Nocturne
Sufferer Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ooh look at you
Lying there looking so beautifully
My image of eternity
I yearn for you

′Cause I don't wanna move
I don′t wanna do anything at all
I just wanna be here with you
We'll fall into the grooves
To the place where we can be anything at all
I'll never not be right here with you

I yearn for you
Let′s subdue the mood

′Cause I don't wanna move
I don′t wanna do anything at all
I just wanna be here with you
We'll fall into the grooves
To the place where we can be anything at all
I′ll never not be right here with you

Don't you ever leave
I′ll never leave you





Listen to the rain, let the rain fall

Overall Meaning

Upon your dreams again
Listen to the rain, let the rain sing
Embroidering my pain again


The Sufferer’s song Nocturne is a love song that expresses the yearning for a loved one. The opening lines, “Ooh look at you, Lying there looking so beautifully, My image of eternity” paint a picture of the singer admiring their beloved as they lay still. They describe their partner as their “image of eternity”, conveying a sense of foreverness, much like the night, which is where the title of the song “nocturne” originates. The melancholic piano that accompanies the song in the background sets a somber mood, adding to the intensity of the words.


The chorus is repeated, stressing the desire of the singer to never leave their beloved’s side. They yearn to stay in that moment and just be with their loved one. The lines “We'll fall into the grooves, To the place where we can be anything at all” narrate a moment of pure joy and liberation as they fall into a groove, unburdened by the constraints of society, and just exist with each other.
