Here Comes The Night
LaVoy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I caught a glimpse once while we were alone
Heard your voice in a dream i called my home
Buried underneath the hoof and bone
A part of me i wished that i'd never known
So i stayed awake to fever in the light
Breathe deep built the walls through my own eyes
How i never knew you while i was in control
So confident in you when i awoke

Oh you speak to me while i sleep
Oh thank god here comes the night

I learned to glide right through
The mirrors and the smoke
In a person poorly reflected
I struck the match thats burned me where i'd been
You recite the words my heart's always known
You kept me out in the courtyard waiting
Then i saw you in a dream say "come in"
That i could be erased
And never eye your gaze
And never enter in
Come on come on come on come on come on





Oh you speak to me while i sleep
Oh thank god here comes the night

Overall Meaning

In LaVoy's song Here Comes The Night, the lyrics describe the singer's conflicted feelings towards someone they used to know. The first verse seems to suggest that the singer has seen or heard something that has changed their perception of this person, and they now regret having learned about it. The second verse describes the singer's attempts to distance themselves from this person and their own emotions, building walls and staying awake to avoid facing them. However, the chorus suggests that the singer finds some comfort or solace in the darkness of night, and that this is when they feel most connected to the person they are singing about. The repetition of "you speak to me while I sleep" implies that this person is still able to reach the singer on a deeper level, even if they are no longer physically present.


As the song progresses, the singer seems to acknowledge that they have been burned by this person in the past, but that they still feel drawn to them. They describe themselves as "a person poorly reflected" in the second verse, suggesting that they may have lost sight of their identity or sense of self while they were involved with this person. The bridge of the song sees the singer imagining a conversation with the person they are addressing, in which they are invited into a courtyard and told that they could be "erased" from the other person's life. Despite this, the repeated refrain of "come on come on come on come on come on" suggests that the singer is still eager to connect with this person, regardless of their past pain.


Overall, the lyrics of Here Comes The Night suggest a complex and conflicted relationship between two individuals. While the singer acknowledges that there have been negative experiences between them, they also express a desire to leave the past behind and rekindle their connection.

I caught a glimpse once while we were alone
I saw a part of you that you keep hidden from others


Heard your voice in a dream i called my home
I heard your true thoughts and feelings in a dream


Buried underneath the hoof and bone
Your true self is buried beneath your exterior facade


A part of me i wished that i'd never known
Knowing the truth about you has caused me pain and regret


So i stayed awake to fever in the light
I stayed awake to avoid facing the truth about you


Breathe deep built the walls through my own eyes
I built walls to protect myself from the truth about you


How i never knew you while i was in control
I thought I knew you, but I was in control of my perception


So confident in you when i awoke
I was confident in my false perception of you when I woke up


Oh you speak to me while i sleep
I can only hear your true thoughts and feelings when I sleep


Oh thank god here comes the night
I am relieved that the night has come, allowing me to hear your true voice


I learned to glide right through
I learned to navigate through illusions and deception


The mirrors and the smoke
The illusions and deception surrounding you


In a person poorly reflected
You are poorly reflected in the illusions you project


I struck the match thats burned me where i'd been
I have been hurt by the truth that you revealed to me


You recite the words my heart's always known
You speak the truth that my heart has always known, but I had refused to acknowledge


You kept me out in the courtyard waiting
You kept me waiting, hoping that I would remain in ignorance


Then i saw you in a dream say "come in"
In a dream, you invited me to see the truth about you


That i could be erased
I could forget the truth, erasing it from my mind


And never eye your gaze
I could avoid looking directly at you, avoiding the truth


And never enter in
I could avoid facing the truth by avoiding you
