Tonight
Nocturnal Revelry: Unveiling the Intrigue of Supergrass's 'Tonight'
Lyrics
We're goin' to the party and you never wanna leave it tonight,
We're going to a party, and you have no intention of leaving it tonight.
Ya come and see the band, I know it means I should push it tonight,
Come and watch the band perform; I understand it implies I should make a move tonight.
You know it's just a feeling, but I know I'm gonna see her tonight,
Although it's just a feeling, I am confident that I will meet her tonight.
Yeah, and everybody knows I'm never gonna get a sleep with tonight
Everyone is aware that I won't be getting any sleep tonight.
She said when,
Referring to a conversation where "she" mentions a specific time.
I said why,
Asking for the reason behind her statement.
Yeah, tonight!
Expressing enthusiasm for the events happening tonight.
We're goin' to a party and you never wanna leave it tonight,
We're heading to a party, and reluctance to leave is emphasized again.
You wanna see the band playin' music, bodies pushin' tonight,
Desire to witness the band's performance with bodies moving in the crowd tonight.
Yeah, I know it's just a feeling that I know I'm gonna see her tonight,
Confidently anticipating meeting someone special tonight.
And everybody knows you're gonna follow me around tonight,
Belief that someone will be following closely throughout the night.
She said when,
Referring to "her" mentioning a specific time once again.
I said why,
Repeating the inquiry about the reason behind her statement.
Tonight, I went dry, yeah, tonight
Tonight, things took a dry turn, possibly indicating a change in mood or atmosphere.
And a gun in his hand
Introducing a character with a gun in hand, suggesting a potential conflict or danger.
And he's looking at mine
The character is eyeing the speaker's possession.
And he two foot two
Describing the height of the person with the gun (two foot two).
But you don't know where I am,
Uncertainty about the speaker's location, adding suspense to the narrative.
When you see what I've been through,
Suggesting that the speaker has been through challenging experiences.
And he's phoning his cab
The person with the gun is calling for a cab, seemingly unaffected.
When he's seemingly fine
Despite appearances, the character has noticed the speaker.
But he's seen me too,
Confirmation that the character has seen the speaker.
But you don't know what you are when you see what I've been through,
Reiterating that others don't understand the speaker's experiences.
She said when,
"She" mentions a specific time again, possibly signaling a significant event.
I said why,
The speaker repeats the question about the reason behind her statement.
Yeah, tonight!
Expressing enthusiasm for the events happening tonight, despite potential challenges.
She said when, I said why, Tonight, I went dry, yeah tonight
Reiteration of the specific time mentioned by "she," and a sense of dryness or emptiness persists tonight.
