Mona Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Then they go look at then pass all the boys try to play grab bass
'It's gonna be late night' she said
'It's gonna be late night' she said
All she can do are the tears in her eyes, do for the cash whatever they like
'It's gonna be late night' she said
It's gonna be late night again let's go
Where's your self esteem, pay on her bill down on her knees
'It's gonna be late night' she said
It's gonna be late night again
Yes she know, she should be somewhere else I the world, but she stop right here
Yes she know, I wait ever blow that'but she want me to stay here
'It's gonna be late night' she said
'It's gonna be late night' she said
'It's gonna be late night' she said
'It's gonna be late night' she said
It's gonna be late night again
It's gonna be late night again
It's gonna be late night again
Yes she know, she should be somewhere else I the world, but she stop right here
Yes she goes' but she wants me to stay here
Then they go look at then pass all the boys try to play grab bass




'It's gonna be late night' she said
It's gonna be late night again let's go

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Mona's song "Late Night" depict a scene in a club where men are trying to grab women and party late into the night. The repeated line "It's gonna be late night" serves as a warning of the potential consequences of such behavior. The woman in the song seems resigned to the fact that all she can do is cry and let the men do whatever they want with her for money. The line "Where's your self-esteem?" suggests that this behavior is not healthy or empowering for the woman.


The song also touches on a recurring theme of feeling trapped or stuck in a situation, as the woman knows she should be somewhere else but stays in this harmful environment. Meanwhile, the singer seems willing to go along with it, even if he knows it's not right. The line "Yes she goes but she wants me to stay here" suggests that he is struggling with conflicting desires, torn between leaving and staying with the woman.


Overall, the song paints a bleak picture of the club scene and the exploitation of women for money and pleasure, but also highlights the difficulties of extricating oneself from such a situation.
