One More Night
Demian Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I keep this,
If I keep this in mind, instead
Of telling you what I've meant
I won't be so fine

I'm settling,
I am good with all tides and waves
But held back by the bad incense
Growing from flaws

Oh I thought I turned into a sort of an adult mind
What I did was scribble us to tell myself I'm fine
I'm getting know about of me, myself, I
He needs instead

One more night, for all our lies
One more say, to close our days
If I'd be 'him' and you'd be 'her'
It won't be hard, the last

One more day, for all our times
I know we're gone, but 'gones' are priceless
Be brightly sad, leave this mess
Warm my name, the last

As you said
I draw you as a creep, me a freak
Should we keep all these lies remain,
It's a permanent fight

Oh I thought I turned into a sort of adult mind
What I did was scribble us to tell myself I'm fine
I'm getting know about of me, myself, I
He needs instead

One more night, for all our lies
One more say, to close our days
If I'd be 'him' and you'd be 'her'
It won't be hard, the last

One more day, for all our times
I know we're gone, but 'gones' are priceless
Be brightly sad, leave this mess
Warm my name, the last

One more night, for all our lies
One more say, to close our days
If I'd be 'him' and you'd be 'her'
It won't be hard, the last

One more day, for all our times
I know we're gone, but 'gones' are priceless
Be brightly sad, leave this mess




Warm my name, the last
The last

Overall Meaning

In "One more night," Demian appears to be reflecting on a past relationship that has ended. The lyrics suggest a sense of regret for not communicating clearly during the relationship, which may have contributed to its demise. Demian seems to be grappling with the idea of closure, wondering if one more night or one more day with his former partner could make things better or allow them to say goodbye properly. He acknowledges that they are both flawed individuals, and there may have been dishonesty on both sides, but he still longs for one last chance to be together. The repeated refrain of "the last" reinforces the idea that this is a final chance to reconcile.


The first verse references the difficulty of expressing oneself honestly. Demian expresses concern about the consequences of hiding his true feelings, suggesting that it will only make things worse in the long run. He then notes that he is generally able to adapt to changing circumstances, but there are some negative emotions (represented by "bad incense") that he cannot overcome. The second verse references his attempts to come to terms with the relationship after it ended. He seems to be trying to convince himself that he has moved on and grown from the experience, but cannot help feeling like he is still "scribbling" in his attempts to make sense of what happened.


Overall, the song seems to be a poignant reflection on the complexities of relationships and the difficulty of achieving closure. Demian acknowledges his own flaws and the difficulties that arise from two imperfect people trying to make a relationship work. Despite this, he still longs for one more chance to be with his former partner, even if it is just for "one more night."


Line by Line Meaning

If I keep this,
Keeping this in mind


If I keep this in mind, instead
Rather than expressing my true thoughts


Of telling you what I've meant
Of revealing what I truly feel


I won't be so fine
I won't be okay with the situation


I'm settling,
I'm adapting


I am good with all tides and waves
I can handle everything that comes my way


But held back by the bad incense
But hindered by negative influences


Growing from flaws
That arise from my own imperfections


Oh I thought I turned into a sort of an adult mind
I thought I had matured mentally


What I did was scribble us to tell myself I'm fine
What I did was write about our situation to convince myself everything is alright


I'm getting know about of me, myself, I
I'm beginning to understand myself better


He needs instead
What 'he' (the artist) needs now is different from before


One more night, for all our lies
Let's have one more night to dwell in our deception


One more say, to close our days
And one more conversation to end our time together


If I'd be 'him' and you'd be 'her'
If we were different people


It won't be hard, the last
Breaking up won't be difficult


One more day, for all our times
One more day to relive our shared experiences


I know we're gone, but 'gones' are priceless
Although we're no longer together, our memories are valuable


Be brightly sad, leave this mess
Let's be optimistic while acknowledging the end of our relationship


Warm my name, the last
Remember me fondly, let it be the last emotion


As you said
As you mentioned earlier


I draw you as a creep, me a freak
I see you as weird, and myself as abnormal


Should we keep all these lies remain,
Should we continue to live in deception


It's a permanent fight
It's a never-ending struggle


The last
The end
