Discover the story of the song > Nights in White Satin – oceans of slumber

The song is about the protagonist's love for someone, who is referred to as 'they'. They have been writing letters to this person but never sent them. They feel that they have missed out on beauty before but they can't explain the truth about their feelings anymore. When they look at couples holding hands, they feel like no one understands what they're going through. They are being told what to think but they believe that in the end, they will become what they really want to be. Nonetheless, the protagonist loves their partner very much.
