Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
Лучшая новогодняя музыка - ABBA Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Half past twelve
Watchin' the late show in my flat all alone
How I hate to spend the evening on my own
Autumn winds
Blowin' outside the window as I look around the room
And it makes me so depressed to see the gloom

There's not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayer

Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away?
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day

Movie stars
Find the end of the rainbow with a fortune to win
It's so different from the world I'm living in
Tired of TV
I open the window and I gaze into the night
But there's nothing there to see no one in sight

There's not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayer

Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away?
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day

Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight

There's not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayer

Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away?
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day

Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away?




Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day

Overall Meaning

ABBA's song Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! is a melancholic song about loneliness and the desire for companionship. The lyrics describe the singer's desperation and unhappiness as she spends the evening watching the late show in her flat all alone. She longs for someone to be with her, to chase away the shadows of loneliness and depression that seem to dominate her moods. The autumn winds blowing outside her window seem to mirror the sadness and gloominess she feels inside, making the situation even worse.


The singer compares her own life to that of movie stars, who live in a world so different from hers, where they can find the end of the rainbow and a fortune to win. In contrast, she remains alone and stuck in front of the TV, searching for something to fill the emptiness within. However, even when she opens her window to gaze into the night, hoping to find someone out there, she finds nothing but darkness and despair. The song's chorus repeats the plea for someone to come to her aid - "Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight, Take me through the darkness to the break of the day."


Overall, the song portrays the themes of loneliness and longing for companionship, as well as the desire for escapism. The singer seems to be caught in a cycle of despair, unable to escape the emptiness of her life. The song is a poignant reminder of how fleeting happiness can be and how desperately humans crave connection with others.
