Most people here got some of the meaning of the song Night correct--working a dead end job on the weekdays to go out on the weekend nights and blow all your money in some hope that your life will change--but they missed the last very important line--You know she'll be waiting there--You'll find her someway you swear--Somewhere tonight you run sad and free until all you can see is the night---those lines rip away all the romanticism of the rest of the build-up--he is saying that youthful blind hope leads to permanent darkness as you get older--the person he is writing about is alone--free but sad--the flip side of the man in Born to Run--at least he had a plan--let's get the hell out of here, Wendy!
@saintrave You nailed it, the girl he's singing about lives only in his imagination. I was that guy driving the Jersey highways late at night, dreaming of that girl, wanting to get lost in the stars..l.

@saintrave I still struggle to understand whether the the female character in the song is real or not.
It seems to be real when he sings "And she's so pretty that you're lost in the stars" or "And you're in love with all the wonder it brings
And every muscle in your body sings as the highway ignites".
But unreal here: "And you know she will be waiting there
And you'll find her somehow you swear".
I am utterly puzzled.
