Night & Day

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh, I'm an aristocrat
And I get off on selling souls
They try to ignore me but bow before me
Oh, that's how it goes
Your life is a welcome mat on which I step and drag my toes
The passage of time will creep up behind you
Oh, that's how it goes
When you get that feeling that there is a monster,
There's always a reason, your conscience is haunted
The spirits are humming the song of an offer
And you won't be safe anywhere
The days are too long
And then they end
Right when we wanted some more
They always end
Right when we needed some more
Then day becomes night
As we close our eyes to sleep
And why can't I feel it?
And why can't we just be
Together now?
Oh, I'm an aristocrat
And I can make this hell your home
The passage of time was always beside you
Oh, that's how it goes
Have they got a name for this sorrow?
Against all, where we once stood tall
And it’s easy to wait for tomorrow
When there’s nothing to miss
The days are too long
And then they end
Right when we wanted some more
They always end
Right when we needed some more
Then day becomes night
As we close our eyes to sleep
And why can't I feel it?
And why can't we just be
Together now?
Well that's what I call one hell of a day
And a weight on my back
That's what I call one hell of a life
With my spine twisted in a knot
Oh, I'm an aristocrat and I get off on selling souls




They try to ignore me but bow before me
Oh, that's how it goes

Overall Meaning

The song "Night & Day" by Lloyd is a dark and eerie track that explores the concept of power and manipulation. The opening lines "Oh, I'm an aristocrat, and I get off on selling souls" set the tone for the rest of the song, with the singer admitting to enjoying their power over others. The next few lines illustrate how the people around the singer try to ignore them, but ultimately end up bowing down to them. The lyrics suggest that the singer's power is addictive, and they are unable to resist their desire to control others.


The chorus of the song features the repetition of the phrase "the days are too long, and then they end" which highlights the cyclical nature of life. The singer seems to be stuck in a rut, unable to break free from the monotony of their existence. They also express the desire for more, but are consistently left unsatisfied. The transition from day to night is used to represent the passing of time and the lack of change in the singer's life.


The second verse delves deeper into the darker aspects of the singer's personality, with references to monsters and haunted consciences. The imagery used in this verse paints a picture of an individual consumed by their ambitions, and willing to do anything to achieve them. The final lines of the song are a repetition of the opening lines, signaling that the cycle of power and manipulation will continue indefinitely.
