Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
this night
and hold me here
till morning takes my eyes
name
yeah it's on
and hold my voice till silence
takes it down
all these lies
i've been telling stories
all my life
hey
let me ease your mind
a grown man could not find
and i told you there was nothing i had to hide
this house is dark
nothing moves inside
name
this night
and hold me here
The lyrics to Family Band's "Night Song" are both haunting and intimate. The singer is addressing someone, asking them to name this night and hold him until morning takes his eyes. It's unclear whether this is a lover or a friend, but they seem to have a close relationship. The singer asks them to hold his voice until silence takes it down, which could mean that they are afraid of saying something they shouldn't.
Throughout the song, the singer seems to be confessing to things they've done wrong. They want to break all the lies they've been telling stories about all their life. They want to ease their friend's mind, perhaps because they feel guilty for withholding the truth. The second verse continues this theme, with the singer saying that a grown man couldn't find what they've been hiding. They reassure their friend that they don't have anything to hide.

Name
This night
And hold me here
Till morning takes my eyes
Name
This song
And hold my voice till silence
Takes it down
And break
All these lies

Nothing moves inside

Listening to this song at full volume with headphones makes me feel so many emotions. It hits different. I'm kinda sad that I'm just now finding out about this song 11 years later
