Discover the story of the song > Guardian Of The Night – Accept

This song is about a man who feels lonely and unhappy during the day but finds solace in the darkness of night. He feels like he doesn't have a choice in the way he feels and that his voice always trembles with sadness. The man doesn't like the sunlight because it makes him feel worse, so he considers himself a "man of the dark" and sees himself as the protector of the night. He doesn't understand why other people are happy working during the day because he has to beg, steal, or borrow to survive in his world. Despite his struggles, he finds comfort in being the guardian of the night.
