Stole the Night
Howling Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In the still of the night
I hear the wolf howl, honey
Sniffing around your door
In the still of the night
I feel my heart beating heavy
Telling me I gotta have more

In the shadow of night
I see the full moon rise
Telling me what's in store,
My heart start aching
My body start a shaking
And I can't take no more, no, no

Now I just want to get close to you
An' taste your love so sweet
And I just want to make love to you
Feel your body heat

In the still of the night
In the still of the night
Over here baby

In the heat of the day
I hang my head down low
And hide my face from the sun
Through the light of the day
Until the evening time
I'm waiting for the night to come

In the still of the night,
In the cool moonlight,
I feel heart is aching
In the still of the night

Tell me here baby

In the still of the night
I hear the wolf howl, honey
Sniffing around your door
In the still of the night
I feel my heart beating heavy
Telling me I gotta have more.

Now I just want to get close to you
An' taste your love so sweet
And I just want to make love to you
Feel your body heat.

In the still of the night

Still of the night,




Still of the night,
Still of the night.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Howling's song "Stole the Night" perfectly encapsulate the hypnotic, trance-like quality of the song's melody. The repeated emphasis on the stillness of the night, and the animalistic instincts that arise during this time, create a powerful atmosphere that is both alluring and chilling. The metaphorical comparison between the singer and a wolf only serves to heighten this sense of primal desire and danger.


The opening lines of the song, "In the still of the night / I hear the wolf howl, honey / Sniffing around your door," introduce the central motif of the song: the wolf as a symbol of the singer's wild, untamed desire. As the song progresses, this imagery is reinforced by references to the full moon, which is traditionally associated with heightened emotional states, and to the aching in the singer's heart and body.


The chorus of the song reinforces this sense of longing and animalistic lust, with its repeated insistence that the singer wants to "get close" to their lover and feel their "body heat." The overall effect of the song is one of intense, almost otherworldly desire, underscored by the strong vocals and driving beat of the music.

Bound by love, we dressed the fire
Twelve undone
We stole the night
Heaven

Runaway lips move, I'm just your style
I'm pure for you, you reach inside
Heaven; heaven

Three five two
We fleshed it out
Feeling bad, our skin underground
Heaven; heaven
I'm
We stole the night
We stole the night
We stole the night

We stole the night (Heaven)
We stole the night (Heaven)
We stole the night (Heaven)
We stole the night (Heaven)
