A Night Like This
God Module Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
if it's the last thing we ever do
you never looked as lost as this
sometimes it doesn't even look like you
it goes dark
it goes darker still
please stay
but i watch you like i'm made of stone
i'm coming to find you if it takes me all night
a witch hunt for another girl
for always and ever is always for you
your trust
the most gorgeously stupid thing i ever cut in the world
say hello on a day like today
say it everytime you move
the way that you look at me now
makes me wish i was you
it goes deep
it goes deeper still
this touch
and the smile and the shake of your head...
i'm coming to find you if it takes me all night
can't stand here like this anymore
for always and ever is always for you
i want it to be perfect
like before...
i want to change it all
i want to change
The lyrics to God Module's A Night Like This describe a relationship on the brink of ending. The singer is urging their partner to say their final goodbyes on this night, the last night they will ever spend together. The partner seems lost and distant, and the singer is watching them leave, unable to do anything about it. The singer is torn between wanting them to stay and knowing that it’s time to let go. The line “sometimes it doesn't even look like you” suggests that the partner has changed in ways that the singer doesn’t recognize or understand.
In the second half of the song, the singer switches from urging their partner to say goodbye to them, to desperately searching for them in a “witch hunt for another girl.” The singer is willing to hunt for their partner all night, even though they may never find them. They want to change things and make it perfect like it was before. The line “your trust, the most gorgeously stupid thing I ever cut in the world” suggests that in the past, the partner trusted the singer deeply, but the singer somehow betrayed that trust. Now they are hoping to make it right, even though it may be too late. The song is a hauntingly beautiful expression of the pain and desperation that comes with the end of a relationship.
