Live for the Night
Krewella Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I live for the night, I live for the lights
I live for the high 'til I'm free falling
I live for the night, I live for the lights
I live for the high 'til I'm free falling (Falling)

'Til I'm free falling (falling)

I live for the night

I am tryna holla
Got that ink up on my collar
Drinkin' 'til there's nada
Isn't whiskey, I don't bother
My bitches ain't no dimes, they be motherfuckin' dollars
So we stack our drinks up high, skyscrapin' 'til we taller
Ring ring, hit that up, show that universal love
If you bleed that red blood, dance until you get enough
Ring ring, hit that up, show that universal love
If you bleed that red blood, dance until you get enough

I'mma do what I want, whatever
I'mma rage 'til the dawn, all-nighter
Don't hold your breath, you know I'll sleep when I am dead

I live for the night, I live for the lights
I live for the high 'til I'm free falling
I live for the night, I live for the lights
I live for the high 'til I'm free falling (Falling)

I live for the night

Free falling

I'm the Grim Reaper when I'm blaring out your speaker
Killin' off the weaker, welcome to the final feature
My head is in the clouds, you can say that I'm a dreamer,
But I bang it super loud, turn that bitch into a screamer

I'mma do what I want, whatever
I'mma rage 'til the dawn, all-nighter
Don't hold your breath
You know I'll sleep when I am dead

I live for the night, I live for the lights
I live for the high 'til I'm free falling
I live for the night, I live for the lights
I live for the high 'til I'm free falling (Falling)

I live for the night, I live for the lights
I live for the high 'til I'm free falling
I live for the night, I live for the lights




I live for the high 'til I'm free falling
I live for the night

Overall Meaning

In "Live For The Night," Krewella sings about their love for the night life and the rush of excitement they feel when partying. The song's lyrics express a desire to let loose and live in the moment, not worrying about what's to come. The chorus repeats the line "I live for the night, I live for the lights," which emphasizes the thrill that the group feels when they are surrounded by the bright lights and energy of the party atmosphere. They also mention how drinking is a part of their experience, noting that they like to stack their drinks high.


The second verse is confrontational in nature, as Krewella sings about their confidence and the type of people they associate with. The lyrics are aggressive as they proclaim that their female companions are "motherf*ckin' dollars" and not just "dimes." The line "If you bleed that red blood, dance until you get enough" can be interpreted as an invitation to anyone who is willing to let go of their inhibitions and enjoy the moment. The bridge of the song features a metaphorical message, as they refer to themselves as "the Grim Reaper" and "killin' off the weaker." This could mean that the group sees themselves as a force to be reckoned with in the party scene, taking over and dominating the dance floor.


Overall, "Live For The Night" is a high-energy party anthem that celebrates the wild side of life. The lyrics are unapologetic, showing that Krewella is not afraid to live life on their terms and chase after the thrill of what the night brings.
