Meaning of Tonightless by Eighteen Visions

We'll be tonightless

We won't have tonight

We can't wait another moment

Impatience, a desire for the anticipated moment

Our time will come before we know it

The awaited time will arrive unexpectedly

With your heart you've got to open up this time

Encouragement to be emotionally vulnerable

I don't want to be alone tonight

Expressing a fear of solitude

Am I gonna be tonightless again?

Questioning the prospect of being alone tonight

All of the loneliness has got to end

Desire for an end to loneliness

I know the years have been so bittersweet

Acknowledging the mixed emotions of past years

But you don't have to go so please don't leave

Pleading for the person not to leave

Our souls are lost without each other

Highlighting the interdependence of souls

We've gotta find time to recover

Recognition of the need for healing and renewal

And If you hold me close this heartache will subside

Seeking solace in physical closeness

I don't want to be alone tonight

Reiteration of the fear of being alone

Am I gonna be tonightless again?

Repeating the concern about being alone tonight

All of the loneliness has got to end

Reiteration of the desire for an end to loneliness

I know the years have been so bittersweet

Reiteration of the complex emotions over the years

But you don't have to go so please don't leave

Repeating the plea not to leave
