Night Patrol
Maanam Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Linger through the night
Danger lurks by your doorway
Don't turn out the light
Sleep easy, don't worry
Calm your timid soul
Footsteps under your window
It's just the night patrol
Someone is dying
Yours mother's crying
Don't go out alone
Evil is prowling
The wind is howling
Through your happy home
Sleep, sleep, pretty baby, sleep
Dream your dream of angels
Rock-a-bye, baby, goodnight
Shadows in the bleak city
Night patrol's alert
Making sure that you're OK.
That you don't get hurt
Anxious to protect you
Everything's alright
Shadows in the sad city
Bleed through the night
The song Night Patrol by Maanam is a captivating and slightly eerie homage to the night watchmen and women who keep the city safe, while everyone else is asleep. The lyrics evoke a sense of unease and uncertainty, using vivid imagery to paint a picture of a dark and dangerous city. The opening lines, "Shadows in the dark city, linger through the night," immediately set the mood, and the line "Danger lurks by your doorway, don't turn out the light," intensifies that ominous feeling.
The chorus, however, offers a comforting contrast to these feelings of fear, assuring listeners that they can "sleep easy" and that "everything's alright." Despite the danger that seems to be lurking around every corner, the night patrol is there to protect and safeguard the sleeping citizens of the city. The verse "Someone is dying, your mother's crying, don't go out alone," is particularly poignant, evoking feelings of sadness and desperation.
The song ultimately captures the duality of the night - the darkness and danger, but also the safety and security provided by those who keep watch while others sleep. It's an intriguing and atmospheric track that captures the imagination and lingers long after it's over.
