Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're just...always make that...heart
Die when I...when I said, don't make turn away
I turn away...
You're just...always make that...heart
I've been...feel, and I'm thinking
You've been away, are you thinking
In the movement
Tonight's the night, I'm waiting
Tonight's the night, and I'm not feeling cold
So strong...out to go...never let you
Tonight's the night, I'm waiting
Tonight's the night, and I'm not feeling cold
So strong...out to go...never let you
[Chorus]
You're just...always make that...heart
Die when I...when I said, don't make turn away
I turn away...
You're just...always make that...heart
I've been...feel, and I'm thinking
You've been away, are you thinking
The lyrics of Grimes' "Nightmusic" are complex and open to interpretation. The chorus seems to be referencing a relationship where the singer's heart is constantly impacted by the other person, causing it to die momentarily. Despite wanting to turn away from this person's impact, they find themselves unable to resist. The lyrics "You've been away, are you thinking?" suggest that this is a long-distance relationship or that the two individuals have been separated for some time.
The second verse adds an additional layer to the meaning, with the lyrics "In the mirror we are the/in the movement." This suggests that perhaps the relationship is more of a reflection of the singer's inner thoughts and feelings, rather than an external reality. The repeated line "Tonight's the night, I'm waiting/Tonight's the night, and I'm not feeling cold" creates a sense of anticipation and longing, but also hints at a resolve to not be affected negatively by the situation.
Overall, the song seems to be grappling with the experience of intense emotions within a relationship, whether it be physical or emotional distance or just the struggle to maintain boundaries in a passionate dynamic.

You're just...always make that...heart
You have the power to always touch my heart
Die when I...when I said, don't make turn away
My heart feels like it's dying when I ask you not to turn away from me
I turn away...
But then I turn away from you myself
I've been...feel, and I'm thinking
I've been feeling my emotions and thinking about them
You've been away, are you thinking
I wonder if you're away thinking about me too
In the mirror we are the
We see ourselves in the mirror
In the movement
As we move
Tonight's the night, I'm waiting
I'm waiting for tonight
Tonight's the night, and I'm not feeling cold
On this night, I don't feel cold
So strong...out to go...never let you
I feel so strong and I won't let you go
