Lyrics for Nocturnal Me as interpreted by delial

Nocturnal Me Lyrics
In an ice-capped fire
Of burning wood
In a world of wire
Ignites our dreams of starry skies
And you and me
Us realized, our bigger themes

Take me internally
Forever yours
Nocturnal me
Take me internally
Forever yours
Nocturnal me

Do or die
What's done is done
True beauty lies
On the blue horizon
Who or what
What's won is won
Impure disguise
Our vulgar sons

Take me internally
Forever yours
Nocturnal me
Take me internally
Forever yours
Nocturnal me

Whatever burns, burns eternally
So take me in turns internally
When I'm on fire, my body will be
Forever yours
Nocturnal me

In an ice-capped fire
Of burning wood
In a world of wire
Ignites our dreams of starry skies
And you and me
Us realized, our bigger themes

Take me internally
Forever yours
Nocturnal me
Take me internally
Forever yours
Nocturnal me

My favourite song ever, along with Ocean Rain, both coming from the best album of all-time: Ocean Rain. Oh how I adore Echo & The Bunnymen, Ian's my hero, the only idol I have in life.
As for this song: I think it is just about imaginary scenes, about a dreamy atmosphere. "an ice-capped fire on burning wood" sounds so beautiful yet also very surreal. I think the song just tries to create a surreal imaginary landscape full of beauty and full of dreams. Apart from that, Ian told it was an ode to the night, written in a time he was often awake and writing at nighttime.

I also enjoy this song a lot and it really owns a 'nocturnal' atmosphere, not only in terms of lyrics but in terms of sound too. Well, I'm a big fan from this band but I hardly, hardly can get the point on most Ian's lyrics (well, I'm not exactly fluent in English anyway...). This being said, I can try to expose my impression about this - surprise, surprise! - enigmatic one. I think Ian is showing to us that when the night falls our real identities are revealed to ourselves and we feel free to be who we really are ("...impure disguise / our vulgar sons...") and to think about what should really matter in our own lives ("...and you and me / us realized, our bigger themes..."), since the dark of the night would force us to make a big movement of introspection. Besides, the night owns that perfect characteristic for leaving us to be as intense as you can be ("...whatever burns, burns eternally / so take me in turns internally / when I'm on fire, my body will be / forever yours / nocturnal me...").

I meant "Besides, the night owns that perfect characteristic for leaving us to be as intense as WE can be". Sorry again.

For some reason this song always reminds me of tsarist Russia circa 1900. In my mind's eye - I wasn't there, of course - but still.

I can't pin down how or why, but that's what I get out of it.

This is one of the songs Ian wrote while suffering insomnia caused by his OCD. Or so I've read.
