Night After Night
Magnum Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Say farewell and kiss the life goodbye
It`s ended
'Cause no one here can tell, they let it pass them by
The stolen tears they cry, they send it
Every wakin` hour that keeps you away
In some other place
Every weepin` flower, to touch your face
Makes you dream, of long forgotten songs
From where you belong

Night after night when your devils come closer




Shadows appear on the run
Well you hope

Overall Meaning

Magnum's song Night After Night is a beautiful track that talks about the existential crisis and emptiness one feels during the night time. In the opening line, "Say farewell and kiss the life goodbye, it's ended," the songwriter suggests that the persona is feeling hopeless and lost. The persona understands that no one around can help them in such a situation, and time is passing them by. The line "they let it pass them by" signifies that the people around the persona are oblivious to the problems they are going through.


The chorus, "Night after night when your devils come closer, shadows appear on the run," implies that the persona is fighting their demons; however, they always seem to come back at night. The shadows on the run refer to the fleeting thoughts that keep disturbing them. The verse "Every wakin' hour that keeps you away in some other place, every weepin' flower, to touch your face," suggests that the persona is longing for something that is lost or has yet to be found. They seek comfort from something or someone familiar, and even the weeping flowers remind them of a long-forgotten memory.


Overall, Night After Night is a beautiful rendition that addresses the human emotions of emptiness and longing. The song is well crafted and immensely relatable, and its deep lyrics resonate with the listeners on various levels.

Love this album, love Magnum

Gerald Hentrich

Say farewell
And kiss the life goodbye
It's ended
'Cause no one here can tell
They let it pass them by
The stolen tears they cry
They send it
Every waking hour
That keeps you away
In some other place
Every weeping flower
To touch your face
Makes you dream
Of long forgotten songs
From where you belong

Night after night
When the devil's come closer
Shadows appear on the run
Well, you hope and you pray
You can't wait till it's over
Angels of mercy won't come

Things don't change
But in some other life
Well, maybe
It wouldn't be so strange
To question what feels right
There's nothing black or white
It's crazy
And when the heavens fall
The father and son and the holy ghost
Yeah, they're
They're up against the wall
They'll cry the most
You shoot them down
And treasure each new day
Find no other way

Night after night
When the devil's come closer
Shadows appear on the run
Well, you hope and you pray
You can't wait till it's over
Angels of mercy won't come

No desert sun burns brighter
No wind could blow as strong
No chains will hold you tighter
Or carry you along

Night after night
When the devil's come closer
Shadows appear on the run
Well, you hope and you pray
You can't wait till it's over
Angels of mercy won't come

And then night after night
When the devil's come closer
Shadows appear on the run
Well, you hope and you pray
You can't wait till it's over
Angels of mercy won't come
