Falling in the Black
Night Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Im looking back
At the times that just went by
It's a feeling I can't explain
What can I do
I am left here by myself
Must be a way out of here
Falling in the black
I had to give in
As the weels keeps on turning
This world will be grim
But I
Will be gone
Another war is facing me
But how can I fight
When there is nothing left to win
I stand alone on this battleground
Im looking out
As I take my final stand
Im on my way out of here
This is the final frontier
Falling in the black
I had to give in
As the weels keeps on turning
This world will be grim
But I
Will be gone
I'm closing my eyes
A stranger appears
A knight that will show me the kingdom of tears
The journey is endless
The nights are so cold
An eternity starts
My story is told
The lyrics of the song "Falling in the Black" by Night portrays a feeling of emptiness and struggle. The singer reminisces about the past, looking back at the times that have gone by but feeling lost in the present. The feeling is inexplicable, and the singer is left alone, trying to find a way out of this void. He stands on a battleground, facing an oncoming war, but he feels he doesn't have the strength left to fight for anything. He knows that the world will be a grim place, but he is ready to go away from it all, and take his final stand. As he closes his eyes, he sees a stranger - a knight, who will lead him to the kingdom of tears.
The song depicts the feeling of hopelessness and despair, a sense of defeat, and yet, there's an underlying hope that things may still change, that there might be a way out. The imagery of a knight leading him to a journey, endless and filled with cold nights, might seem bleak, but it also represents the transition from a place of darkness to hope.

I walk across an empty field
I am alone and searching for something, but there is nothing around me
Im looking back
I am reflecting on my past
At the times that just went by
I am reminiscing about my past experiences
It's a feeling I can't explain
I am overwhelmed by emotions that I cannot put into words
What can I do
I am feeling helpless and unsure of what to do next
I am left here by myself
I am alone and there is no one to help or guide me
Must be a way out of here
I am hoping that there is a solution to my problems
I'm at the final frontier
I am at the end of the line, there is nowhere else to go
Falling in the black
I am descending into darkness
I had to give in
I have no other choice but to submit to my fate
As the wheels keeps on turning
Time keeps moving forward, whether I want it to or not
This world will be grim
The world is a dark and cruel place
But I
Despite all of this, I am still here
Will be gone
But not for much longer, as I am about to leave this world behind
Another war is facing me
I am about to face yet another challenge or obstacle
But how can I fight
I am questioning my ability to overcome this challenge
When there is nothing left to win
There is nothing left to gain from this fight
I stand alone on this battleground
I am the only one fighting this battle
Im looking out
I am observing my surroundings
As I take my final stand
I am preparing to face my final challenge
I'm on my way out of here
I am leaving this world behind
This is the final frontier
This is the last challenge, the end of the line
I'm closing my eyes
I am preparing to die
A stranger appears
A new, unknown experience or phenomenon arises
A knight that will show me the kingdom of tears
An entity that will lead me into a realm of sadness and sorrow
The journey is endless
The path ahead is never-ending
The nights are so cold
The darkness is bleak and unwelcoming
An eternity starts
The journey ahead will feel like an eternity
My story is told
My journey has come to an end and my legacy will be remembered
