Nights In White Satin
Jennifer Rush Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never reaching the end
Letters I've written
Never meaning to send
Beauty I'd always missed
Whith these eyes before
Just what the truth is
Cause I love you, yes I love you, oh how I love you
Gazing at people
Some hand in hand
Just what I'm going through
They can't understand
Some try to tell me
Thoughts they cannot defend

Just what you want to be
You'll be in the end
And I love you, yes I love you
Oh how I love you, oh how I love you
Nights in white satin
Never reaching the end
Letters I've written
Never meaning to send
Cause I love you, yes I love you, oh how I love you
Yes and I love you
And I love you
Oh how I love you
Oh how I love you
Oh how I love you
The song "Nights in White Satin" by Jennifer Rush is a poetic and emotional ballad that explores the complexities of love and longing. The opening lines describe how the singer is caught in a state of perpetual yearning, never able to reach the end or achieve closure. This is reflected in the letters she writes but never sends, suggesting that her emotions run deep but that she is afraid of revealing them to the object of her affection.
The singer reflects on how she has missed out on the beauty of life before, suggesting a sense of regret or nostalgia for experiences that have passed her by. However, she admits that she can no longer discern the truth, suggesting a sense of confusion or uncertainty that may have contributed to her inability to move on. This is further emphasized by the line "just what I'm going through, they can't understand", which suggests that others may not be able to empathize with what she is feeling or going through.
Despite the sadness and confusion in the song, the central message is one of love. The singer repeatedly declares her love for the person she is addressing, expressing it in multiple ways and with increasing intensity. This suggests that love, despite its challenges and uncertainties, is ultimately the most important thing to her.

Nights in white satin
Evenings spent in luxurious comfort and elegance
Never reaching the end
The night feels never-ending, timeless beauty
Letters I've written
Words transcribed on paper, poured out from the heart
Never meaning to send
These words are private and personal, not meant for the eyes of others
Beauty I'd always missed
The artist hasn't fully appreciated the beauty of life until now
Whith these eyes before
In their prior experiences, they've never seen such beauty
Just what the truth is
The truth of the situation is unclear
I can't say anymore
The artist doesn't have the words to describe the emotions they're feeling
Cause I love you, yes I love you, oh how I love you
The emotions being felt are rooted in a deep, intense love
Gazing at people
Observing others
Some hand in hand
Some couples are intimately connected
Just what I'm going through
The artist can't explain their own emotions
They can't understand
Others don't possess the same depth of understanding
Some try to tell me
Others attempt to give advice
Thoughts they cannot defend
Their opinions are baseless and flimsy
Just what you want to be
You are free to be whoever you wish to be
You'll be in the end
Eventually, your true self will be revealed
And I love you, yes I love you
Once again, the depth of the singer's love is reaffirmed
Oh how I love you, oh how I love you

Oh how I love you
Their love knows no bounds or limitations

Never meaning to send
Beauty I'd always missed
With these eyes before
Just what the truth is
I can't say any more
'Cause I love you
Yes I love you
Oh how I love you
Gazing at people, some hand in hand
Just what I'm going through they can't understand
Some try to tell me, thoughts they cannot defend
Just what you want to be, you will be in the end
And I love you
Yes I love you
Oh how I love you
Oh how I love you
