Not Tonight
LIL NARNIA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Are we going too slow? I wish I knew what it meant
When you say it's my fault but there's more to be said
You won't answer my calls anymore or admit
That it's your fault too and here we go again
I fucking hate love and all the things I did
I always cared too much, sick of arguing
But you never did much, were you even a friend at all?
I know you can't stand me
My hands keep trembling when I think of you
You're always inside like an open wound
Sorry that I'm not enough for you
And I'm done trying, my eyes keep tightening when I think of you
Now I'm holding it back I can't do this not now
But somehow I knew it would happen
Can't calm down, I fucking panic
Every time we fight
And I swear I love hearing your voice
But I just can't do it tonight
See you some other time
Oh my god, here we go again
Are we going too slow? I wish I knew what it meant
When you say it's my fault but there's more to be said
You won't answer my calls anymore or admit
That it's your fault too and here we go again
I fucking hate love and all the things I did
I always cared too much, sick of arguing
But you never did much, were you even a friend at all?
Woah, the hourglass is running out of sand
Woah, this is getting way too out of hand
Woah, I don't remember this in the contract
Try to reach and you wouldn't call back
You cut me off and cut all contact
(I saw something in the night sky over Camden
Turned around and drove the opposite direction 'cause I fear them
Now when will they come?)
In the song "Not Tonight" by LIL NARNIA, the lyrics convey a sense of frustration, confusion, and emotional turmoil within a troubled relationship. The singer expresses their exasperation with the cycle of arguments and blame that keeps repeating, questioning whether they are moving too slowly in the relationship and longing for clarity in their partner's words and actions.
The first verse suggests that the singer feels unfairly blamed for the problems in the relationship, while also acknowledging that their partner is equally responsible but refuses to acknowledge it. The line "I fucking hate love and all the things I did" reflects a deep resentment towards love and the actions that they have taken in their relationship. The singer is exhausted from caring too much and constantly arguing, while feeling neglected by their partner, who may not have been a true friend to begin with.
The second verse reveals the singer's intense emotions and their struggle to cope with the situation. The mention of trembling hands and the comparison of their partner to an open wound suggests the pain and vulnerability the singer feels in their presence. They apologize for not being enough, indicating a lack of self-worth and feeling inadequate in meeting their partner's expectations. The singer expresses a sense of resignation, declaring that they are done trying and their eyes tighten at the mere thought of their partner. They want to avoid confronting these emotions in the present moment, recognizing that it will only lead to panic and possibly another fight.
In the third verse, the repetition of the opening line emphasizes the relentless cycle of arguments and blame that the singer finds themselves trapped in. They reiterate their frustration with love and their own past actions, hinting at a desire to break free from this toxic pattern. Doubts about their partner's commitment and friendship are expressed, suggesting that their loyalty may not have been genuine or reciprocal.
The final lines of the song introduce a new element. The singer mentions seeing something strange in the night sky over Camden and feeling fear, leading them to change their direction. This mysterious event is a metaphor for a turning point or a moment of realization that their relationship may be heading in a destructive direction. The singer wonders when this revelation will truly come to pass, perhaps hoping that it will prompt them to move on from the tumultuous relationship they find themselves in.
