Children Of The Night
Pam Hall Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Late at night when all the world is safe
Within their dreams, I walk the shadows
Late at night an empty feeling creeps
Within my soul, I feel so lonely

So I go into the darkness of the night
All alone I walk the streets until I find
Someone who is just like me

Looking for some company

Children of the night

Late at night a restless feeling takes
Control of me and I can't fight it
Late at night I feel the need for someone
Who like me needs understanding

So once again I'll search the darkness of the night
All alone I'll walk each street until I find
Someone who is just like me
Looking for some company, no, yeah, hea

Children of the night

So once again I'll search the darkness of the night
All alone I'll walk each street until I find
Someone who is just like me
Looking for some company, no, yeah, hea

Children of the night
Children of the night
Children of the night

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

Overall Meaning

The song "Children of the Night" by Pam Hall is a melancholic tune that talks about the pain of being alone at night. The singer walks the shadows as everyone else sleeps in their beds, and feels a sense of restlessness and emptiness within, which only grows stronger as the night goes on. She craves the company of someone who understands her, and takes to the streets to find another "child of the night" like herself.

The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Children of the Night," which can be interpreted in a few different ways. It could be a term for people who are awake and out at night, in contrast to those who are asleep, or it could refer to people who feel a sense of isolation and emptiness when the rest of the world is at peace.

Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of longing and desperation, as the singer searches for someone to share her pain with. Despite the sadness in the song, however, there is also a feeling of solidarity among those who are out at night, alone and searching for connection.
