Tonight
Kutless Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Of thousands
All gathered here
Are they just a noise
Soon lost in air
Or is there more
Is there more
Reaching to the sky
Is there a reason
Can, can you tell me why
Or is there more
Is there more
So let me ask you
Can't you feel the music
All around you
Flashing lights
But love can fill your mind
Can't you feel the sounds
Of love flow through you
We're praising Him tonight
Can't you feel the music
All around you
Flashing lights
But love can fill your mind
Can't you feel the sounds
Of love flow through you
We're praising Him tonight
Some say that
It's, it's not right
For us to praise
On, on this type of night
Tonight there's more
There's more
So let me ask you
Can't you feel the music
All around you
Flashing lights
But love can fill your mind
Can't you feel the sounds
Of love flow through you
We're praising Him tonight
The lyrics of Kutless's song Tonight explores the concept of worship and the emotions associated with it. The first verses of the song refer to a gathering of thousands whose voices rise up in unison, and questions whether this gathering is just noise or if it holds deeper meaning. The singer then prompts the audience to raise their hands and asks if there's a reason for their actions or if there's something more than just ritualistic motions.
It's only in the chorus that a clear message is conveyed. The lights, sounds, and music all hint at the joyous emotion of love, which is filling the minds of those gathered. Love is portrayed as an all-surrounding force that flows through everyone present, uniting and enhancing the worship experience. Despite any voices of doubt or exclusion, the singer believes that tonight is a special night, and there is more to praise than what is seen on the surface.
Overall, the song expresses the idea that worship is about more than just an outward performance. It's about connecting to a higher power and allowing oneself to be filled with love, which creates a unique moment of transcendent joy and unity.
