One More Night
Mark W. Curran Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I am the scene of the battle scar
I am the lover of the way you are
I am the lover of the way you are
I am the gravity that holds you down
I am the jewel in the thorny crown
I am the furthest from the madding crowd
I am the tremor of the nightmare deep
I am the ceiling on your life long dream
I am the medicine that keeps you clean
I am the telling of the fortune scheme
I am the night
And I'm the one whose gonna fall apart
When everyone else breaks your heart
I am the song I am the hymn of sin
I'm the addiction and I'm giving in
I am the queen of the closing bar
I am the scene of the battle scar
I am the lover of the way you are
I am the lover of the way you are
Bah, dada, dada, dada
The first stanza of "One More Night" by Mark W. Curran describes a certain female persona who is "the queen of the closing bar, the scene of the battle scar, and the lover of the way you are." She could be a metaphor for a nightclub where people come to release all their inhibitions, and the singer is the embodiment of the experience. The battle scar suggests that she has been through some tough experiences in life, but she perseveres and continues to be present in this atmosphere. The third line suggests that she loves people for who they are, as they are. She accepts them for their true selves, and this acceptance can be an incredibly liberating feeling.
In the second stanza, the woman becomes more complicated. The line "I am the gravity that holds you down" suggests that although she has a wild side, she can also be grounding and hold people down to earth, preventing them from drifting too far off. She is also described as "the jewel in the thorny crown," which could mean that she is valuable but comes with complications. In the third line, "the furthest from the madding crowd," the singer is essentially pointing out that this is a person who is introverted and relishes being alone. Finally, the line "I am the seventh of the seven pounds" is somewhat enigmatic. It could signify that she is the heaviest burden that some people may carry.
In several other lines, the lyrics describe the woman's role in the lives of others. For instance, she's "the tremor of the nightmare deep," which could suggest that she's the source of some people's anxiety. She is also "the medicine that keeps you clean," which implies that she might act as a sort of tough love, giving a little push when needed. Lastly, the line "I am the telling of the fortune scheme" refers to her ability to see through people and potentially being a little superstitious.
