For The Night
Herman Düne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We have coffee, light and candles
For the night
I will show you
What one can do
To make blue skies bright
And lay one leg between my legs
Don't sleep baby
We have coffee, light and candles
For the night
The lyrics of Herman Düne's "For the Night" describe a tender and intimate moment between two people. The singer urges his lover not to sleep, as they have coffee, light, and candles to keep them awake throughout the night. The idea of staying up all night suggests a desire to prolong a moment of closeness and connection, to make the most of this fleeting time together. The coffee, light, and candles create a cozy and inviting atmosphere, and the singer promises to show his lover how to "make blue skies bright." This could be interpreted as a metaphor for brightening up a sad or difficult moment.
The second verse is even more intimate, as the singer invites his lover to lay her head upon his chest and her leg between his legs. This physical closeness is a symbol of trust and comfort, as they share a moment of vulnerability and tenderness. The repetition of the chorus reinforces the idea of staying awake and present in the moment, as they cherish this time together.
Overall, "For the Night" is a song about intimacy, trust, and connection. The simple but evocative lyrics create a vivid picture of a moment of closeness between two people, and the gentle melody and folky instrumentation add to the warmth and intimacy of the song.
