This Night
McCluskey Angela Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This night, this static night
The moon gives shelter from the rain
It's not the only night
It's not no final ending

See your majesty
Is falling from his shining grace
You're just coming home

This life, this holy life
We take our beatings from the rainbow, the rainbow
And god's not cutting back
She still can shield us from the pain

Feel that you've gone astray
The righteous on a one way trail
One that leads you here

Feel like I want to stay
And make you understand me
Oh, 'cause fear doesn't live around here
I'm disappearing, could we dream much longer?

Fear doesn't live 'round here
Fear doesn't live
Fear, fear

Fear doesn't live 'round here




I'm disappearing
Fear

Overall Meaning

In Angela McCluskey's song "This Night," the opening lines set a melancholic tone with the mention of a static, rainy night. However, the moon offers some comfort. The lyrics suggest that this particular night isn't unique and that it's not the end. The perspective of the song shifts to a focus on a fallen "majesty," suggesting perhaps a former love interests' decline from grace, and "you're just coming home."


The second verse emphasizes the difficulty of life, perhaps indicating that the singer and her lover are facing challenges. They "take their beatings from the rainbow." However, their hope remains steadfast because "God" can still shield them. The lines "Feel that you've gone astray, the righteous on a one-way trail, one that leads you here" suggest that they may have been lost, but they found their way to one another. The chorus repeats the idea that fear is absent in this place, and the singer is disappearing. Perhaps this disappearing is symbolic of the dissolution of their fears and the walls they have built up. The song ends on the word "fear," emphasizing its absence.


Overall, the lyrics suggest a powerful message of hope and overcoming obstacles in life. Even though the characters may have faced hardship, they found their way back to each other and are now fearlessly facing the future together.
