I think the night either refers to the darkness within or to the dark night of the soul. "Are you going to remain a slave for the rest of your life? Give into the night" is a way of saying that the only choice is to face the darkness or turn back and succumb to conformity.
Anybody who has devoted themselves to becoming their own person knows that the road is not paved, there is no indication of where it begins or ends, and there is no place to rest. It eventually becomes easier but there will inevitably be a time of confusion when a shadow blocks out the sun. If you fear the night you will stumble and die. If you embrace the darkness with resolve you will eventually find the light. This song embodies the moment of truth when the fate of one's soul hangs in the balance. "Are you gonna deny the savior in front of your eyes? Give into the night." This, to me, speaks of clarity within the confusion and a willingness to bear the weight of one's choices. Freedom is worth any pain or struggle one incurs along the way.
I love your post, even if it may not be particularly what I feel about the meaning, still great words ;-)... I think anyone who tries to make the world fit themselves, rather than trying to fit the world, experiences these feelings at one point or another. Though the path may not be paved, it is always much more rewarding when you make your own way, it just takes time.

This is a perfect interpretation of the song, and precisely what the lyrics mean to me. I especially love the last line in your post: "Freedom is worth any pain or struggle one incurs along the way." Thank you for deepening my understanding.

In a time, where freedom is becoming more and more scarce. It is refreshing to know that there is still people out there who truly know what freedom is all about.

As far as the meaning of the song. ArisenPhoenix is 100% correct. This song speaks about breaking away from status quo. It speaks about individuality and not always following the popular ideas.

Sometimes, even popular ideas are proven wrong. We must always be open to the possibility that there could be a much better way to doing things. That's what makes our species special. It's because we have intelligence and we can learn from previous experiences. (Even thoug, we dont always learn) Intelligence is double edged sword just as technology has brought many good things but it also has the potential to destroy us all.
"It has become appallingly clear that technology has surpassed our humanity. It is my hope that our humanity will one day surpass our technology."

@ArisenPhoenix A beautiful answer. Now all that's left to figure out is how to combine faith and freedom;)
