Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The Famous Flame's "Night Train" are an impassioned plea for a lover to remember all the good things that the singer has done for them and to not leave them. The song begins with the singer asking their lover to consider the sacrifices they've made for them and the good things they've done. They acknowledge that there have been wrong things on both sides, but implore the lover to focus on the good things. The singer questions how much of the lover's happiness they can really claim and how many tears the lover has shed that they were responsible for. Despite all of this, the singer asserts that they are the one who loves the lover and asks them to remember this before leaving.


The tone of the song is desperate and urgent, with the repetition of "think" serving as a refrain throughout the song. The singer is trying to convince their lover to stay and remember all the good things that they've shared. They're willing to admit fault but ultimately want the lover to recognize their love and what they've brought to the relationship.


Overall, "Night Train" is a classic example of a soulful, emotional plea for love and understanding in the face of trouble. The repeated refrain of "think" drives home the importance of reflection and consideration in relationships, and the raw emotion in the vocals adds to the power of the song.
