Nocturnal Lyrics

Street lights, turn on one by one
My hope is, descending like the sun
Try to tell myself there's
Freedom in the loneliness (oh baby)
Always restless, story of my life
Disconnected, body clock's not right
Try to tell myself that, I'ma get some sleep tonight

Found myself where I started, yeah
This isn't where I want to be
The time that I find hardest, yeah
Always comes eventually

My shadow doesn't show in the dark
The night time is inclined to my heart
The emptiness I felt from the start
Will follow me till I fall apart
Nocturnal (oh)
Nocturnal (oh)
Nocturnal (oh)
Nocturnal (oh)

My demons are blocking out the light
And my mind is, about to loose the fight
Why can't I find peace, when a caracal could sleep tonight, yea
Your absence, isn't something that I choose, yeah (choose, choose choose)
But he truth is, you were never mine to loose (loose, loose, loose)
Said that I feel lifeless, tryna get away from you
Oh baby, oh

Found myself where I started, yeah
This isn't where I want to be
The time that I find hardest, yeah
Always comes eventually (woo-hoo)

My shadow doesn't show in the dark
The night time is inclined to my heart
The emptiness I felt from the start
Will follow me till I fall apart
Nocturnal (oh)
Nocturnal (oh)
Nocturnal (oh)
Nocturnal (oh)

Nocturnal (oh)
Nocturnal (oh)
Nocturnal (oh)
Nocturnal (oh)

Oh-ooh yeah

Oh, baby, oh

Uh, my shadow doesn't show in the dark
The night time is inclined to my heart
The emptiness I felt from the start
Will follow me till I fall apart
Nocturnal (oh)
Nocturnal (oh)
Nocturnal (oh)
Nocturnal (oh)

What is the Meaning of Nocturnal?

When the moon rises, so do the inner demons of our nocturnal crooner. This song is a haunting serenade to insomnia, loneliness and unrequited love. Our protagonist battles his inner turmoil, struggling for peace in the witching hours. He's caught in a cycle of despair, returning to where he started - alone in the dark. His heart syncs with the night, echoing his emptiness and longing for a love that was never truly his. Yet within this melancholy melody, there's an acceptance of his fate; he knows these feelings will follow him until he falls apart. A poignant reminder that sometimes our darkest hours are not outside, but within us. #LonelyNights #UnrequitedLove #InsomniacMusings
