Tonight
RÃFÃS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We're coming alive
The dead are arising
The night is coming to life
I'm kicking around day by day
I'm losing my mind every Sunday
I try to look back in my shade
I feel it coming in
The storm coming out
The temperature within
Is cooling me down
I hear them creeping in
They're calling me out
The colder warning is freaking me out
And tonight
We're coming alive
The dead are arising
The night is coming to life
And tonight
We're coming alive
The dead are arising
The night is coming to life
I'm tripping up walls, over bones
The look in my eyes everyone knows
A quivering light, a distant glow
Taking my breath, and it goes
I feel it coming in
The storm coming out
The temperature within
Is cooling me down
I hear them creeping in
They're calling me out
The colder warning is freaking me out
Is freaking me out
Is freaking me out
(And tonight)
And tonight
We're coming alive
The dead are arising
The night is coming to life
And tonight
We're coming alive
The dead are arising
The night is coming to life
The opening lines of the chorus in the song Tonight by RÜFÜS, sets the tone for a night of frenzied revelry. The lyrics suggest that everyone in the song is coming alive and the dead are arising.

The artist is trying to convey that the night is coming to life, and a host of experiences await those who embrace it.
The first verse talks about the artist’s monotonous life where he is kicking around day by day and losing his mind every Sunday. Sundays are usually a day of rest; instead, the artist feels bored and tired. He tries to reflect back on his life but ends up getting lost and feeling over his head, implying that life is too much to handle. In the second verse, the artist seems to be losing control, and the stormy weather is like a metaphor for his life.
