Music of the Night
Orlando Pops Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Darkness stirs and wakes imagination
Silently the senses abandon their defenses
Helpless to resist the notes I write
For I compose the music of the night
Slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendor
Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender
Music is deceiving
Hard as lightning, soft as candlelight
Dare you trust the music of the night
Close your eyes for your eyes will only tell the truth
And the truth isn't what you want to see
In the dark it is easy to pretend
That the truth is what it ought to be
Softly, deftly, music shall caress you
Hear it, feel it, secretly possess you
Open up your mind
Let your fantasies unwind
In this darkness which you know you cannot fight
The darkness of the music of the night
Close your eyes, start a journey through a strange, new world
Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before
Close your eyes, and let music set you free
Only then can you belong to me
Floating (floating), falling (falling), sweet intoxication
Touch me (touch me), trust me (trust me), savor each sensation
Let the dream begin
Let your darker side give in
To the power of the music that I write
The power of the music of the night
You alone can make my song take flight
Help me make the music of the
Help me make the music of the night
The song "Music of the Night" by Orlando Pops Orchestra is a beautifully composed piece that speaks about the power of music and imagination. The opening lines of the song "Night time sharpens, heightens each sensation, Darkness stirs and wakes imagination" suggests that the night has the power to awaken our imagination and deepen our awareness of the senses. As the music flows slowly and gently, the song speaks of the power of music to enthrall and take hold of our emotions.
The lyrics also explore the idea that music can be deceiving, as it has the power to create illusions and make us pretend that the truth is what it ought to be. The song urges the listener to close their eyes and let the music set them free from their thoughts, inviting them to a new world where they can explore their darker side and indulge in their fantasies. The song ends with a plea to the listener to make the music of the night take flight, creating something magical and transforming within themselves.
