In The Night
Jasper Dietze feat. Aaron Richards Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In a world without an end or beginning
Baby girl was living life for the feeling
I don't mind, I don't mind
And all the wrongs she committed
She was numb and she was so co-dependent
She was young and all she had was the city
I don't mind, I don't mind
And I know that she's capable of anything, it's riveting
But when you wake up she's always gone, gone, gone
In the night she hears him calling
In the night she's dancing to relieve the pain
She'll never walk away (I don't think you understand)
In the night when she comes crawling
Dollar bills and tears keep falling down her face
She'll never walk away (I don't think you understand)
He sang a song when he did it
He was cold and he was so unforgiving
Now she dances to the song on the minute
All the time, all the time
Uh it made her weak when she hear it
And it got her on her knees like religion
She was young and she was forced to be a woman
All the time, all the time
And I know that she's capable of anything, it's riveting
But when you wake up she's always gone, gone, gone
In the night she hears him calling
In the night she's dancing to relieve the pain
She'll never walk away (I don't think you understand)
In the night when she comes crawling
Dollar bills and tears keep falling down her face
She'll never walk away (I don't think you understand)
Uh, uuhh, uuhh
In the night she hears him calling
In the night she's dancing to relieve the pain
She'll never walk away (I don't think you understand)
In the night when she comes crawling
Dollar bills and tears keep falling down her face
She'll never walk away (I don't think you understand
"In The Night" by Jasper Dietze featuring Aaron Richards is a song about a girl who is living a life of co-dependence, numbness, and pain. She is living in a world without an end or beginning, and her only reason for living is the feeling she gets from dancing. Despite all the wrongs she has committed, she cannot help but keep going back to him, even though he treats her coldly and unforgivingly. She is forced to be a woman, despite being young, and always comes crawling back to him in the night. She dances to relieve the pain, but the dollar bills and tears keep falling down her face.
The lyrics suggest that the girl is trapped in a cycle of dependency and abuse. She is capable of anything, but when she wakes up, he is always gone. The repetition of "I don't mind" implies that the singer is trying to convince themselves that they are okay with the situation, when in reality, they are not. The use of the phrase "in the night" suggests that this is a clandestine affair, something that is hidden from view, which only adds to the feeling of being trapped.
Overall, the lyrics to "In The Night" paint a bleak picture of a woman trapped in an abusive relationship with a man who is cold and unforgiving. The repetition of the phrase "she'll never walk away" is haunting, suggesting that she is doomed to live this way forever.
