The World Starts Tonight
Embracing Love's Renewal: The World Awakens Tonight
Lyrics
Tonight I'm gonna love you
Tonight the speaker expresses the intention to love someone.
Tonight I'm gonna try
The speaker reiterates the commitment to try and make things work tonight.
Tonight I will take my foot off that brake
Expressing the desire to overcome obstacles represented by the metaphorical "brake" in the relationship.
Cause you made me grasp
The speaker acknowledges that the other person has helped them understand something important.
What is over is past
Recognizing the importance of moving on from the past.
And the world starts tonight
Anticipation of a new beginning, symbolized by "the world starts tonight."
Oooh oooh oooh the world starts tonight
Repetition of the anticipation of a fresh start.
Tonight I'm gonna love you
Reiteration of the commitment to love tonight.
Tonight I know I'll find
Expressing confidence in finding love tonight.
That the world still goes on
Acknowledging that life continues despite past difficulties.
Just a part of it's gone
Recognizing that some aspects of life have changed or are missing.
Cause you made me grasp
Repeating the acknowledgment of the other person's influence on the speaker's understanding.
What is over is past
Reiterating the importance of leaving the past behind.
And the world starts tonight
Anticipating a new beginning, similar to line 6.
Oooh oooh oooh the world starts tonight
Repetition of the anticipation of a fresh start.
Baby, oh baby, I made a mistake
The speaker admits to making a mistake in the past.
I thought love was something, they no longer made
Expressing a previous belief that love was scarce or nonexistent.
But since you have brought back, some love to my eyes
Recognizing that the other person has brought love back into the speaker's life.
My doubting of people, no longer applies
Feeling a change in perspective towards people and trust.
Tonight I will take my foot off that brake
Reiteration of the desire to overcome obstacles represented by the metaphorical "brake" in the relationship.
'Cause you made me grasp
Reaffirming the other person's influence on the speaker's understanding.
What is over is past
Emphasizing the importance of leaving the past behind.
And the world starts tonight
Anticipation of a new beginning, similar to lines 6 and 15.
Oooh oooh oooh the world starts tonight
Repetition of the anticipation of a fresh start.
Oooh oooh oooh the world starts tonight
