Silent Night
MY Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The deep silence... unbroken around
One dark lake
So placid, so cold...
Descended night
Throws shadows over water
Brown leaves fly
What happens around me?
It has no meaning...
I sleep in my woe
This is not my world...
For my world lies
Beyond other's reach
Shadows dancing - my throne
My dreams' winterland I behold
Through the gates of time unseen
In a silent night
Somewhere deep inside
In the darkest woods
In the darkest nights
Lies my ancient realm
Where are still places
For me to find
Shadows dancing - my throne
My dreams' winterland I behold
Through the gates of time unseen
In a silent night
The lyrics to My's song "Silent Night" paint a vivid picture of solitude and introspection in the midst of a cold and silent night. The first verse begins with the singer sitting under a pine tree, surrounded by an unbroken silence that permeates the scene. They gaze upon a dark lake, so calm and chilly, setting the tone for a somber and reflective atmosphere.
As the night progresses, darkness descends further and casts shadows over the water, while brown leaves gracefully soar through the air, symbolizing the transition from autumn to winter. This change in season is metaphorical, representing the singer's inner state of mind and emotions. They are witnessing the passage of time and the arrival of a colder, more barren phase in their life.
The second verse delves deeper into the singer's internal world. They feel disconnected from their surroundings and question the purpose and significance of what is happening around them. Their woe, their pain and sorrow, lulls them into a state of sleep, emphasizing their detachment from the world. They yearn for a different reality, a world beyond the grasp of others, indicating a longing for a place where they can truly belong.
In the following lines, the lyrics touch on the singer's realm of dreams, their sanctuary within the darkness. They refer to it as their "winterland," a place evocative of both beauty and solitude. Through the gates of time unseen, they are transported to this realm during the silent night. It is here that shadows dance, symbolizing the singer's mastery and control over their dreams and innermost thoughts. They find solace and empowerment in this hidden dimension away from the noise and chaos of the outside world.
In summary, "Silent Night" is a poignant exploration of a person's internal struggle with isolation and the quest for a deeper sense of belonging. The lyrics capture the stillness and coldness of the night, connecting it to the singer's emotional state. They seek refuge in their dreams, using them as a means to escape the world's troubles. This song ultimately expresses the yearning for a place where the individual can be truly understood and accepted, finding their own throne within the realm of darkness.

I envision a wintry landscape within the realm of my dreams
Through the gates of time unseen
I can access this realm through hidden portals in the fabric of time
In a silent night
It is during a quiet and still night that I can fully immerse myself in this realm
Somewhere deep inside
Within the depths of my being
In the darkest woods
In the most secluded and mysterious forests
In the darkest nights
During the blackest and most obscure nights
Lies my ancient realm
Resides my ancient and timeless kingdom
Where are still places
There are still undiscovered locations
For me to find
That I have yet to explore

[Verse 1]
All is calm and all is bright
Everywhere but in your heart tonight
They're singing carols of joy and peace
But you feel too far gone and too far out of reach
[Chorus]
Somewhere in your silent night
Heaven hears the song your broken heart has cried
Hope is here, just lift your head
For love has come to find you
Somewhere in your silent night
[Verse 2]
From Heaven's height to manger low
There is no distance the Prince of Peace won't go
From manger low to Calvary's hill
When your pain runs deep, His love runs deeper still
He has always loved you, child
And He always will
[Chorus]
Somewhere in your silent night
Heaven hears the song your broken heart has cried
Hope is here, just lift your head
For love has come to find you
Somewhere in your silent night
[Bridge]
Lift your head, lift your heart
Emmanuel will meet you where you are
He knows your hurt, He knows your name
And you're the very reason that He came
[Chorus]
Somewhere in your silent night
Heaven hears the song your broken heart has cried
Hope is here, just lift your head
For love has come to find you
Somewhere in your silent night...
[Outro]
Love will find you
Love will find you
Love will find you

I first heard this song a couple months after my daddy went to heaven with Jesus. I was diagnosed with clinical depression and cried myself to sleep. I started to drift away from Jesus, and I became a selective mute for a little while.
And the song makes me cry everytime, but the tears are cleansing.
I love my daddy,
and I love Jesus. 💜❤️
JESUS SAVED ME from death, fear, doubt, sadness, loneliness, hurting, wanting to hurt myself, the devil, pain, and everything else.
For this praise the Lord.
Jesus cares.
Jesus loves you.
Jesus saves. ✝️✨

I heard this song for the very first time tonight. I was driving and talking to my daughter who went to heaven at the age of 14. Telling her I love her and I miss her and my world is not the same without her. And I thought how nice it would be if the Lord could play me a song. But then Joy FM Atlanta is only playing Christmas music so that was not a possibly. But then this tune caught my ears...What is this, Lord?...And then the words touched my heart...God heard my thoughts and sent me this song. I laughed like Sarah did when she limited God's possibilities and just like God, He showed me that He is not limited. Thank you for a beautiful song that God could use tonight to speak to a broken mother's heart. May God bless y'all so that y'all can continue to be a blessing to us. Amen
