Voices In The Night
The Generators Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The junk yard dog starts barking
Another crime got committed down there
Bolt the windows and lock the doors
I think somebody's walkin around here
Voices in the night (3x)
Lying down by the river side
A Jane Doe's unknown ending
Somebody's got blood on their hands Tonigt
Chorus:
I heard the Voices in the Night
As the Razor blade cuts down another life
I heard the Voices in the Night
As the Razor blade cuts down another life
Voices in the night (3x)
(repeat verse 1)
Found her lifeless body
Lying down by the river side
A Jane Doe's unknown ending
In a world of murder and crime
Murder and crime (4x)
Chorus
We're all living in the world of Murder and Crime
You can hear the voices
The Voices in the night (2x)
The lyrics to The Generators' song "Voices in the Night" depict a world that is dark, dangerous, and full of crime. Sirens are ringing, and a junkyard dog is barking, signaling that something bad has happened. The singer urges the listener to bolt the windows and lock the doors, as they believe that someone is walking around outside. The chorus suggests that the singer has heard the "Voices in the Night" leading to another murder. The verses speak of a woman's lifeless body lying next to a river, seemingly without any context or explanation.
The song's lyrics paint a bleak and dystopian picture of modernity, where we're surrounded by constant danger and violence. We never know when something bad might happen, and we must always be on guard. The song's message seems to be that crime and violence are pervasive issues that affect us all, whether we realize it or not. The "Voices in the Night" might be echoing the perpetrator's own internal monologue, or perhaps they're a collective commentary on the social issues that give rise to crime and violence.
