Night After Night
Rasmus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Heaven sent you to cure this cancer
But for a moment unbeatable chance
For a moment the world in my hands
Like an angel you came
Every time when I pray
Guardian in my dreams
Like and angel you came
Every time when I screamed
Time after time I lose again
Night after night I wake up shaking
Cause my world is breaking
Fool enough to fail again
Night after night I wake up crying
Cause I feel like dying
Still disconnected
And now protected
Still I'm haunted
But unwanted
But for a moment
Unbreakable stars
For a moment you stayed in my arms
Like an angel you came
Every time when I pray
Guardian in my dreams
Watching me in my sleep
Like and angel you came
Every time when I scream
Time after time I lose again
Night after night I wake up shaking
Cause my world is breaking
Fool enough to fail again
Night after night I wake up crying
Cause I feel like dying
Time after time I lose again
Night after night I wake up shaking
Cause my world is breaking
Fool enough to fail again
Night after night I wake up crying
Cause I feel like dying

Heaven sent you to bring the answer
You were divinely sent to bring me the solution to my problems
Heaven sent you to cure this cancer
You were heaven's messenger to heal me from my pains
But for a moment unbeatable chance
I had an opportunity that seemed impossible to pass up, but it was fleeting
For a moment the world in my hands
Everything around me seemed to fall into place, and I was in control
Like an angel you came
You appeared in my life like a savior
Every time when I pray
You come to me every time I ask for help
Guardian in my dreams
You protect me even in my dreams
Watching me when my sleep
You remain present while I rest
Time after time I lose again
I keep repeating my mistakes over and over
Night after night I wake up shaking
Every night, I am filled with fear and anxiety, unable to rest peacefully
Cause my world is breaking
Everything around me is falling apart
Fool enough to fail again
Despite knowing better, I continue to make the same mistakes
Night after night I wake up crying
Every night, I find myself in tears, overwhelmed with emotions
Cause I feel like dying
I am completely consumed by my pain and suffering
Still disconnected
I remain separated from the world around me
And now protected
But you have provided me with security and safety
Still I'm haunted
My past continues to haunt me
But unwanted
Despite my struggles, I feel like a burden to those around me
Unbreakable stars
In that moment, everything was perfect and unbreakable
For a moment you stayed in my arms
I held onto that moment, not wanting it to end
