Tonight Tonight
LOS ANGELES Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was always taking chances
I threw my dice and destiny said I'm wrong
But now you're gone
Streets are cold
As time goes by this feelings grow
I never thought we'd let this go

Tonight, tonight It is all we'll ever know (tonight, tonight)
Did I lose you somewhere out there? (tonight, tonight)
Come run with me
We'll take our chances
We need this blushed sky tonight Tonight we'll never be alone
Tonight we'll never be alone

I'm feeling like I've lost my mind
I'm chasing dreams but they pass me by
Oh yeah
Look to the sky, look to the stars
But darling don't break my heart
I hear your whisper in the dark

Tonight, tonight It is all we'll ever know (tonight, tonight)
Did I lose you somewhere out there? (tonight, tonight)
Come run with me
We'll take our chances
We need this blushed sky tonight Tonight we'll never be alone
Tonight we'll never be alone

I wonder where you are
If do you think of me
See the sky light fading
But a light too
And I swear that you're here

Tonight, tonight It is all we'll ever know (tonight, tonight)
Did I lose you somewhere out there? (tonight, tonight)
Come run with me, we'll take our chances




We need this blushed sky tonight Tonight we'll never be alone
Tonight we'll never be alone

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Tonight Tonight" by LOS ANGELES speak of a search for love and happiness in a world that seems to be indifferent to the individual's aspirations. The opening lines affirm the singer's tendency to take risks despite the possibility of failing. The use of the metaphor of throwing dice is a reference to the randomness and unpredictability of life. Although the individual often fails, he or she remains relentless in the pursuit of personal fulfillment. The departure of a loved one is a painful reminder of the hardships that life can throw at the individual, and the streets that were once familiar now seem cold and indifferent. As time moves forward, the feelings of loneliness and despair intensify. The singer acknowledges that he or she never thought that this love would end, inferring the depth of the connection that existed between the two.


The chorus of the song speaks of the importance of the present. Tonight is all we'll ever know, and the individual must make the most of the opportunity to experience life fully. The question of whether the singer lost his or her love is reflective of the internal struggle that he or she faces. The need for companionship and the hope of finding that lost love is a powerful motivational force. The proclamation that "we need this blushed sky tonight" suggests that the individual is seeking a romantic connection to help alleviate his or her pain. The repetition of the phrase "tonight we'll never be alone" underscores the singer's need for human interaction and emotional support.


Line by Line Meaning

I was always taking chances
I used to take risks often and not play it safe


I threw my dice and destiny said I'm wrong
I gambled on things, but the outcome was always unfavorable


But now you're gone
Ever since you left, I've been lost and alone


Streets are cold
The roads seem to be barren and lifeless without you


As time goes by this feelings grow
My emotions towards you keep getting stronger with each passing day


I never thought we'd let this go
I never expected our relationship to crumble like this


Tonight, tonight It is all we'll ever know (tonight, tonight)
Right now, at this moment, this is all that matters to us


Did I lose you somewhere out there? (tonight, tonight)
I am not sure where and how we drifted apart


Come run with me
Let's escape from everything and be together


We'll take our chances
We'll live on the edge and not worry about the outcome


We need this blushed sky tonight
Tonight, we crave the beautiful sky as a symbol of our love


Tonight we'll never be alone
We'll have each other's company forever on this special night


I'm feeling like I've lost my mind
I am feeling crazy and confused without you


I'm chasing dreams but they pass me by
I am pursuing my aspirations, but they seem to be slipping away


Look to the sky, look to the stars
I am searching for a sign or guidance from the universe


But darling don't break my heart
Please don't hurt me like you did before


I hear your whisper in the dark
I can still feel your presence and hear your voice in my mind


I wonder where you are
I am curious about your whereabouts


If do you think of me
Do you still remember me as I do?


See the sky light fading, But a light too
The sky might be turning dark, but there is still a hope in my heart


And I swear that you're here
I believe that you are still present in my memories and in my heart
