New Day
Night Beats Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't see the sun go down
From my eyes
They won't close I tell myself I wasn't wrong
For long forever
And in the night
Well my mind goes goes to places
My thoughts aren't straight as I mumble in my sleep
Through pain and the sweat and the shaking from my knees
Why won't the sun ever rise
Tell me for yourself
Why does the night take control of my eye
In your soul
Well I feel it down below
It's in the stars
Burning brighter then the grinding of your teeth
And the scars and the moon, and the motion underneath
At times I can't erase when I feel it
I feel the crashing down of the rain
Maybe someday, someday you'll see
For what I really am
Why won't the sun ever rise
Tell me for yourself
Why does the night take control of my eye

Line by Line Meaning
Tell me why
Asking for an explanation of the situation
I can't see the sun go down
Unable to witness the sunset
From my eyes
As perceived through the eyes
They won't close I tell myself I wasn't wrong
Unable to close the eyes despite the realization of being incorrect
For long forever
The realization will last for eternity
And in the night
Refers to the situation at night
Well my mind goes goes to places
The mind wanders aimlessly
And I can't keep
Unable to control
My thoughts aren't straight as I mumble in my sleep
Mentally disoriented, spoken incoherently during sleep
Through pain and the sweat and the shaking from my knees
Experiencing physical discomfort and anxiety
Why won't the sun ever rise
Questioning the absence of light
Tell me for yourself
Requesting an explanation from someone else
Why does the night take control of my eye
Why do I feel overwhelmed by darkness
In your soul
Within one's inner being
Well I feel it down below
A sensation that is deeply felt physically
It's in the stars
A cosmic energy that can be sensed
Burning brighter then the grinding of your teeth
An intense sensation with vibrancy
And the scars and the moon, and the motion underneath
A combination of physical and environmental experiences
At times I can't erase when I feel it
Occasionally, the feeling cannot be forgotten
I feel the crashing down of the rain
A powerful and heavy sensation
Maybe someday, someday you'll see
Hopeful for someone to understand later
For what I really am
For the true essence of oneself
