The Night Is Young
Nosferatu Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Loved in candlelight
Can't you feel the night is young
Come dance with the ghost
Step in through my door
Don't you know the night is young
In the city lights
A pale reflection's calling
Hanging from horizons eyes
See the faces crystalline
Trace your foot steps, follow through
Down on the ground and kiss those black lips
Back upon you, waiting on
Sound of heartbeats, breathing's drawn
Tasting your temptation
My dark embraces revelation
Up above the skyline hightime
Look across the evenings cries
So many empty hearts just wasting
Time they don't have left to kill
The moonlight guides the darkness near
To a place where desire waits
In cold anticipation
The Devil lays down your salvation
The lyrics of Nosferatu's song "The Night is Young" is a haunting and sensual description of the atmosphere of the night, wherein the darkness and shadows serve as a backdrop for romance and seduction. The lyrics speak of moving in silhouettes and being loved in candlelight, which serves as a metaphor for a clandestine relationship, hidden from the rest of the world. The singer then invites the listener to come dance with the ghost, a suggestion to surrender to the allure of the night and the promise of passion. The pale reflection calling in the city lights is a reference to the desire that is reflected back to the singer and the listener, mirroring their own longing.
The second verse speaks of the faces that are seen as crystalline, a suggestion of the clarity that is gained when one is able to see beyond the surface, a hint of deeper understanding. The line "Trace your foot steps, follow through" is a call to follow the singer's footsteps and surrender to the darkness. The stanza ends with a promise of sensual pleasures, with the singer waiting for the sound of heartbeats and breathing's drawn. The last verse refers to the moonlight guiding the darkness near, implying that the singer and the listener's desires are brought to light by the night. The devil laying down your salvation is a paradoxical statement, where the listener's salvation is found not in light but in darkness and sin.

We move in silhouettes
Our movements are blurred and shadowed
Loved in candlelight
We express our love in the warm light of candles
Can't you feel the night is young
The night is full of potential and possibilities
Come dance with the ghost
Join us in the surreal, ethereal realm of the supernatural
Step in through my door
Come inside and join our world
Don't you know the night is young
We have all night to explore and experience
In the city lights
The bright lights of the city surround us
A pale reflection's calling
The city is a reflection of our own desires
How we love the night so young
We revel in the energy and freedom of the night
Hanging from horizons eyes
Watching the world from a distance
See the faces crystalline
The people are clear and distinct
Trace your foot steps, follow through
Follow the path you have already taken
Down on the ground and kiss those black lips
Embrace the dark side and all of its mysteries
Back upon you, waiting on
The darkness awaits your return
Sound of heartbeats, breathing's drawn
Hearing the rhythm of life and death
Tasting your temptation
Indulging in forbidden desires
My dark embraces revelation
You will find truth in the shadows
Up above the skyline hightime
Looking up at the towering skyscrapers
Look across the evenings cries
The night is full of mournful sounds
So many empty hearts just wasting
People are wasting their lives without purpose
Time they don't have left to kill
They are running out of time and opportunities
The moonlight guides the darkness near
The moon illuminates the path to the unknown
To a place where desire waits
Desires are fulfilled in the shadows
In cold anticipation
Waiting eagerly for the next thrill
The Devil lays down your salvation
Only by embracing darkness can you find salvation

Lyrics: We move in silhouette
Loved in candlelight
Can’t you feel the night is young
Come Dance With The Ghost
Step in through my door
Don’t you know the night is young
In the city lights
A pale reflection’s calling
How we love the night so young
Hanging from horizons eyes
See the faces crystalline
Trace your foot steps, follow through
Down on the ground and kiss those black lips
Back upon you, waiting on
Sound of heartbeats, breathing’s drawn
Tasting your temptation
My dark embraces revelation
Up above the skyline hightime
Look across the evenings cries
So many empty hearts just wasting
Time they don’t have left to kill
The moonlight guides the darkness near
To a place where desire waits
In cold anticipation
The Devil lays down your salvation

@EturnusFrost Nosferatu's sound is epic. The guitar work is expansive and the piano/keys are masterful. That is what they are known for. Yes, they also have over the top cheese, but their sound makes up for it. Check out their Rise or Legend albums for their best work. The later works were much more aggressive and electronic in nature, yet still kept the classic Nosferatu epic sound.

I remember!!! I remember it!!! Arghhhh!!
A storyteller play this music in our game when we enter the battle against an Giovanna elders .. we play as black hand armed with Harbinger of skulls and two of anarchs to our cause , and enslaved one camarilla scourge .
The purpose of the attach to both weakness and take the city to our own,
However to everyone shock, the ghosts turn on their masters and devour him both blood and soul (I cry because I was so close to eat that elder 7 generations scum!)
It was beautiful time!

What I love, is that a so many of the ancient Giovanni still active, could still be technically classed as Cappadocian.
