Black Night
Hugo Strasser Lyrics

The lyrics to Hugo Strasser's song "Black Night" express a sense of discomfort and unease with darkness and uncertainty. The repeated line "Black night is not right" suggests a lack of acceptance or comfort with the current state of affairs. The singer's mood is low and they are struggling to see a positive outcome, as evidenced by the line "I don't feel so bright". The statement "I don't care to sit tight" implies an urge to take action and move forward, even if it means encountering new challenges or risks.

The second stanza of the song continues the theme of discomfort with darkness and turbulence. The singer does not want a dark tree or a rough sea, suggesting a desire for stability and security. It is also notable that the singer says "I can't feel, I can't see", which could suggest a sense of numbness or confusion. However, there is a glimmer of hope in the repeated line "Maybe I'll find on the way down the line that I'm free, free to be me". This suggests a possibility for growth and self-discovery, and a potential for finding a more fulfilling path in life.

Overall, the lyrics to "Black Night" seem to express a sense of restlessness and dissatisfaction with the current situation, but also a desire for growth and personal fulfillment.
