In The Dark of the Night
Jessica Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sarajevo, am I alone here?
Is this wet from desire or is it fear?
Cheek to the ground, sand in my teeth
You've ripped out my skin and the pride underneath

So I wait here patiently
For you to kill me, Sarajevo
Has your heart stopped beating and does your blood run cold?
Do you feel safer since your mind's been sold?
There's no more flowers, it's nothing new
There's no together, just me and you

So I wait here patiently
For you to kill me, Sarajevo
So I wait here patiently
For you to kill me, Sarajevo

You've wrecked my beauty through years of war
Though it hurts, I still want more
I'll submit to you, my body is yours
It's my mind you're after, to rape and deplore

So I wait here patiently
For you to kill me, Sarajevo
So I wait here patiently
For you to kill me, Sarajevo

Do I want you because I fear you?
I should run but I need you

So I wait here patiently
For you to kill me, Sarajevo
So I wait here patiently
For you to kill me, Sarajevo

So I wait here patiently
For you to kill me, Sarajevo




So I wait here patiently
For you to kill me, Sarajevo

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Jessica Vale's song Night in Sarajevo depict a scene of desperation and submission in the midst of war. The singer is in Sarajevo, a city that has been ravaged by years of conflict, and is questioning whether her feelings are driven by desire or fear. She is physically and emotionally broken, with sand in her teeth and her skin and pride ripped out. Despite this, she is waiting patiently for Sarajevo to kill her, suggesting that death may be preferable to the pain and suffering she is enduring.


The song alludes to the idea that the singer's body is something that she is willing to submit to Sarajevo, but it is her mind that is being taken from her. The lyrics suggest that she is being raped and deplored by the city, and that her desire to stay may be driven by fear rather than genuine affection. The repetition of the phrase "so I wait here patiently for you to kill me, Sarajevo" brings a sense of inevitability to the situation, as if the singer has already accepted her fate and is simply waiting for it to happen.


Overall, the lyrics to Night in Sarajevo paint a bleak picture of life in a war-torn city, where desperation and fear are more powerful than hope and love.
