Isaac Gracie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is this what you wanted?
Old flame, new shame
Now this love is haunted
Heartaches, heartbreaks
Darling, what you drinking?
I'll fake interest
Just tell me what you're thinking
(Ooh, you're taking your time)
(Ooh, just give me one night)
Gotta lift your head up
Gotta take your mind off
All the things you can't stop
They're not worth the problems
And when you feel like
You can't face those bright lights
Baby, just give me one night
Bright lights, long nights
Is this what you came for?
Old flame, new shame
Murder on your dance floor
Heartaches, heartbreaks
Darling, what you drinking?
I'll fake interest
Just tell me what you're thinking
(Ooh, you're taking your time)
(Ooh, just give me one night)
Gotta lift your head up
Gotta take your mind off
All the things you can't stop
They're not worth the problems
And when you feel like
You can't face those bright lights
Baby, just give me one night
Gotta lift your head up
Gotta take your mind off
All the things you can't stop
They're not worth the problems
And when you feel like
You can't face those bright lights
Baby, just give me one night
(Give me one night)
The lyrics to Isaac Gracie's song "One Night" explore themes of longing, escapism, and temporary solace. The opening lines, "Bright lights, long nights," suggest a vivid and restless environment. The singer questions if this is truly what they wanted, indicating a sense of dissatisfaction or unease. The mention of an "old flame, new shame" implies a past failed relationship that continues to haunt their current love life.
The chorus, "Gotta lift your head up, gotta take your mind off," expresses the need to find a way to distract oneself from the troubles and challenges of life. The singer offers to be that distraction, willing to fake interest and listen to their love interest's thoughts, regardless of what they may be. It's a plea for a brief respite from the overwhelming emotions and pressures.
The repetition of the lines, "They're not worth the problems" and "And when you feel like you can't face those bright lights," emphasizes the idea that the problems and difficulties one faces may not be worth sacrificing joy and happiness. The singer encourages their love interest to give them one night, a momentary escape from the overwhelming reality.
Ultimately, "One Night" portrays a desire for a temporary refuge from pain, even if it's just for a single night. It explores the duality of wanting to stay wrapped up in one's troubles and simultaneously wanting to break free from them.
