Victims of the Night
Halloween Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

"Sometimes the music business and being on the road can suck the
life out of you. It's a double edge sword. It's a life you sometimes
hate to love and love to hate. But you wouldn't trade it for anything.
The fans keep you going."

Can you feel the fire in my veins, there's hunger in my heart
There's a raging battle in my mind, it's almost torn apart
I've got no hesitations, I'd do it all again
This is the life I've chosen, we love to feel the pain of the night

It's time to rock once more, we're victims of the night
On a deadly metal tour

So this is what you wanted, I'm screaming out for you
I love the way you look at me, you know I want you too
The life I lead could break me, could take me under
I know you're out there waiting, for the thunder of the night

And like the thunders roar, we're victims of the night
Coming through your door...(and here we come!)

Do you know what I'm feeling, does anyone really care
My open wounds are bleeding, for all of you who stare
So now I've come to scare you, tease you, make you need
Feel my empty heart beat, a man destroyed by greed
A victim of the night...

And who knows what's in store, for victims of the night




And I can't take no more... No!
We are victims... we are victims... of the... night

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Halloween’s song Victims of the Night may seem at first glance to be about the life of a musician on tour, but it is much deeper than that. The lines β€œCan you feel the fire in my veins, there's hunger in my heart” and β€œI've got no hesitations, I'd do it all again” show the immense passion and drive that the singer has for music. Even though the lifestyle can be draining, they wouldn’t trade it for anything. They love feeling the pain and energy of the night, which is a clear nod to the powerful emotions that come with music.


However, there is also a theme of vulnerability and the difficulties that come from being a public figure. β€œDo you know what I'm feeling, does anyone really care/My open wounds are bleeding, for all of you who stare” is a poignant reflection on the pressure that comes from performing in front of an audience. This is then contrasted with the chorus, where the singer is proud to be a victim of the night, which seems to suggest that they find escape and solace in their art. Ultimately, this song is about the complex relationship between a musician and their career, and how it can be both uplifting and destructive.
