When The Night
Motel Connection Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

While most of us
Are made of sun
Of light and warmth
We're looking for
The shade of night(time)

The light in me
Is parted in twain
By my shadows
I need nothing new
I'm looking for
The night

When the night comes down
Falling from the sky
When the night comes down
Open your eyes

While most of us
Are made of sun
Of light and warmth
We lose control
In the night-shelf
And other colds

When the night comes down
Falling from the sky
When the night comes down
Open your eyes

Four rings of smoke
Fly on my loved darkness
Dim lights
To feel alone
And I've been shot
And I think so

When the night comes down
Falling from the sky
When the night comes down
Open your eyes

Have you ever been in nature end?
Have you ever been out of sight?
Have you ever been in a magic stuff?
Make a sense of all
And then start the fall.

When the night comes down
Falling from the sky
When the night comes down
Open your eyes

When the night comes down
Falling from the sky
When the night comes down




Open your eyes:
(it) never gets dark.

Overall Meaning

The song "When The Night" by Motel Connection seems to be about the common human desire to seek darkness and the night time despite being predominantly beings of light and warmth. The first verse is about how most people are made of light and warmth, yet they still seek the shade and coolness of the night. The second verse talks about how the light in the singer is split into two by their shadows, yet they need nothing new and only seek the comfort of the night.


The chorus "When the night comes down, Falling from the sky, When the night comes down, Open your eyes" seems to indicate the moment when day transitions into night and how one should observe and fully embrace the change. The lines "Four rings of smoke, Fly on my loved darkness, Dim lights, To feel alone, And I've been shot, And I think so" are quite abstract and could either suggest that the singer is sitting alone in the dark and thinking, or alternatively, it could be interpreted as drugs or alcohol induced haze where the singer is having a surreal experience in the night time. The last verse is about the transformative experience one can have in nature and how it is important to make sense of it all and start the fall, which could either mean the literal fall of night or a new journey.
