Here's more interesting things in songs and lyrics tied to Bruce Springsteen or about the 1970s in general.

You get up every morning at the sound of the bell
You get to work late and the boss man’s giving you hell
Till you’re out on a midnight run
Losing your heart to a beautiful one
And it feels right as you lock up the house
Turn out the lights and step out into the night

And the world is busting at its seams
And you’re just a prisoner of your dreams
Holding on for your life ’cause you work all day
To blow ’em away in the night

The rat traps filled with soul crusaders
The circuits lined and jammed with chromed invaders
And she’s so pretty that you’re lost in the stars
As you jockey your way through the cars
And sit at the light, as it changes to green
With your faith in your machine off you scream into the night

And you’re in love with all the wonder it brings
And every muscle in your body sings as the highway ignites
You work nine to five and somehow you survive till the night
Hell all day they’re busting you up on the outside
But tonight you’re gonna break on through to the inside
And it’ll be right, it’ll be right, and it’ll be tonight

And you know she will be waiting there
And you’ll find her somehow you swear
Somewhere tonight you run sad and free
Until all you can see is the night

About Lyrics and Night by Bruce Springsteen

The lyrics for Night are made up of the words, verses and background chorus for the popular 1975 song by Bruce Springsteen. Like a lot of songs, the lyrics to Night have both direct meanings and metaphorical context hidden within the song's words. All of the meanings are only truly known by the creators of the lyrics for Night - Bruce Springsteen and any of the writers who worked with them on the song.

If you have an interest in the structure of words and phrases, you can dissect the lyrics to Night by Bruce Springsteen in multiple ways. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to Night" means the words set to the music of Night, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by Bruce Springsteen. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics. Hence, by this analysis of word structure, you could say that the lyric to Night and the lyrics to Night are both one and the same thing. None of this talk about the word Lyrics is really relevant to fans of Bruce Springsteen who came here looking just for the lyrics to Night, but we feel it is still fun to learn what's behind commonly used words and lyrics in songs.
