of another unbearably long day.


The message of the song is clear that one should never give up on their dreams, no matter how far away they seem. The singer in the song endures the struggles of everyday life, but at night, he is transported to a place of boundless possibilities where he feels like the king. The song ends with the singer longing for the night, where he can be in his dream world again, where everything feels perfect.
