The Night
Yael Meyer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I no longer fear the night
At last I am sleeping soundly
Guided by the light of your might, of your might
The moon in the sky so brightly
Shines through my window pane
How peaceful and gentle is your sweet embrace
And all of the fears that I hold on to so dearly
Slowly begin to fade
Because I know that the sound of your voice is around
Guiding my way
Far from the city noises
I dive into my own dream land
Where sweetly my heart rejoices
In the peaceful and gentle waters of your love
Of your love, of your love, of your love
The opening lines of the song suggest a feeling of security and comfort in the quiet hours of the night. The moon is represented as a source of guidance and reassurance, offering a sense of peace and protection. The singer's fear of the night has dissipated and they are able to sleep easily, comforted by the knowledge that they are not alone. As the moon illuminates the darkness, the singer finds solace in the light of their loved one's strength and energy (represented by "the light of your might").
The singer goes on to describe the gentle beauty of the moonlight, which seems to fill their room with a sense of calm. The fears that they have been holding onto "so dearly" are slowly fading away, as they feel the presence of their loved one's voice guiding them through the darkness. In this way, the moon becomes a symbol not only of physical light, but of emotional guidance as well.
The final verse brings the singer even deeper into this dreamlike state, as they escape the noise of the city and enter into their own inner world of blissful tranquility. They rejoice in the peaceful love that surrounds them, feeling safe and secure in the knowledge that they are guided and protected by their loved one's presence.
Overall, the lyrics of "The Night" are a beautiful exploration of the way that the moon and the night can offer a sense of comfort and guidance, particularly when we are able to connect with the people that we love.

Saltar, correr, gritar, desencadenarse y ser libre. Volar lejos, correr sin límites... ser feliz, sentirse pleno
