Goodnight
Della Lupa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's the strangest sight
In the desert too dry
A labyrinth of lights
Hypnotized and hooked on a high
You don't care about precision
Goodnight
I've lost all my good sense of Refrain
Goodnight
It's a mad world
Run by mad men
Run by mad men
For a hundred hits raw skin and cracked lips
No clock to watch it's to telling it to cry it's our plea
Hypnotized and hooked on a high
You don't care about precision
Go on and say good goodnight
Goodnight
I've lost all my good sense of Refrain
Goodnight
It's a mad world
Run by mad men
Uhuh yeah run by mad men
All you want is just a
Good time
Uhuh yeah run by mad men
But what I say is
Goodnight
Oh oh yeah run by mad men
But what I say is
Goodnight
Oh oh yeah run by mad men
But all I want is just a
Good time
I get lost in the times
Run by mad men
Now all I want is just a good good time
I get lost in the times
Run by mad men
Now all I want is just a good good time
Goodnight
I've lost all my good sense of Refrain
Who cares about presicon,
Go on and say
Good goodnight
Goodnight
I've lost all my good sense of Refrain
Who cares about presicion,
Go on and say
Good goodnight
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
In Della Lupa's song "Goodnight," we are presented with a picture of a city that rises up like a labyrinth in the lonely desert. The singer is hypnotized and hooked on a high that drives him/her to ignore the time and the clock which seems to feel like a plea in the form of raw skin and cracked lips. The singer has lost all sensibility and is so lost in this world that runs by mad men that all they now desire is just a good time. The setting and imagery suggest a sense of chaos, confusion, and disorientation brought about by the singers' intense experiences.
The lines "Hypnotized and hooked on a high, you don't care about precision, go on and say good goodnight" seem to suggest the singer's willingness to let go of what they know is right and indulge without limitations. They are willing to let go of precision or rules that guide behavior in society and just "say good goodnight."
The repeated line "run by mad men" emphasizes the idea that the city and its inhabitants are in a state of madness and chaos. The singer is aware of this state of affairs but is powerless to do anything about it. The final lines of the song suggest that amidst all this chaos and confusion, the singer desires nothing more than a good time, but the mundane reality of the passing of time seems to remind them of the need to say goodnight.

Squares of the city rise
The buildings in the city are tall and imposing
It's the strangest sight
It's an unusual and unexpected view
In the desert too dry
Even in the dry desert there are many lights
A labyrinth of lights
The lights are complex and maze-like
Hypnotized and hooked on a high
Addicted and unable to resist the allure of the city
You don't care about precision
You're not concerned with details or accuracy
Go on and say good goodnight
Continue living in your carefree and reckless manner

It's time to say goodbye
I've lost all my good sense of Refrain
I've forgotten all about self-restraint and moderation
It's a mad world
The world is crazy and unpredictable
Run by mad men
Controlled and influenced by insane individuals
For a hundred hits raw skin and cracked lips
I've endured hardship and pain for the sake of pleasure
No clock to watch it's to telling it to cry it's our plea
There's no need to keep track of time or be concerned with the consequences of our actions
Uhuh yeah run by mad men
Yes, this world is governed by crazy people
All you want is just a
You're only interested in one thing
Good time
Having fun and enjoying oneself
But what I say is
My opinion is
Oh oh yeah run by mad men
Yes, this world is indeed run by insane individuals
But all I want is just a
However, what I desire is only
Good time
To have a good time and nothing more
I get lost in the times
I become immersed in the moment
Now all I want is just a good good time
Currently, all I desire is to enjoy myself as much as possible
Who cares about presicon,
Who needs to worry about precision or accuracy
Ooh ooh ooh ooh

1:06 “My heart could be burning but you won’t see it on my face”
Damn this lyric really shows how in the introduction of the movie Barbie looked “normal” enjoying her perfect life when on the inside, she was just expierencing all these thoughts she’s never had before. And like she just masked it acting perfectly fine like she always was. And when Barbie did mention about dieing, everyone instantly was just suprised. Which made her have to “mask” herself more in a way. (If that makes sense)
And like this is what I love so much about this song. Dua Lipa is an icon and I love all her songs. I really think this song was a great way to start the movie (other than Lizzo’s song) but like the way I love it so much is because the happy and “exciting” tone of the song really masks the lyrics that just brush past you as you listen. Like, it’s kinda some slight foreshadowing that I really like.
More lyrics that “show this” ⬇️
2:54 “When my heart breaks, you’ll never see, you’ll never see”
0:52 “When the night’s here I don’t do tears”
1:19 “Latley I’ve been moving close to the edge, still looking my best”
2:19 “Even when the tears are flowing they’re diamonds on my face”
None less, the Barbie movie was amazing and definitely not what was I expecting (in a good way) and it really beat my expectations.
Anyways this was just me overanalzing this song and kinda the Barbie movie in general but like I just had to, I really liked this movie and I think it’s definitely a masterpiece for what it is considering it’s just a movie based off of a doll brand.
Anyways live laugh love Dua Lipa and go watch this movie

Lyrics 💙
[Verse 1]
Baby, you can find me under the lights
Diamonds under my eyes
Turn the rhythm up, don't you wanna just
Come along for the ride?
Ooh, my outfit so tight
You can see my heartbeat tonight
I can take the heat, baby, best believe
That's the moment I shine
[Refrain]
'Cause every romance shakes and it bends
Don't give a damn
When the night's here, I don't do tears
Baby, no chance
JELEEL! 'MAN OF THE YEAR!' (Live Performance) | Open Mic
[Pre-Chorus]
I could dance, I could dance, I could dance
[Chorus]
Watch me dance, dance the night away
My hеart could be burnin', but you won't see it on my face
Watch me dancе, dance the night away (Uh-huh)
I'll still keep the party runnin', not one hair out of place
[Verse 2]
Lately, I been movin' close to the edge
Still be lookin' my best
I stay on the beat, you can count on me
I ain't missin' no steps
[Refrain]
'Cause every romance shakes and it bends
Don't give a damn
When the night's here, I don't do tears
Baby, no chance
[Pre-Chorus]
I could dance, I could dance, I could dance
[Chorus]
Watch me dance, dance the night away
My heart could be burnin', but you won't see it on my face
Watch me dance, dance the night away (Uh-huh)
I'll still keep the party runnin', not one hair out of place
[Post-Chorus]
When my heart breaks (They never see it, never see it)
When my world shakes (I feel alive, I feel alive)
I don't play safe (Ooh), don't you know about me? (Uh-huh)
I could dance, I could dance, I could dance
[Bridge]
Even when the tears are flowin', they're diamonds on my face
I'll still keep the party goin', not one hair out of place (Yes, I can)
Even when the tears are flowin', they're diamonds on my face (Yes, I can, yes, I can)
I'll still keep the party goin', not one hair out of place
[Chorus]
Watch me dance, dance the night away (Uh-huh)
My heart could be burnin', but you won't see it on my face
Watch me dance (Dance), dance the night away (Uh-huh)
I still keep the party runnin', not one hair out of place
[Post-Chorus]
When my heart breaks (They never see it, never see it)
When my world shakes (I feel alive, I feel alive)
I don't play safe, don't you know about me? (Uh-huh)
I could dance, I could dance, I could dance
[Outro]

Now that I’ve seen the movie, this song is so perfect for the start of Barbie’s existential crisis. The lyrics are literally describing the turmoil bubbling inside of her, while still being a total summer bop.
