Love Through The Night
Symbols Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I whisper your name
Through a long and sleepless night
Of who is to blame
Can't help but wonder
If you're lonely too
As I lie here and toss about
How I wish, my heart with me
My memories alone
Why must I re-dream, re-live
The Joys we have known
I pray that someday
Our love will see the light' til then
In thick dark silence I beg my heart to replace
All through and oh so long and sleepless night
I pray that someday
Our love will see the light' til then
In thick dark silence
I beg my heart to replace
All through alone so long and sleepless night
The lyrics of Symbols' song Love Through The Night depict a beautiful yet sad situation of two people who are not together but deeply in love. The singer of the song is spending a long, sleepless night thinking about the person he/she loves and whispering their name. The lyrics suggest that there is some kind of trouble in their relationship and the singer feels alone and wonders if the other person is lonely too.
The second verse further adds to the sadness of the situation. The singer wishes that he/she were with the person they love and that their heart is heavy with memories of the joys they have known. However, they are unable to forget the person they love and hope that someday their love will see the light. In the meantime, they are trying to cope with the thick dark silence of loneliness and begging their heart to replace the emptiness they feel.
Overall, the lyrics of the song Love Through The Night convey the feeling of misplaced love, the longing for someone who is not present, and the pain of loneliness.
