It sounds like he's dealing with someone that he loves and respects a great deal but who shows him disdain in return, someone that takes joy in feeding off of the energy of others. He doesn't want to fight this person, he doesn't want to have to defend himself from this person, but circumstances have made it necessary. He's too conflicted to simply turn away or retaliate so he focuses on sustaining the fire within him as long as he can (alongside the others who are being exploited). |

Sorry, I realize I messed up one of the lyrics I quoted: "Are you gonna deny the savior in front of your eyes? Stare into the night" |

| Disturbed – The Night Lyrics

I think the night either refers to the darkness within or to the dark night of the soul. "Are you going to remain a slave for the rest of your life? Give into the night" is a way of saying that the only choice is to face the darkness or turn back and succumb to conformity.
Anybody who has devoted themselves to becoming their own person knows that the road is not paved, there is no indication of where it begins or ends, and there is no place to rest. It eventually becomes easier but there will inevitably be a time of confusion when a shadow blocks out the sun. If you fear the night you will stumble and die. If you embrace the darkness with resolve you will eventually find the light. This song embodies the moment of truth when the fate of one's soul hangs in the balance. "Are you gonna deny the savior in front of your eyes? Give into the night." This, to me, speaks of clarity within the confusion and a willingness to bear the weight of one's choices. Freedom is worth any pain or struggle one incurs along the way. |
