Nights In White Satin
The Mkoody Blues Lyrics

Nights in white satin

Never reaching the end
Despite the passing time, the experiences in the night never seem to conclude.

Letters I've written
The singer has penned many letters, but none have had a concrete purpose or meaning.

Never meaning to send
The letters have been written with no intention of ever delivering them.

Beauty I'd always missed
The singer realizes that he has failed to recognize beauty in the past.

With these eyes before
The singer acknowledges that he was previously blind to the beauty around him.

Just what the truth is
The singer is at a loss to explain what the truth actually is.

I can't say anymore
The singer is unable to articulate his feelings any further.

'Cause I love you
The singer admits his deep love for someone.

Yes I love you
The singer affirms his feelings of love.

Oh, how I love you
The singer expresses the depth and intensity of his love.

Gazing at people
The singer observes people around him as he wanders through the night.

Some hand in hand
The singer sees couples walking together.

Just what I'm going through
The singer recognizes that others cannot understand his own experiences and feelings.

They can't understand
The singer acknowledges that others cannot fully comprehend his innermost thoughts and emotions.

Some try to tell me
Despite the lack of understanding, some people attempt to offer advice or commentary.

Thoughts they cannot defend
However, their thoughts and opinions are based on incomplete information and cannot be supported or defended.

Just what you want to be
The singer reflects on the idea that people can become whoever they wish to be.

You will be in the end
Ultimately, a person's true identity and destiny will be revealed over time.

Breathe deep the gathering gloom
The singer encourages listeners to inhale the ominous and melancholic atmosphere around them.

Watch lights fade from every room
As darkness falls, the lights in rooms slowly disappear.

Bed sitter people look back and lament
People confined to cramped urban apartments often look back with sadness and regret at what might have been.

Another days useless energy spent
People lament the pointless, wasted time they have spent on the same unrewarding routines.

Impassioned lovers wrestle as one
In contrast, passionate lovers express their love through physical intimacy.

Lonely man cries for love and has none
However, not everyone is able to find a fulfilling relationship, and some are left feeling lonely and unloved.

New mother picks up and suckles her son
A new mother is nurturing and caring for her infant child.

Senior citizens wish they were young
Elderly people often long for the vigor and vitality of youth.

Cold hearted orb that rules the night
The singer uses poetic language to describe the moon, which controls the night and its emotions.

Removes the colors from our sight
In the moonlight, everything is reduced to shades of gray and white.

Red is gray and yellow white
The colors of the world are muted and changed in the pale moonlight.

But we decide which is right
Despite the muted colors, individuals still have the power to interpret and assign meaning to the world around them.

And which is an illusion
However, some of the interpretations we make may be based more on our own perceptions and biases rather than reality.
