One of THOSE Nights
The Cab Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Word is I got away and now I must be caught
Don't leave, take it from me
I've been more than a king
I can't take that, I can't take that
I'm going crazy and I've been awake for days
My mirrors are stained with pain and portraits of your face
Don't leave, take it from me,
You're my dirty disease.
My flat-lined inhibition is my ammunition
I'm just fighting to get by
Just give me some direction
I'll be your affection
How could you leave me behind?
I'm a mess and
Your words just give me time
To give you a waste of time
One of those nights
When you leave me for no reason
I'll give you a reason
If seconds heal the wounds
I'll put these tips on you
I brought apologies, I tied in a bouquet
Just to find out that my face had been replaced
Deceived, it was a breeze,
I was tossed to the street
I can't take that, I can't take that
My flat-lined inhibition is my ammunition
I'm just fighting to get by
Just give me some direction
I'll be your affection
How could you leave me behind?
I'm a mess and
Your words just give me time
To give you a waste of time
One of those nights
When you leave me for no reason
I'll give you a reason
I'm a mess and
Your words just give me time
To give you a waste of time
One of those nights
When you leave me for no reason
I'll give you a reason
If seconds heal the wounds
I'll put these tips on you
When faith is left to prove
It's all you have to lose.
I'm a mess and
Your words just give me time
To give you a waste of time
One of those nights
When you leave me for no reason
I'll give you a reason
I'm a mess and
Your words just give me time
To give you a waste of time
One of those nights
When you leave me for no reason
I'll give you a reason
The Cab's "One of THOSE Nights" is a heart-wrenching song about a relationship that is on the brink of falling apart. The song describes the emotional turmoil of being in love with someone who is causing pain and confusion. The lyrics are raw and emotional, and they capture the feeling of desperation and confusion that comes with a failing relationship.
The song starts with the singer feeling like he has been let loose and is now crawling up the wall. He has been caught but doesn't know what to do next. The chorus begs the person not to leave, to take it from him that he has been more than a king but cannot take the pain of losing them. The singer is going crazy and can't sleep, and their mirrors are stained with pain and portraits of the partner's face.
The singer's inhibition is flat-lined, and it is their ammunition as they fight to get by in the relationship. They need direction and affection, but the partner has left them behind. The song ends with the singer saying, "I'm a mess, and your words just give me time to give you a waste of time. One of those nights when you leave me for no reason, I'll give you a reason."
