At Night
MNEK Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just fine in the afternoon
But at night I think about you
Like an echo in my brain
I wonder if you hear it too
'Cause at night I think about you
And it's just madness
I lay awake and imagine
At night I think about you
In a way I am not supposed to
Baby, sleeping without you just isn't right
Trust me, I've tried it a thousand times
At night I think about you
Do you still think of me too?
'Cause I can't shake you off my mind
And I don't know what to do
At night I think about ya
'Cause at night I think about you
Slowly when I close my eyes
Every time I go to bed
Your song still plays in my head
How foolish of me to fantasize
'Bout everything we used to be
Letting go ain't that easy
It's just madness
You're here then you're gone
It's like magic
I lay awake and imagine
You think of me
The way I think of you, baby
'Cause every night I'm going crazy
At night I think about you
In a way I am not supposed to
Baby, sleeping without you just isn't right
Trust me, I've tried it a thousand times
At night I think about you
Do you still think of me too?
'Cause I can't shake you off my mind
And I don't know what to do
'Cause at night I think about ya
Ooh, time after time
Enduring watch you go, goodbye
Show up in my dreams at night
'Cause, baby, in the dark you still shine
Sad but true
Nothing's the saddest getting over you
Eyes are wide open the whole night through
'Cause at night I think about you
In a way I am not supposed to
Baby, sleeping without you just isn't right
Trust me, I've tried it a thousand times
At night I think about you
Do you still think of me too?
'Cause I can't shake you off my mind
And I don't know what to do (Don't know what to do)
'Cause at night I think about you
At night I think about you
You, yeah
I can't get no sleep at night
At night I think about ya
The song "At Night" by MNEK is a heart-wrenching ballad that talks about the pain felt at night when emotions are heightened, and the mind has time to wander. The singer is seemingly okay during the day, but at night, they are haunted by thoughts of their past lover. The repetition of the phrase "at night, I think about you" reinforces this idea and serves as a constant reminder of their pain. They wonder if their former flame feels the same way, and if they too are tormented by thoughts of them.
The chorus particularly hits the listener with the raw emotion the song delivers. The lyrics "in a way, I am not supposed to, baby, sleeping without you just isn't right" conveys a sense of longing and emptiness that cannot be filled in the absence of one's lover. The singer can't shake their former partner off their mind, and they don't know what to do with themselves. The memories and the love they once shared still linger, and it's a struggle to move on.
In conclusion, MNEK's "At Night" is a song about heartbreak, longing, and sleepless nights. It portrays the feeling of being haunted by past love which is so relatable, and that's what makes the song so emotional and powerful.

In the morning I'm okay
I feel fine in the morning
Just fine in the afternoon
I feel okay in the afternoon
But at night I think about you
At night, I can't stop thinking about you
Like an echo in my brain
Thoughts of you keep replaying in my mind
I wonder if you hear it too
I'm curious if you also think about me
'Cause at night I think about you
The only thing on my mind at night is you
And it's just madness
It's crazy how much love can hurt
How love can lead you to sadness
Love can sometimes make us feel sad
I lay awake and imagine
I can't sleep as I imagine being with you
In a way I am not supposed to
Thinking about you like this is wrong
Baby, sleeping without you just isn't right
Sleeping without you doesn't feel right
Trust me, I've tried it a thousand times
I've tried to sleep without you so many times before
Do you still think of me too?
I wonder if you also think about me
'Cause I can't shake you off my mind
I can't stop thinking about you
And I don't know what to do
I'm lost and don't know what to do
Slowly when I close my eyes
As I drift to sleep
Every time I go to bed
Whenever I sleep
Your song still plays in my head
I can still hear your voice in my mind
How foolish of me to fantasize
It's silly of me to dream about you
'Bout everything we used to be
About our past memories and relationship
Letting go ain't that easy
It's hard to move on from you
You're here then you're gone
You come and go in my life
It's like magic
It feels magical when you're here
You think of me
I hope you also remember me
The way I think of you, baby
As often as I think about you
'Cause every night I'm going crazy
Every night, I'm losing my mind
Ooh, time after time
Over and over again
Enduring watch you go, goodbye
Watching you leave and saying goodbye is painful
Show up in my dreams at night
You appear in my dreams almost every night
'Cause, baby, in the dark you still shine
You still stand out even in the dark
Nothing's the saddest getting over you
Getting over your love is the hardest thing
Eyes are wide open the whole night through
I can't sleep, my eyes are open throughout the night
You, yeah
Talking about you
I can't get no sleep at night
I can't sleep at night
At night I think about ya
At night, all I think about is you
