Out Here All Night
Damone Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Summers coming to fast
Winters been here to long
If we keep wasting our days
Pretty soon they'll be gone

[oh yeah yeah yeah]

I've been out here all night
I've been out here all day
With my eyes open wide
Hoping that you will say
Everything is alright
We can be happy too
If you look out for me the way I looked out for you

People take what they need
Then they tell you get lost
Kindly leading you on
While they're ripping you off

[oh yeah yeah yeah]

I've been out here all night
I've been out here all day
With my eyes open wide
Hoping that you will say
Everything is alright
We can be happy too
If you look out for me the way I looked out for you

If I sounded insecure it's because I wasn't sure you really cared


I've been out here all night
I've been out here all day
With my eyes open wide
Hoping that you will say
Everything is alright
We can be happy too
If you look out for me the way I looked out for you

You can stand there all night
You can stand there all day
You can do what you like
It doesn't matter to me





[oh yeah yeah yeah]

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Damone's song "Out Here All Night" speak to the passage of time and the importance of looking out for one another in tough times. The song opens with a sense of urgency, as the singer bemoans the rapid approach of summer and the extended presence of winter, noting that if they continue to waste their days, they will be gone before they know it. The chorus repeats the phrase "I've been out here all night, I've been out here all day, with my eyes open wide, hoping that you will say everything is alright." This suggests a sense of desperation and a longing for reassurance from someone in the singer's life.


The second verse takes a more cynical turn, as the singer notes that people often take what they need and leave others behind, pretending to be kind and helpful while actually ripping people off. Despite this, the singer remains hopeful, suggesting that if someone looks out for them as they have looked out for others, they can be happy too. The final verse adds a note of vulnerability as the singer admits to feeling insecure and unsure of whether the person they are addressing actually cares.

Hadn't heard this song in quite some time and looked it up. It still holds strong. This band should have been given a better chance as they rocked.

John Stewart

I actually saw them live in Canada, theybopened for all American rejects for a crowd of only 100 people. Wildest performance I've ever seen 💯

Saudades de jogar Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam no meu PS2 escutando essa música maravilhosa, saudades da infância.❤️🇧🇷🔥🎶

Gabriel Curityba

Não conhecia música na época, era pouco acessível e eu não tinha internet pra pesquisar etc. Hoje em dia fico ouvindo essas músicas, era o estilo musical que eu gostava, mas ninguém ao meu redor conhecia. Conheci pelo Tony Hawk também.

Don't worry, you aren't the only one.

Awesome song, Madden 2007 was not just a great game...but a damn fine mixtape as well. From Rock to Rap, From Superstars to Underground legends...the songs on that game were all great.

Caprice Kobain

I don't remember this song madden 07 but then again that was 17 years ago

Jimbo 0117

The lead singer's name is Noelle LeBlanc, and yes, she could really play the guitar. She was 19 when this video was made. The band was from Massachusetts and was doing pretty well after their second album, which this song is from. But as things go in the music biz Island records inexplicably dropped them before their third album could be released. So they had to do it themselves. And without any promotion they couldn't get any airplay and as a result the album went nowhere.

Uma das melhores músicas do Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam
