One More Night
Grey T Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What you see is what you see
There's nothing more behind my eyes
Everything's plain as it's meant to be
That's why we stay inside
No I didn't care 'bout what you said
I didn't change my clothes to hide
I didn't think you actually meant
The shit you hide behind
But you can't change me
Baby you're chasing
Dreams in all of the wrong places
And my self esteem had me thinking
Maybe you we're right
Oh, I got no sleep last night
And you fool me again, and again, and again
Into thinking that you'd be worth the price
But I thought about what you said
Why did I ever take your advice
You live by rules that shouldn't work
That's why your days they feel so hard
That's why you find yourself speechless, immobile
Practicing control though all your chess pieces fell over
And you're barely ever sober
And you can't change me
Baby you're chasing
Dreams in all of the wrong places
And my self esteem had me thinking




Maybe you we're right
Oh, I got no sleep last night

Overall Meaning

The Grey T's song One More Night is about not letting external pressures and negative comments change who you are. The lyrics suggest that the singer is comfortable with themselves and isn't interested in conforming to society's expectations. The opening lines, "What you see is what you see, there's nothing more behind my eyes," indicate that the singer is straightforward and authentic, without any hidden agenda. The song also touches on the theme of self-esteem and how it can be affected by other people's opinions. The singer questions whether they should take the negative advice of someone who is not happy with their own life. The lines, "You live by rules that shouldn't work, that's why your days they feel so hard," imply that the singer's critic has choices that make life difficult, and their advice is not to be trusted.


The chorus, "Baby you're chasing dreams in all the wrong places, and my self-esteem had me thinking maybe you were right," suggests the singer has moments of self-doubt but recognizes they must stay true to themselves. The bridge, "And you're barely ever sober, and you can't change me" could be interpreted to mean that the critic's opinion is not worth considering because the critic is not in a stable mental space. The singer is determined to stand firm and remain unaffected by the negative energy.


Overall, the song's message is empowering, encouraging listeners to stay authentic, trust their instincts, and not be swayed by negativity or external expectations.
