Nights In White Satin
Glenn Hughes & Chad Smith Lyrics

Nights in white satin
Describing a time or a phase in his life that feels pure, innocent and ethereal, almost dreamlike.

Never reaching the end
This idyllic period doesn't seem to have a definite ending, perhaps creating an illusion of timelessness.

Letters I've written
He has expressed his thoughts and feelings through written words, perhaps as a form of self-reflection or communication with others.

Never meaning to send
These letters were never meant to be read or shared with anyone, perhaps due to their personal nature or the fear of vulnerability.

Beauty I'd always missed
He has failed to recognize or appreciate certain aspects of life or himself in the past, perhaps due to a lack of awareness or maturity.

With these eyes before
This newfound perception of beauty is something he hasn't experienced or realized until now, emphasizing the idea of growth and change.

Just what the truth is
He's unsure of what's real or true, perhaps struggling with internal conflicts, doubts or uncertainties.

I can't say anymore
He's unable to articulate or explain his thoughts and feelings, perhaps due to their complexity, intensity or personal nature.

Cuz I love you
This love is an overarching theme and motivation behind his thoughts and actions, driving him to explore, discover and express himself.

Gazing at people
Observing or noticing other people around him, perhaps feeling detached, curious or envious.

Some hand in hand
Seeing couples or people in relationships, highlighting the theme of love and companionship that's prevalent in this song.

Just what I'm going thru
He's uncertain or confused about his own emotions, desires or expectations, perhaps looking for answers or insights from others.

I can't understand
He's unable to comprehend or relate to certain experiences or situations, perhaps feeling isolated or disconnected from others.

Some try to tell me
Others are trying to communicate or advise him, perhaps sharing their own perspectives or experiences.

Thoughts they cannot defend
These opinions or ideas lack substance, logic or validity, perhaps revealing the limitations of human understanding or communication.

Just what you want to be
You have control over your own destiny, identity or character, encouraging individualism, self-expression and authenticity.

You will be in the end
Your choices, actions and values will shape who you become and what you achieve in life, emphasizing the theme of personal growth and development.

Oh, how, I love you
This love is overwhelming, intense and genuine, evoking strong emotions and desires.

I love you
This phrase is a repetition and affirmation of his love, emphasizing its significance and sincerity.

Oh, I love you
This line reinforces the idea of love as a central theme, emphasizing its emotional and poetic qualities.

I really do
This is a final confirmation and assurance of his love, perhaps addressing doubts, misunderstandings or insecurities.
