Tonight
Magic Man Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wandering out into a sea of streetlights
Calling up everyone I know
We're trying our best to keep our monsters inside
Nobody wants to be alone

But tonight we're all believers
And I fell alright with all of my heart
Tonight we're all believers
And I feel alright as long as you are

Running our hands over the stone and pavement
Giving up all the fights and complications
Nobody tells you that the city's different
Nobody wants to be alone

But tonight we're all believers
And I fell alright with all of my heart
Tonight we're all believers
And I feel alright as long as you are

How could you say that I was too in love to remember myself?
How could you say I left you waiting upon a shelf?
Because it's dangerous, the shot so bright under a lightning
How could you say this was your home?

But tonight we're all believers
And I fell alright with all of my heart




Tonight we're all believers
And I feel alright as long as you are

Overall Meaning

The song "Tonight" by Magic Man speaks of the desire to escape the loneliness and fears that come with navigating through life. The singer is depicted as aimlessly wandering through the city streets and reaching out to all the people they know, seeking connections to keep the monsters inside at bay. The lyrics suggest that no one wants to be alone, and the city can be a place of perils and complications.


The chorus emphasizes the idea of belief, which serves as a source of comfort and strength for the singer. They feel alright as long as someone else is there, and the shared experience of belief unites them with everyone else who believes. Towards the end of the song, the singer seems to be addressing someone who criticized or abandoned them. The lyrics question how that person could say they were too in love to remember themselves or that they left them waiting on a shelf. Despite the dangers and the potential hurts of the world outside, the singer insists that they are okay as long as there are believers around them.


Overall, "Tonight" is a song about the importance of human connection and belief as antidotes to the difficulties of life. The chorus provides a sense of unity and empowerment, while the verses depict a more vulnerable and uncertain mood.


Line by Line Meaning

Wandering out into a sea of streetlights
Venturing outside under a canopy of city lights


Calling up everyone I know
Contacting every acquaintance I have


We're trying our best to keep our monsters inside
Struggling to suppress our internal demons


Nobody wants to be alone
Everyone desires companionship


But tonight we're all believers
However, tonight we are all optimistic


And I fell alright with all of my heart
And I feel completely content


Running our hands over the stone and pavement
Touching the rough surfaces of the urban landscape


Giving up all the fights and complications
Abandoning conflicts and problems


Nobody tells you that the city's different
No one warns you that the metropolis is distinct


But tonight we're all believers
Nevertheless, this evening we are hopeful


And I feel alright as long as you are
And I am contented as long as you are present


How could you say that I was too in love to remember myself?
How could you assert that my love for someone else made me forget myself?


How could you say I left you waiting upon a shelf?
How could you declare that I ignored or neglected you?


Because it's dangerous, the shot so bright under a lightning
Due to the perilousness of the situation - a brilliant explosion in a thunderstorm


How could you say this was your home?
How could you claim that this place was your dwelling?


But tonight we're all believers
However, tonight we all hold faith


And I feel alright as long as you are
And I am contented as long as you are present

"Tonight"

Wandering out into the sea of streetlights
Calling up everyone I know
Trying our best to keep our monsters inside
Nobody wants to be alone

But tonight, we’re all believers
And I feel all right, with all of my heart
Oh tonight, we’re all believers
And I’ll be all right, as long as you are

Running our hands over the stone and pavement
Giving up all the fights and complications
Nobody tells you that the city’s different
Nobody wants to be alone

But tonight, we’re all believers
And I feel all right, with all of my heart
Oh tonight, we’re all believers
And I’ll be all right, as long as you are

How could you say that I was too in love to remember myself?
How could you say I left you waiting up on the shelf?
The colors are dangerous, they shine so bright, thunder and lightning
How could you say this was a home?

But tonight, we’re all believers
And I feel all right, with all of my heart
Oh tonight, we’re all believers
And I’ll be all right, as long as you are

Tonight, we’re all believers
And I feel all right, with all of my heart
Oh tonight, we’re all believers
And I’ll be all right, as long as you are

Tonight, we’re all believers
And I feel all right, with all of my heart
Oh tonight, we’re all believers
And I’ll be all right, as long as you are
