Avicii – The Nights

·2 mins

Lyrics:

Once upon a younger year
When all our shadows disappeared
The animals inside came out to play
Went face to face with all our fears
Learned our lessons through the tears
Made memories we knew would never fade

One day my father, he told me
"Son, don't let it slip away"
He took me in his arms, I heard him say
"When you get older
Your wild heart will live for younger days
Think of me if ever you're afraid"

He said: "One day you'll leave this world behind
So live a life you will remember"
My father told me when I was just a child
"These are the nights that never die"
My father told me

When thunder clouds start pouring down
Light a fire they can't put out
Carve your name into those shining stars
He said: "Go venture far beyond the shores
Don't forsake this life of yours
I'll guide you home, no matter where you are"

One day my father, he told me
"Son, don't let it slip away"
When I was just a kid, I heard him say
"When you get older
Your wild heart will live for younger days
Think of me if ever you're afraid"

He said: "One day you'll leave this world behind
So live a life you will remember"
My father told me when I was just a child
"These are the nights that never die"
My father told me

"These are the nights that never die"
My father told me
My father told me

Hotel California

Hotel California is such a beautiful song. And its deep meaning can apply to pretty much any situation. I have been especially thinking of the last line, “You can checkout anytime you like, but you can never leave.” A lot of people think this song is about drugs and Hollywood life that is hard to leave. But it can apply to anything. One can never leave their corporate life, they are stuck there forever because they got bills, family, and fear of going on their own. So they can mentally checkout anytime they like, but they can never leave.

As I turn back, my eyes dampen When I realized my incomplete life My life became clear to me Broken promises Deserted dreams Broken promises Seek time's tender shade Yesterday too, was in ruins Now is deserted as well Life asks for a moment of support Damp memories Won't let me sleep due to grief Damp memories Won't let me live.
