When the day is done and there's nowhere to run And the people of the city have all lost and won In your city dress you stand and stare And you smoke another cigarette and comb your hair ^ This part is when the Cabal attack, the line "you smoke another cigarette and comb your hair" I assume would refer to you rushing to the scene And the light that shines Paints a trace of sadness On the street I wait But I can't seem to get to you. Well, you start to sway, check your Cartier 'Cause it's getting late, you can't afford to wait So you move along where it's going on ^ This is after Ghaul knocks you off the ship and you slowly walk to find your Ghost And the people of the night are playing 'til the dawn And the sun that shines Paints a trace of sadness In your eyes that cry Wishing and hoping ^ This is meeting Hawthorne and getting your powers back (the sun that shines) Oh Sweet, sweet is the night Now you are near Dark, dark were the days They disappear Sweet, sweet is the night Now you are near. ^ Chorus Well you did your thing and you lost your wings And you hurt so bad you lost everything And the tears that fall on the city wall Will fade away with the rays of morning light that shines Paints a smile across your pretty face I know Everything is alright Alright ^ You lost your wings (light) and you hurt so bad you lost everything (tower) city wall (obviously, the last city's wall) the rays of morning light that shine, everything is alright (again, getting your powers back even though its out of order it has the same meaning in the song) Sweet, sweet is the night Now you are near Dark, dark were the days They disappear Sweet, sweet is the night Now you are near. ^ Just the chorus again but I guess it could mean the traveller's awakening, saying the dark days disappear. Obviously, the song was made years before Destiny 2 but you can't deny the similarities. Its probably just a coincidence that the song and the game seem so alike and I'm probably crazy but I thought it was cool.
