Surviving The Night
Zeno Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Surviving the night
Waiting for the light
Longing for the one I love

Went down in the cool of the night
Still hope it'll be alright
Told her that I've been doing wrong
Door bang and I stand in the rain
Feels like I'm getting insane
No real point in living on

So easy for you to leave me in the night
So tough for a man to cast his pride aside - oh baby

Surviving the night
Waiting for the light
Longing for the one I love
Surviving the night
Waiting for a sign
Saving me tonight, oh baby

Struck down by the look in your eyes
Telling me that I should realize
I was too blind to see it all
My love, don't you send me away
I'm begging believe what I say
I didn't mean to hurt your soul





Don't turn your back on someone lying on the ground
Don't sacrifice our love and don't you let me down

Overall Meaning

The song "Surviving the Night" by Zeno is about a man who is struggling to come to terms with his mistakes and his longing for the person he loves. The first verse talks about how the man is waiting for the light and longing for his lover, suggesting that he feels lost and alone. He then goes on to describe a scene where he is standing in the rain after admitting to his lover that he has been doing something wrong, possibly cheating on her. He feels like there is no point in living on, and he questions why it is so easy for her to leave him in the night, yet so tough for him to cast his pride aside.


In the chorus, Zeno sings about surviving the night and waiting for the light, which could represent the hope that the man has that his lover will forgive him and they can move on from his mistake. He also sings about longing for the one he loves and waiting for a sign, further emphasizing the man's desperation for his lover's forgiveness. The second verse describes how the man was struck down by the look in his lover's eyes when she realized that he had been unfaithful. He begs her not to send him away and to believe what he says, insisting that he didn't mean to hurt her soul. He pleads with her not to turn her back on him when he is lying on the ground, and not to sacrifice their love.

è impressionante cogliere quanti riferimenti ci siano di altri gruppi musicali che fisseranno un suono ed un genere; e tutto questo passa attraverso questo musicista. Meraviglioso.

@michaelcosyngroup886

Tommy Heart was a perfect fit for Zeno. I like some of Flexig for sure, but I like Heart's voice better.

@vifaal10

Tommy Heart singing?

@michaelcosyngroup886

Yes, it sounds much better than Flexig's version. Flexig's good, but this song is better suited for Heart.
