The Night
The Walkers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The moving '
Has come through
The danger
Brushin you
Turns its face
Into the heat
And runs
Its so cold
The dark
Dug up
By dogs
The stitches
Torn and broke
The raw meat fist
You choke
Has hit
The bloodlight
Glass traps
Open and close
On night flights
Broken necks
Feather weights
Press the walls
Be my love
We will be GODS
On night flights
With
Only one promise
Only one way
To fall
The Walkers' song "The Night" appears to evoke a sense of foreboding and impending danger. The opening lines, "There's no hold, the moving's come through," suggest a loss of control and a sense of inevitability. The danger is "brushing" the listener, as if it is lurking right around the corner. The danger turns its face into the heat and runs towards the tunnels. It's so cold and dark, as if a place for those who have lost control altogether. The imagery of dark tunnels being dug up by dogs and stitches being torn and broke contributes to a sense of violence and harm. The raw meat fist that chokes the listener has hit with the bloodlight. The glass traps that open and close on night flights evoke a sense of claustrophobia and entrapment. Broken necks and feather weights add to a sense of fragility and danger. Pressing the walls is almost as if the listener is trying to hold on for dear life, but ultimately be swallowed up by the darkness.
However, despite all of this darkness and danger, there is a sense of determination and hope. The listener is encouraged to "be my love" and "we will be GODS on night flights." This promises a release from the danger and darkness, and perhaps the freedom to finally transcend and become something greater. There is only one promise and one way to fall, which almost seems to suggest that the listener is being led into something that is both dangerous and exciting. It is a song that manages to balance both fear and hope while presenting a dark and mysterious world.

AlanAndJustin Long
@Sater Daenerys forgetting about the Greyjoy fleet.
The Greyjoy catapult things being deadly in one episode then feeble and useless In the next one.
Daenerys suddenly turning bad.
Arya abandoning her quest for Vengeance seconds before she had the chance to get that revenge.
Arya killing the night king after leaping out of nowhere. The whole show was set up for it to be Jon.
Jon not objecting to being exiled.
The dumbing down of Baelish, Tyrion and Varys.
Cersei just doing nothing for an entire season and not attempting to kill Daenerys when she had 2 opportunities.
Bron doing nothing for an entire season.
The Hound seeing something in the fire in a pub
Tyrion suggesting that Bran should be king because he had the best story and everyone else agreeing. Had Tyrion and Bran ever even interacted before? And if Bran had the best story, why was he not even in it for a WHOLE season?
That white horse that Arya found.
The sudden feebleness of the dothraki and unsullied.
There.
Brandon Layne

Christian charles
There shall be no Summer
There shall be no Houses
There shall be no King
The weak shall die and the strong will tremble
Your crops shall dry and your castles shall crumble
Bloodlines will end and dynasties shall fall
And Your prayers shall be met with utter silence
The Winds of Winter will conquer all
Swords is passed from father to son
Soon they'll dull and break like the Will of men
There shall be no dawn for any of you
"Summer is ended, Winter has Come!"

This scene is so wonderfully shot and written. One blast and they feel joy. Two blasts they whip out their swords and get hardened. The third blast is pure terror
RENZEENO
@GrumpyMonkeyEnterprises its crazy but they reacted way too quickly. The thought that it would actually be walkers shoudnt seem serious ir they should atleast let it digest for a second but they scream run in a second like it happens everyday
A Jaded Lizard
@Barney Den stad Anytime. I'm pretty sure Martin calls it shit in the book anyway, so you weren't wrong there either.
Flahoo ?
Honestly the three blast system is such an effective way of striking terror into peoples hearts
Barney Den stad
@A Jaded Lizard Tx for explaining. So its as I guessed... Tx also for the proper word, manure.
A Jaded Lizard
@Barney Den stad They're collecting manure, which will burn. You can use it for fires.

Poor Sam, even the White walkers didn't want him
Chris Fry
@Matthew Polis And as others have said it is all perspective, you can see the camera as it pans out after he raises his spear thing and screeches then it pans back they were to Sams right and he was behind! the big boulder and he was not seen.
The Imp
He's Sam the Slayer
Hiro99
So Sam is supposed to be hiding behind the big rock right in front of their pathway that they’ll be walking by in about ten seconds? In either case, I don’t see how they didn’t see him or let him live.
