Lyric discussion by theskyhasclaws 

Just for the record:

"You may be acquainted with the night" is a reference to Robert Frost's poem, "I have been acquainted with the night." At the moment I don't have anything more to say on its significance, but there may be something interesting there, if anybody cares to look.

I noticed that too yay! Thought it was just me because I wrote a thesis on that poem :) here it is, so no one has to leave this beautiful website

I have been one acquainted with the night. I have walked out in rain -- and back in rain. I have outwalked the furthest city light.

I have looked down the saddest city lane. I have passed by the watchman on his beat And dropped my eyes, unwilling to explain.
