Nightcall
London Grammar/London Grammar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To tell you how I feel
I'm gonna drive you through the night
Down the hills
I'm gonna tell you something
You don't want to hear
I'm gonna show you where it's dumped
But have no fear
There's something inside you
It's hard to explain
There's something inside you boy
But you're still the same
I'm giving you a nightcall
To tell you how I feel
I'm gonna drive you through the night
Down the hills
I'm gonna tell you something
You don't want to hear
I'm gonna show you where it's dumped
But have no fear
There's something inside you
It's hard to explain
You're talking about you boy, but
You're still the same
Eh, yeah yeah
Tell you how
Tell you how
Tell you how, oh
I'm giving you a nightcall
To tell you how I feel
I'm gonna drive you through the night
Down the hills
I'm gonna tell you something
You don't want to hear
I'm giving you a nightcall
To tell you how I feel and how I feel
The lyrics of London Grammar's 'Nightcall' imply a desperate attempt made by the singer to confess their feelings to someone they have strong affection for. The song begins with a verse where the singer is providing a 'nightcall', or an unexpected phone call, to the person they're in love with. The singer is willing to drop everything to be with them, and is willing to take them on an adventure through the night, despite the fact that they continue to ignore and reject their affections. The song's chorus clearly expresses the singer's honest intentions to express their feelings, even though they know that the object of their affection doesn't reciprocate them. The verse concludes with the singer offering to show the secret location where they discard all their vulnerabilities because they don't want the person to feel any fear.
The second and final verse depicts the confusion that the singer faces in regards to the person they're in love with. They've recognized that there's something different within the person that they find difficult to define or explain. Yet, at the same time, the person hasn't changed their outlook or behavior towards the singer. The bridge lines tie the song together with emotion overload as the singer deals with the reality of their emotions. In conclusion, the song is about the singer's final attempt to confess to the person they have deep feelings for despite knowing that they may not receive the same in return.

I'm the champ.
I'm the king.
I'm the best ever.
Better than everybody.
Smash everybody.
Nobody is like me.
They're too slow coach.
They guys are too slow.
Too weak coach.
I'm too strong for them.
Too fast coach.
I have conditioning with no limit. Limited edition condition.
My right hand coach
Broke the mountains.
