Nightwalker is about night terrors and sleep walking. The song doesn't really follow any narrative. The lyrical content is quite random in nature. The verses are wavy and soft musically with a full vocal and the choruses are heavy and chaotic but with a soft vocal. Its all supposed to represent the random and chaos of dreaming especially for those who suffer from sleep walking and night terrors. My wife Viki often jumps out of bed in the night and thinks our cats have runaway or have been harmed. She often has powerful hallucinations where she thinks something is in the room and she seems lucid but is actually still asleep and doesn't remember them in the morning. She occasionally has lucid dreams as well where she knows she is dreaming. It is just a fascinating concept for me because I have never experienced anything like it myself.
lyrics
Oh I was born
Under the waning moon
No special lights
No fanfare to welcome me to this life
Left by myself
But you steered me right
Time after time
It feels like more than friends
When I wake you're here again
Nightwalker, and I
Bring me kindling
And I'll set something alight
'Cause I'm sleepwalking tonight
I couldn't be sure
How could I know?
There's no handbook to guide me to my goals
Left on my own
But you steered me right
Time after time.
Nightwalker, and I
Bring me kindling
And I'll set something alight
'Cause I'm sleepwalking tonight
'Cause I'm sleepwalking tonight
'Cause I'm sleepwalking
Oh I was born
Under the waning moon
But you steered me right
Time after time
Nightwalker, and I
Bring me kindling
And I'll set something alight
'Cause I'm sleepwalking tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
