ANOTHER SLEEPLESS NIGHT
Mike Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Another sleepless night,
I sit alone and cry,
Twilight time 'til dawn,
Memories linger on,
Since we said goodbye.

Throughout that sleepless night,
No matter what I do,
You're always on my mind,
And though you're gone I find,
I'm still in love with you.

Shadows fall, and I recall,
The love that you once had for me.
Miss you so, when lights are low,
I think of things that use to be.

You're always in my heart,
Although you're out of sight,
Lonely teardrops burn,
As I toss and turn,
Another sleepless night.

Although you're out of sight,
Lonely teardrops burn,




As I toss and turn,
Another sleepless night.

In MIKE's song "Another Sleepless Night," the singer is consumed with memories and thoughts of a past love. The song begins with the title phrase, "Another sleepless night," and the singer's admission that they are alone and crying, unable to shake the memories of their past love. The "twilight time 'til dawn" emphasizes the long and painful nature of the night that follows.


Despite trying to distract themselves and move on, the singer is unable to stop thinking about their former love. They admit that "no matter what I do" their thoughts always seem to come back to their ex-partner. The lyrics "shadows fall, and I recall / the love that you once had for me" show that the singer is reflecting on happier times, but the repetition of the phrase "lonely teardrops burn / as I toss and turn" highlights the pain and loneliness they now feel.

The repetition of the phrase "although you're out of sight" emphasizes that the love is ongoing even though they are no longer together, and the final lines "lonely teardrops burn / as I toss and turn / another sleepless night" bring the song full circle, returning to the sleepless nights that are a constant reminder of their loss.

As it was my duty not to let a fierce track go unheard, I actually had to introduce this version to STL in '93 as they (the Kids) only knew the vocal at the time from my predecessors in turntablism (not that that's bad, but I just had a penchant for dubs),
