Some Nights
KIDZ BOP Kids Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Some nights I call it a draw
Some nights I wish that my lips could build a castle
Some nights I wish they'd just fall off
But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
Oh, no, I'm still not sure what I stand for oh
What do I stand for?
Most nights I don't know anymore
Oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh
This is it, boys, this is war, what are we waiting for?
Why don't we break the rules already?
I was never one to believe the hype
Save that for the black and white
I try twice as hard and I'm half as liked,
But here they come again to jack my style
That's alright (that's alright)
I found a martyr in my head tonight
She stops my bones from wondering just who I am, who I am, who I am
Oh, who am I?
Hm hm
Well, some nights I wish that this all would end
'Cause I could use some friends for a change.
And some nights I'm scared you'll forget me again
Some nights I always win, I always win
But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
Oh, no, I'm still not sure what I stand for, oh
What do I stand for?
What do I stand for?
Most nights I don't know
Come on
(Come on, come on)
Well, that is it guys, that is all
Five minutes in and I'm bored again
Ten years of this, I'm not sure if anybody understands
This one is not for the folks at home
Sorry to leave, mom, I had to go
Who the heck wants to be alone all dried up in the desert sun?
My heart is breaking for my sister and the con that she call "love"
When I look into my nephew's eyes
Man, you wouldn't believe the most amazing things that can come from
Some terrible nights
Oh, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh
The other night you wouldn't believe the dream I just had about you and me
I called you up but we'd both agree
It's for the best you didn't listen
It's for the best we get our distance
Oh
It's for the best you didn't listen
It's for the best we get our distance
Oh.
The song "Some Nights" by KIDZ BOP Kids is about the struggles of self-discovery and identity crisis. The lyrics convey how the singer struggles with bad luck and ambivalence, unsure of what they stand for most nights. The line "this is it, boys, this is war" suggests that the singer is trying to fight against something, but isn't sure what that something is. The song then takes a somber turn as the singer expresses that they sometimes wish they had friends, and they fear being forgotten.
The line "my heart is breaking for my sister and the con that she call 'love'" reflects the struggles of someone else, showing that the singer is not just dealing with their own problems, but with their loved ones' problems too. The ending of the song also indicates a dream the singer has about the person they love, but it ultimately ends with the realization that it's best they maintain their distance.
Overall, the song portrays a deeper message about identity, war, love, and the struggles of life. It's a great song that many people can relate to.
Line by Line Meaning
Some nights I stay up cashing in my bad luck
Sometimes I stay awake trying to make the most of my unfortunate circumstances
Some nights I call it a draw
Sometimes I accept that there are no winners and move on
Some nights I wish that my lips could build a castle
Sometimes I yearn to be able to create something great just by speaking
Some nights I wish they'd just fall off
Sometimes I am so frustrated with my own words that I just want to be silent
But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
Despite everything, I still remember and think of you
Oh, no, I'm still not sure what I stand for oh
I am uncertain about my own beliefs and values
What do I stand for?
I am questioning my own principles
Most nights I don't know anymore
Usually, I am unsure about my own identity and purpose in life
This is it, boys, this is war, what are we waiting for?
We need to stop being passive and start being active in the face of adversity
Why don't we break the rules already?
Why don't we do something unconventional to try and make a change?
I was never one to believe the hype
I have never been one to trust popular opinion
Save that for the black and white
Leave that kind of thinking to those who prefer absolutes
I try twice as hard and I'm half as liked
I put in more effort than others, but I am not as well-liked
But here they come again to jack my style
But here come others trying to copy my unique way of doing things
That's alright (that's alright)
I'm okay with that (I'm okay with that)
I found a martyr in my head tonight
I have invented a character who suffers for the sake of a cause
She stops my bones from wondering just who I am, who I am, who I am
This character helps me stop questioning my own identity
Oh, who am I?
I am still unsure about who I really am
Well, some nights I wish that this all would end
There are times when I wish everything would just stop
'Cause I could use some friends for a change.
Because I could really use some friends right now
And some nights I'm scared you'll forget me again
And sometimes, I am afraid that you will forget about me once more
Some nights I always win, I always win
There are occasions when I always come out on top
Come on
Let's go
(Come on, come on)
(Let's move, come on)
Well, that is it guys, that is all
That's all I have to say for now
Five minutes in and I'm bored again
Only five minutes in and I am already disinterested
Ten years of this, I'm not sure if anybody understands
After ten years of this, I am not sure if anyone truly comprehends my situation
This one is not for the folks at home
This message is not meant for a general audience
Sorry to leave, mom, I had to go
I apologize for leaving, but I had to go
Who the heck wants to be alone all dried up in the desert sun?
Who on earth would want to be alone and thirsty in the hot desert?
My heart is breaking for my sister and the con that she call "love"
I feel sad for my sister and the deceitful person she calls her "lover"
When I look into my nephew's eyes
Whenever I see my nephew
Man, you wouldn't believe the most amazing things that can come from
There are some incredible things that can come about as a result of
Some terrible nights
Certain awful experiences
Oh, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh
Various vocalizations conveying emotion
The other night you wouldn't believe the dream I just had about you and me
Recently, I had an unbelievable dream about you and me
I called you up but we'd both agree
I tried to reach you, but we would both come to the same conclusion
It's for the best you didn't listen
It's probably better that you didn't hear what I had to say
It's for the best we get our distance
It's better if we keep our distance from each other for now
Oh
Exclamation conveying emotion
It's for the best you didn't listen
It's probably better that you didn't hear what I had to say
It's for the best we get our distance
It's better if we keep our distance from each other for now
Oh.
Exclamation conveying emotion
