Crystalnight Lyrics
(Crystalnight)
When we walked in the sun
And we spoke with our eyes
Knowing what was to come
In the season of ice
When we walked in the sun
And talked in the sun
And we knew everything.
When we lived in a time
That's eluded us now
We try hard to return
But nobody knows how
When we lived in a time
And loved in a time
And we had everything.
(Crystalnight)
Mmmmh, and we knew everything
(Crystalnight)
Now the tables have turned
And the seasons have passed
We have wasted our lives
And strayed from the path
That we walked in the sun
When we talked in the sun
And we had everything
When we walked in the sun
And we spoke with our eyes
Knowing what was to come
In the season of ice
When we walked in the sun
And talked in the sun
And we knew everything
Mmmmh, and we knew everything
Now haven't you heard, haven't you heard?
(Crystalnight)
We're a part of the night.
Now haven't you heard, haven't you heard?
(Crystalnight)
We're a part of the night.
Now haven't you heard, haven't you heard?
We're a part of the night.
And we spoke with our eyes
Knowing what was to come
In the season of ice
When we walked in the sun
And talked in the sun
And we knew everything.
That's eluded us now
We try hard to return
But nobody knows how
When we lived in a time
And loved in a time
And we had everything.
And the seasons have passed
We have wasted our lives
And strayed from the path
That we walked in the sun
When we talked in the sun
And we had everything
And we spoke with our eyes
Knowing what was to come
In the season of ice
When we walked in the sun
And talked in the sun
And we knew everything
(Crystalnight)
We're a part of the night.
(Crystalnight)
We're a part of the night.
We're a part of the night.

This song is so nebulous, it's hard to know. Does Crystalnight refer to Germany's 1938 Krystalnaught, the infamous evening Reichmiesters decimated Jewish businesses-- breaking glass, looting, burning.
Or is it about a failed relationship? A relationship ("when we walked in the sun", sun warmth and radiance of love) which protagonists say was better than anything ("we have wasted lives and strayed from the path") they've had since?
Or is it (don't shoot me) about our relationship with Love himself? As children, having some awareness our emotional freedom would dimish as, according to the narrative of Peter Pan, we eventually "matured" into selfish, destructive, and, in some cases myopic, pirates?
I don't know...but I like it!
yes it does. It refers to all the knowledge burned and how the start of hatred started. the books represent the sun and the hatred represents the season of ice. and the night refers to the past, it is history.
