Waiting For The Night
Saxon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't know if I'm up or I'm down
I'm coming back to you tonight
My pulse is racing, I'm out of control
My body's aching, it's taken it's toll
I'm coming back to you tonight
I need a shot, a shot to ease the pain
I'm waiting...I'm waiting for the night
I'm waiting...bring on the night
My heart is pounding, I need you so much
My body's yearning, I long for your touch
I'm coming back to you tonight
I can't wait a minute longer
Every second the feeling get stronger
Coming back to you tonight
This darn freeway's driving me insane
I need a shot, a shot to ease the pain
I'm waiting...I'm waiting for the night
I'm waiting...bring on the night (bring on the night)
You got me spinning, spinning around
I don't know if I'm up or I'm down
I'm coming back to you tonight
I can't wait a minute longer
Every second the feeling's stronger
Coming back to you tonight
This darn freeway's driving me insane
I need a shot, a shot to ease the pain
I'm waiting...I'm waiting for the night
I'm waiting...bring on the night
I'm waiting...I'm waiting for the night
I'm waiting...bring on the night
Bring on the night
Bring on the night
I'm waiting
Bring on the night
Bring on the night
'Cause tonight I'm coming back to you
I'm waiting
Bring on the night
[Fade]
[Additional lyrics included in liner notes but not in the song....]
My mind is drifting, thinking of you
The love you're sending is making it through
I'm coming back to you tonight
The summer sun's still shining bright
Can't last forever, bring on the night
I'm coming back to you tonight
The lyrics of "Waiting for the Night" by Saxon are about a person who cannot wait to be with their lover. The first line of the song conveys the intense emotions felt by the person, who feels like they are spinning out of control. They want to return to their lover, and their desire is so strong that they are willing to retake the freeway to be with them. The lyrics about the freeway traffic are repeated throughout the song, emphasizing how much the person wants to reach their destination.
The person is physically and emotionally exhausted from the longing, and they need their lover to ease their pain. The repeated lyrics, "I'm waiting... bring on the night," also reinforce their desire to be with their lover. The additional lyrics in the liner notes suggest that the person is thinking about their lover even while apart from them, and they long for the night to come so they can be together. The song's lyrics are simple yet effective in conveying the powerful emotions of intense longing and desire.

It may have been metal.
It may have been hard rock.
It may have been the hair.
But, music from the 80s was fun. Now, it all w-a-y too serious.
Thanks, guys. I needed some feel good music, this Monday.
🤘🤙🤟✌
