All Night Long
Murphy Peter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Eyes are running wild
Then I hear you humming
All night long
The sign I see it
Tell me am I true
All I need from you is
This city's paved with cold
Playboys buying fun
Seems there is no hunter left
Without his hunting gun
Can you feel the light
The air is wild open
Oh you see the light it's coming through
It's there in the distance
Always offered to me
Always coming over a hill
Oh your see-saw smile
Lasts me all night long
Like a siren's curl
When the night is long
Now come hold my hand
No bad vibe hearts
Hold my hand you know
This journey could be long
Yeah the seasons come in
All the nights are woven
All the nights we'll see them through
Ah no hundred men now
Would dare cut into us
We'll go on and see it through
Belle,
Une rose qui a joue son role
Mon Miroir,
Mon clef d'or
Mon cheval
Et mon gant sont les cinq secrets de ma puissance
Je voulais livrer
Il vous suffira de mettre ce gant
A votre main droite
Il vous transportera ou vous desirez l'etre
When the night has come in
Your eyes are running wild
Then I hear you humming
All night long
Yeah the sign I see it
Yeah the times I see it
All I need to know from you
Is all I see
Can you feel the light
The air is wild, open
Oh you see the light,
It's coming through
It's there in the distance
Always offered to me
Always coming over a hill
Yeah the seasons come in
All the nights are woven
All the nights we'll see them through
Ahh no hundred men now
Would dare cut into us
We'll go on and see it through
(Repeat X 3)
The lyrics of Peter Murphy's song "All Night Long" depict a scene where the night is closing in, and the singer's eyes are running wild, but he finds solace in the humming of someone else. As the lyrics progress, it seems like the singer is searching for a sign to confirm if what he hears and sees is true. The city he is in is superficial, where the playboys buy fun, but he finds comfort in the person he is with. The lyrics then move to the encounter of a rose that has played its role in the singer's journey, and the five secrets of his power.
The lyrics of "All Night Long" seems to be a reflection of Peter Murphy's personal journey. The song's entire scene of the night closing in and finding solace in someone else could be a reflection of Peter's journey through life as an artist. The parts that speak about the city being paved with cold and playboys buying fun could be a reflection of his relationship with the music industry, where he has to navigate his way through the superficial world of the industry. Belle and Une rose qui a joue son role both are found in the Serge Gainsbourg's song 'Initials B.B' where it shares a connection with the lyrics of "All Night Long."

When the night is closing
As the night draws to a close
Eyes are running wild
You feel uneasy and restless
Then I hear you humming
I find comfort in the sound of your voice
All night long
Throughout the night
The sign I see it
I'm looking for a sign
Tell me am I true
To confirm my thoughts
All I need from you is
You have the answer I seek
All I see
What I perceive
This city's paved with cold
This city is heartless and unkind
Playboys buying fun
Men here seek pleasure without commitment
Seems there is no hunter left
There are not many sincere men
Without his hunting gun
Without their charm or their wit
Can you feel the light
Do you sense the positive energy
The air is wild open
The atmosphere is electrifying
Oh you see the light it's coming through
You feel the hope within reach
It's there in the distance
The future has potential
Always offered to me
I have a chance to seize it
Always coming over a hill
It's on the horizon
Oh your see-saw smile
Your smile lifts my spirits
Lasts me all night long
Your smile keeps me hopeful until morning
Like a siren's curl
As enticing as a siren's lure
When the night is long
As the night drags on
Now come hold my hand
Let us face our future together
No bad vibe hearts
Let us leave our negativity behind
Hold my hand you know
We have each other's support
This journey could be long
Our journey together may be challenging
Yeah the seasons come in
The passage of time
All the nights are woven
All our experiences are interconnected
All the nights we'll see them through
We will face them all head-on
Ahh no hundred men now
No amount of men
Would dare cut into us
Can break us apart
We'll go on and see it through
We will persevere till the end
(Repeat X 3)
This refrain is repeated thrice

@GeigermSv
It's an excerpt from Jean Cocteau's Beauty And The Beast with the late comedian Jean Marais. Here's the whole monologue with the translation:
(Beast consenting to send temporarily Beauty back to her dying father)
Belle, vous y serez ce matin même.
(Beauty, you'll be there this morning in no time)
Ma nuit n'est pas la vôtre. Il fait nuit chez moi, mais c'est le matin chez vous.
(my night time isn't yours. Night rules my domain, but the morning rules at your home.)
Here starts the excerpt:
Belle, une rose qui a joué son rôle...
(Beauty, a rose which has played her part...)
... mon miroir, ma clef d'or, mon cheval et mon gant sont les cinq secrets de ma puissance.
(...my mirror, my golden key, my horse and my glove are the five secrets of my power.)
Je vous les livre. Il vous suffira de mettre ce gant à votre main droite, et il vous transportera où vous désirerez être.
(I leave them between your hands. You'll merely have to fit your right hand with this glove, and it will teleport you where you wish to be.)
Souvenez-vous de votre promesse. Adieu, Belle.
(Remember your promise. Goodbye, Beauty.)

Nothing gets me quite like Peter Murphy. Forever changed by him. ( I met him once...he complimented my dress, I wore bright yellow because I knew everyone else would be in black. It worked. He called me darling and told me I was refreshing....I melted into a puddle of adoration )
