Night So Long Lyrics
[Verse]
I say goodbye to love again
In loneliness, my only friend
In loneliness, my only fear
The nights end
Then I say goodbye to love once more
No shadow darkening the door
Until your memory is gone
The night, so, long
[Verse]
Then I say goodbye to love again
In loneliness, my only friend
In loneliness, my only fear
The nights end
Then I say goodbye to love once more
No shadow darkening the door
Until your memory is gone
The night, slow, long
[Outro]
(I say goodbye to love again) So, long
(I say goodbye to love again) So, long
(I say goodbye to love again) So, long
(I say goodbye to love again) So, long
I say goodbye to love again
In loneliness, my only friend
In loneliness, my only fear
The nights end
Then I say goodbye to love once more
No shadow darkening the door
Until your memory is gone
The night, so, long
Then I say goodbye to love again
In loneliness, my only friend
In loneliness, my only fear
The nights end
Then I say goodbye to love once more
No shadow darkening the door
Until your memory is gone
The night, slow, long
(I say goodbye to love again) So, long
(I say goodbye to love again) So, long
(I say goodbye to love again) So, long
(I say goodbye to love again) So, long

This song is comforting to me but to some I know it is very scary. Some do not want to evoke any feelings of regret or sadness.
To me, I feel safe right now. I have my dog next to me who I love dearly. I lost a pet and others I loved. I broke up with some women who I loved deeply, but who did not love me back. I have let go again and again. I am passionate by nature. I use to be attached easily. Fearing abandonment. I've worked on that and recovered greatly. Some reason I listen to this song tonight again and again. Why? Maybe the memories are never gone
"until your memory is gone"
Because of my addicted nature, I can hear something sad, lonely, fearful again and again without reacting.
Is this song a bump? Is this song like a fix? Like a drug?
Truth is I don't know the meaning of the song because it seems pretty obvious, but Haim is beautifully and simply complex. As a woman, I can appreciate their emotional complexities. Anyway even though it is obviously a sad song, I think it is comforting, honest, and terribly good.
This song is a beautiful as it is sad. My interpretation is of a relationship gone wrong. She's trying to let go of his memory, at night it's the hardest to do that. That's when your mind is winding down from the day and the memories seems to flow back. She wishes the shadow of his memory wouldn't darken her mind aka door. She feels loneliness is better for her than keeping those past memories open.
It's beautiful because that's part of life. But it's sad to think that someone can have that sort of power over your mind and body.
