Tonight
Axel Flóvent Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It gives you more than I do
You see the mountain falling
And you're still in your head
Carrying us
Holding on
To something lightly
And you stay by the sea
It keeps you calm and quiet
'Cause there's no other way
Your heart still wants this fire
You've caught the silence
And made your peace with it
Tonight you'll be there
Forevermore
And you're still in your head
Tearing up
Holding on
To something lightly
And you stay by the sea
It keeps you calm and quiet
'Cause there's no other way
Your heart still wants this fire
If this is every bit
May it rest while rusting
And you still wish for it
'Cause we were something
The lyrics of Axel Flovent's song "Tonight" seem to be about the complicated emotions surrounding a breakup. The first verse suggests that the singer's partner prefers to be emotionally cold and distant, perhaps finding it easier to keep their feelings locked away than to express them. The line "you see the mountain falling" could be interpreted as a metaphor for the relationship crumbling, but the partner remains trapped in their own head, unable to connect with the singer.
The chorus suggests that the partner finds solace in being by the sea, which provides a sense of calm and stillness. However, the singer acknowledges that despite the distance between them, the partner's heart still yearns for the passion that they once shared. The line "you've caught the silence and made your peace with it" indicates that the partner has come to accept the end of the relationship, but still finds value in the memories they've shared and the connection they once had.
Overall, the lyrics of "Tonight" are reflective and melancholy, capturing the pain and complexity of letting go of someone you once loved deeply.

'Cause we were something
We had something special that has now been lost

I discovered Axel's music through Spotify and I have to admit I was instantly captured by his wonderfull music. His album You Stay By The Sea is just a very strong piece of art. Axel, you touch my soul!

I've never loved anyone's music more than his, it was such a privilege to have found it and to be able to listen to it for the past 3 years. I cannot wait for the day I can hear his music in person.
