All Night
Pure Bathing Culture Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When nothing's ever as it seems
And you are all alone
And what's left in between
When creepers pick your stitches clean
And you are all alone
But there's one thing they can't keep
All night I'll run with you
'Til black in the sky turns blue
Yeah all night I'll run with you
'Til black in the sky turns
Late nights and starless stones
When there's no moon to lead you home
And you are all alone
But these nights they live in me
And I have clever energy
And you are not alone
But watch them run and hide
When I light the lightning shrine
All night I'll run with you
'Til black in the sky turns blue
Yeah all night I'll run with you
'Til black in the sky turns
'Til black in the sky turns
All night I'll run with you
'Til black in the sky turns blue
Yeah all night I'll run with you
'Til black in the sky turns
All night I'll run with you
'Til black in the sky turns blue
Yeah all night I'll run with you
'Til black in the sky turns
'Til black in the sky
Yeah all night
'Til black in the sky
I'll be with you all night
'Til black in the sky
The lyrics to "All Night" by Pure Bathing Culture depict a dark and eerie atmosphere, with the singer feeling isolated and lost. The opening lines describe "dark nights and blackest dreams", where nothing is as it seems and the singer is left alone with "creepers" picking at their "stitches". However, despite the darkness, the singer finds solace in a "twilight kiss" that they are able to hold onto. The chorus then talks about running through the night until it turns blue, highlighting a sense of perseverance and the idea that the singer is not alone.
In the latter half of the song, the atmosphere becomes even more sinister as the singer references "starless stones" and a lack of direction. Despite this, they claim to have "clever energy" that keeps them going, and they are no longer alone thanks to the energy that they possess. The final lines of the song focus on a "lightning shrine" and a sense of power that the singer holds over others, but ultimately their focus remains on running through the night.
Overall, "All Night" seems to be a song about fighting through loneliness and isolation, and the power that can be found in perseverance and inner strength. The dark and eerie tone of the lyrics adds to the sense of foreboding and isolation that the singer is experiencing, but ultimately they find a way to hold onto hope and keep running through the night.

Dark nights and blackest dreams
During times of darkness and the most intense nightmares
When nothing's ever as it seems
When everything is uncertain and unclear
And you are all alone
You feel isolated and without support
And what's left in between
The unknown space between the past and the future
When creepers pick your stitches clean
When your wounds are picked at and made worse
But there's one thing they can't keep
Despite everything, one thing remains
This twilight kiss from me
A sense of romance and emotional intimacy
All night I'll run with you
I'll be by your side all through the night
'Til black in the sky turns blue
We'll be together until the darkness fades into light
Late nights and starless stones
During long, lonely nights with no guidance or direction
When there's no moon to lead you home
Without any hope or clear path forward
And you are all alone
Without anyone to turn to
But these nights they live in me
These experiences are a part of who I am
And I have clever energy
I have a sense of resilience and resourcefulness
And you are not alone
You are not the only one going through this
But watch them run and hide
Those who've caused pain will have to face it
When I light the lightning shrine
When justice is served, and those who hurt others face consequences
'Til black in the sky
Until the darkness fades into light
I'll be with you all night
I'll be by your side through everything

dark nights and blackest dreams
when nothing’s ever as it seems
and you are all alone
and what’s left in between
when creepers pick your stitches clean
and you are all alone
but there’s one thing they can’t keep
this twilight kiss from me
all night I’ll run with you
till black in the sky turns blue
yeah all night I’ll run with you
till black in the sky
late nights and starless stones
when there’s no moon to lead you home
and you are all alone
but these nights they live in me
and I have clever energy
and you are not alone
but watch them run and hide
when I light the lightning shrine
all night I’ll run with you
till black in the sky turns blue
yeah all night I’ll run with you
till black in the sky turns
till black in the sky
yeah all night
till black in the sky I’ll be with you all night
🖤 much love PBC.

So glad you guys are producing more music, been a fan for years <3

Why this band isn’t more well known is beyond me. I recently discovered their music and am hooked on their unique sound.
James
Same here. They've been my favorite band for almost ten years now. IN my opinion, they are better than anything on the radio right now. Their music has meant more to me over the last decade than almost anything else and I will always love them.
Renato Angeli
Who said Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham didn't have kids?
By far the best song of 2019. That chorus, that solo at the end... Need to see them live.
James
More like Stevie Nicks and Mark Knopfler. ;)

Perfect couple: harmony, rhythm, freshness, joy, lovely, brilliant, dance, pure, bathing and culture. Congratulations!

I love how every album is so unique. The first is almost existential, Moon Tides is a cold existence far away, Pray for Rain is poppy and glowy, while maintaining a gloomy sound of their previous albums. And these new three songs, namely Devotion and this one, All Night, sound LIKE them, but simultaneously so different. Way more poppy than even Pray for Rain. Love them and their music.
Vox Velderrain
James I disagree. While I prefer Moon Tides over Pray for Rain and the three songs we've heard thus far, I don't think they're "selling out". They're just doing something different. You could argue that all their songs are very commercial, so I wouldn't call them sellouts at all
James
Moon Tides is an absolute classic album for me.
NB
one of the most underrated bands out there. loved you guys since pendulum
