Forging a broad spectrum of influences, Maxthor take irresistible echoes of eighties giants like Phil Collins, Billy Idol and Survivor and filter them through their own lens of synth driven futurist-nostalgia.
When the Night Falls
Maxthor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've got a long way to go
Embers of the fire
That still burns within us all
I am broken inside
Looking for a hand to hold
Ashes of a Phoenix
That will never be reborn
I don't wanna wait no more
I won't fight this losing war
I'm running away
I've been silent for so long
Everything we had is gone
And won't be back again
I'll rise when the night falls
I'll break down these high walls
I'll rise when the night falls
I'll dive into my own world
I'll rise when the night falls
Thunders tear the dim sky
Should have known that we were wrong
Embers of the fire
That still burns within us all
Victims of a cruel lie
Waiting for a chance to save your soul
Ashes of a Phoenix
That will never be reborn
The lyrics of Maxthor's song "When the Night Falls" describe a sense of desperation and loss, as the singer is running away from the past in search of a better future. The imagery of hiding from the street lights and the ashes of a Phoenix suggest that the singer is trying to avoid being seen or recognized, while also acknowledging that their past is now dead and gone.
The repetition of the line "I'll rise when the night falls" suggests that the singer is trying to find hope and strength in the darkness, perhaps using the quiet and solitude of the night to reflect on their past and gain perspective. The line "thunders tear the dim sky" could suggest that the singer is facing some kind of external danger or threat, but is determined to keep going regardless.
The chorus of the song is particularly powerful, with the repeated phrase "I'll rise when the night falls" providing a sense of hope and resilience. The line "I'll break down these high walls" suggests that the singer is determined to overcome whatever obstacles they are facing, while the verse "victims of a cruel lie, waiting for a chance to save your soul" suggests that there may be a deeper emotional struggle going on beneath the surface.
Overall, "When the Night Falls" is a powerful anthem of hope and determination, with a strong beat and soaring vocals that reinforce the message of resilience and strength.
