Die Tonight
A Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lose yourself, save yourself.
One more night, one more time.
By yourself, no one else.
One arrival time to hear you cry tonight.

Pray today, slide away.
And hide away, no one came.
Holy graves, maiden names.
Take a breath and hold it in and out again.

And if you die, alone tonight.
I'll be right, by your side.
My advice, alone tonight.
Wait a while save a life.

Take yourself, you hate yourself.
Lie awake, wide awake.
Bruise yourself, lose yourself.
Pressure's on but not for long remind yourself.

And if you die, alone tonight.
I'll be right, by your side.
My advice, alone tonight.
Wait a while save a life.

Daylight's fading, angels waiting.
Breaking all the plans we're making
Daylight's fading, angels waiting.
Breaking all the plans we're making

And if you die, alone tonight.
I'll be right, by your side.
My advice, alone tonight.




Wait a while save a life.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of A's song, "Die Tonight," capture a sense of despair and longing for connection in the face of overwhelming pressure and pain. The lines "Lose yourself, save yourself" suggest a struggle to balance the need for self-preservation with a desire to reach out for help. The repeated refrain of "And if you die, alone tonight, I'll be right by your side" underscores the importance of reaching out to others in our darkest moments, and offers a glimmer of hope amidst the darkness.


The verses of the song paint a picture of isolation and pain, with lines like "By yourself, no one else" and "Take yourself, you hate yourself." The sudden shift in tone to a more urgent call to action in the chorus, with the lines "Wait a while save a life," implores the listener to hold on, to find the strength to keep going, to believe that there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
