Sweet Night Instrumental
V Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

On my pillow
Can't get me tired
Sharing my fragile truth
That I still hope the door is open

'Cause the window
Opened one time with you and me
Now my forever's falling down
Wondering if you'd want me now

How could I know
One day I'd wake up feeling more
But I had already reached the shore
Guess we were ships in the night
Night, night

Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo
Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo

We were ships in the night, night, night
I'm wondering
Are you my best friend
Feel's like a river's rushing through my mind
I wanna ask you
If this is all just in my head
My heart is pounding tonight
I wonder

If you
Are too good to be true
And would it be alright if I
Pulled you closer
How could I know
One day I'd wake up feeling more
But I had already reached the shore
Guess we were ships in the night
Night, night

Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo
Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo
Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo
Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo





We were ships in the night
Night, night

Overall Meaning

In V. Dorel's song "The Night", the artist conveys a message of uncertainty and longing for a lost love. The verses allude to the internal struggle of holding onto hope that the door is still open for a reconciliation with a past love. The lyrics indicate that the artist has been hurt in the past but still hopes for another chance, as represented by the image of "the window opened one time with you and me". The artist wonders if their lost love still wants them now, unsure of where they stand.


The chorus, "Guess we were ships in the night" emphasizes the idea of the missed connection with the past love, where their paths crossed for only a short time before continuing on separate journeys. The repetition of "night, night" further emphasizes a sense of loss and finality in this blossoming love, one that ended all too soon. The artist questions if their past love was possibly their best friend, attempting to make sense of their deep feelings and trying to understand if the love they felt was real.


Overall, the song evokes a sense of tenderhearted reflection on a love that didn't quite meet its full potential. The lyrics are highly relatable, even for those who may not have had the exact experience the artist sings about. The repeated sounds of "Hoo, hoo, hoo" throughout the song underline the melancholic sentiment and give the song a dreamy feel, reinforcing the emotional depth of the message.


Line by Line Meaning

On my pillow
I am lying on my pillow, unable to sleep


Can't get me tired
I am still awake even though I should be tired


Sharing my fragile truth
I am revealing my vulnerable feelings to myself


That I still hope the door is open
I am still optimistic that there is a way for us to reconnect


'Cause the window
Because that window


Opened one time with you and me
We experienced a moment together that was meaningful to me


Now my forever's falling down
My future plans with you are no longer certain


Wondering if you'd want me now
I am uncertain if you still have feelings for me


How could I know
It was impossible for me to predict


One day I'd wake up feeling more
I would develop stronger feelings for you


But I had already reached the shore
By the time I realized my feelings, it was too late


Guess we were ships in the night
We had a brief and passing encounter with each other


Night, night
Goodnight


Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo
Vocalization


We were ships in the night, night, night
We were like two ships passing in the night


I'm wondering
I am thinking


Are you my best friend
Do you still care about me as a friend?


Feel's like a river's rushing through my mind
I am overwhelmed with emotions


I wanna ask you
I want to know


If this is all just in my head
If my thoughts are just my imagination


My heart is pounding tonight
I am feeling anxious and nervous


If you
If you feel the same way


Are too good to be true
If your feelings are genuine


And would it be alright if I
If I was honest with you


Pulled you closer
If I expressed my feelings more physically
