We Won't Last The Night
Prinze George Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And talk about you more
I'd like to take you dancing
Always under duress
I need a hoverboard
My feet could use enhancing
You can be so condescending
You can be so condescending
Am I the only one here who isn't pretending
To be fine?
We won't last the night
But you′re making me feel things
We are not alright
But at least I can feel it
We won′t last the night
But you're making me feel things
We are not alright
But at least I can feel it
My nature has a price
I like to look around
I see you in a corner
You think you′re so discreet
The way you play both sides
But I am getting warmer
You can be so condescending
Am I the only one here who isn't pretending?
You can be so condescending
Am I the only one here who isn′t pretending
To be fine?
We won't last the night
But you′re making me feel things
We are not alright
But at least I can feel it
We won't last the night
But you're making me feel things
We are not alright
But at least I can feel it
I′m a bitter bitch
And I despise you for it
But you did not cut off my tongue
I′m a bitter bitch
And I despise you for it
But you did not cut off my tongue
The lyrics of "We Won't Last the Night" by Prinze George convey the singer's mixed feelings about a tumultuous relationship. They want to talk more about their partner but are also resentful of them. The singer feels like they need a change, represented by the desire for a hoverboard and improved feet, and they are aware of their partner's manipulative tendencies, calling them out for being condescending and playing both sides. Despite all of this, the singer is still drawn to the relationship and the emotional intensity it brings. The repetitions of "we won't last the night" highlight a sense of impending doom and the recognition that the relationship is not sustainable.
The first verse of the song sets up the tension between wanting to be with the partner and feeling frustrated with them. The desire to take them dancing is undercut by the feeling of duress, suggesting that there are unresolved issues and tensions in the relationship. The second verse highlights the singer's awareness of their partner's manipulations, including playing both sides, which contributes to the sense of tension and instability in the relationship. Despite this, the singer is still drawn to the intensity of the relationship, even though they recognize that it won't last.
In the chorus, the singer acknowledges that the relationship is not healthy or sustainable, but still values the way it makes them feel. The line "at least I can feel it" suggests that the intensity of the relationship, even in its dysfunction, is better than feeling nothing at all. The final verse repeats the singer's bitterness towards their partner, but also acknowledges that they still have agency and their voice has not been silenced.
