Goodnight Goodnight
Hot Hot Heat Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You only wanted me for havin' fun
But now I think you've gone and had your way
And left me with a pile of bills to pay
I can't even rewind the tape machine
To listen to your drunken reasoning
So here it is, your final lullaby
So goodnight, goodnight
You're embarrassing me
You're embarrassing you
So goodnight, goodnight
Walk away from the door
Walk away from my life
So goodnight
I've given up on social niceties
I threw 'em out when I threw out your keys
Along with all your records I can't stand
You never even listened to any one of them
You're never gonna drag me out again
With all the people that were never ever even your friends
So here it is, your final lullaby
So goodnight, goodnight
You're embarrassing me
You're embarrassing you
So goodnight, goodnight
Walk away from the door
Walk away from my life
A little bit of rain I'd say is fair
But when it starts a thundering I'm scared
This isn't goodnight, this is goodbye
So goodnight, goodnight
You're embarrassing me
You're embarrassing you
So goodnight, goodnight
Walk away from the door
Walk away from my life
So goodnight, goodnight
You're embarrassing me
You're embarrassing you
So goodnight, goodnight
Walk away from the door
Walk away from my life
So goodnight
In the song "Goodnight Goodnight" by Hot Hot Heat, the singer addresses someone who seemed to have used him for their own pleasure and then left him with nothing but financial obligations. He expresses that he can no longer listen to their drunken reasoning, and instead he's saying goodnight to this person as he knows that this isn't a goodbye, but more like a farewell. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "So goodnight, goodnight," which is the final lullaby he sings to this person, wishing them to walk away from his life.
The lyrics in this song show how the singer is taking a stand against the person who has mistreated him. The singer doesn't want this person to have any more control over his life, and it is time for him to move on. It is a powerful message about self-preservation and self-respect. The lyrics also highlight how difficult it is to part ways and how a goodnight can sometimes feel like a goodbye.
Hot Hot Heat's "Goodnight Goodnight" was released in 2005, and it quickly became a popular hit. The song has been featured in various films, including "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" and "She's the Man." Its popularity led to its inclusion on numerous TV shows, including "The O.C." and "One Tree Hill." The music video for the song is also quite popular, featuring the band playing on a rooftop as fireworks light up the night sky.
