Those Nights
Skillet - ♥ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We used to laugh
About nothing at all
It was better than going mad
From trying to solve all the problems we're going through
Forget 'em all
'Cause all those nights we would stand and never fall
Together we faced it all
Stay up late and we'd talk all night
In a dark room lit by the tv light
Through all the hard times in my life
Those nights kept me alive
We'd listen to the radio play all night
Didn't want to go home to another fight
Through all the hard times in my life
Those nights kept me alive
I remember when
We used to drive
Anywhere but here
As long as we'd forget our lives
We were so young and confused that we didn't know
To laugh or cry
Those nights were ours
They will live and never die
Together we'd stand forever
Remember when we'd
Those nights belong to us
There's nothing wrong with us
I remember when
We used to laugh
And now I wish those nights would last
Skillet's song "Those Nights" is a reflective and emotive melody that reminisces on the times when everything was simpler and the carefree moments that helped the singer through the hard times. The opening lines speak of the happy times when the singer and someone else would laugh and talk about anything and everything, forgetting all their problems. The energy and joy of those moments kept them from feeling overwhelmed and helpless with their problems. The song is a tribute to the power of friendship and how it can bring comfort and hope even in the darkest times. The chorus emphasizes this, as they sing about staying up late and talking until dawn, listening to the radio and forgetting their problems. The words "those nights kept me alive" are repeated, illustrating how important those moments were to the singer and how much they miss them now.
The second verse shares a sense of adventure as the singer and their companion used to drive aimlessly, trying to escape all their responsibilities and hardships. They were young and did not know whether to laugh or cry, but they always had each other to lean on. The balance of humor and sadness, of remembering and longing for the past, is beautifully captured in this song. The refrain, "Those nights belong to us, there's nothing wrong with us," is another reminder of how strong their friendship was, and how it withstood all the trials and tribulations of life.
