This Night
McCluskey Angela Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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.
Line by Line Meaning
This night, this static night
The current moment, still and unchanging
The moon gives shelter from the rain
Despite the rain and the hardships, there is still light in the darkness
It's not the only night
There will be other moments like this
It's not no final ending
This is not the ultimate conclusion. There is more to come.
See your majesty
Your sense of power and control
Is falling from his shining grace
Is diminishing and eroding away
You're just coming home
You are returning to a place of familiarity
This life, this holy life
The current existence, a sacred and meaningful journey
We take our beatings from the rainbow, the rainbow
We endure hardships that are beautiful in their own way
And god's not cutting back
The divine still provides us with protection and guidance
She still can shield us from the pain
The divine can still offer us comfort in our suffering
Feel that you've gone astray
Sense that you may have lost your way
The righteous on a one way trail
Those who are righteous may feel restrained and limited
One that leads you here
Their choices have led them to this particular moment
Feel like I want to stay
Desire to remain in this circumstance for a little longer
And make you understand me
Wanting to convey one's true self to another person
Oh, 'cause fear doesn't live around here
Because fear is not an emotion present in this particular space and moment
I'm disappearing, could we dream much longer?
I am fading away, but is it possible to prolong this feeling further?
Fear doesn't live 'round here
Fear is not a pervasive emotion in this moment
Fear doesn't live
Fear is absent
Fear, fear
An assertion of the absence of fear
Fear doesn't live 'round here
Fear has no place in this moment
I'm disappearing
One's sense of self is fading away
Fear
A reminder of fear's transience and impermanence
