Waiting For The Night
VAN BUUREN ARMIN/FIORA Lyrics

In "Waiting for The Night," Armin Van Buuren and Fiora express their emotional state with metaphors that describe a rollercoaster of feelings, attachments, and regrets, while waiting for the night to come. The opening lines, "Shoot me down and I'll get up again. Emotion running high with double meaning," suggest that the pain caused by shooting words of rejection or criticism is too much to handle at times. However, one can also interpret the fact that she gets up again as a sign of resilience and ability to overcome the obstacles.

As the song unfolds, the duo sings, "Push and shove against the thoughts you left me with. Every picture of regret my expectation. Your emotions can't hide behind those eyes. Conversations come quick to steal me back again." Here, they reveal the power of unrequited love that keeps them entrapped in this emotional cycle. They are hoping for this spell to break, and they could find their freedom in the night where "the light shines brightest."

In the chorus, "We're always waiting for the night/So come with me where we can go where the light shines brightest," they imply that the night brings a sense of comfort, understanding, and a chance to move on from the past mistakes. Furthermore, the repeated notion of staying all night and running away together conveys a transient, fleeting moment that will only last until the morning sun.

Overall, "Waiting for The Night" is an honest portrayal of waiting for closure, acceptance, and a chance to heal from a relationship's impact.
