Lonely Nights
TNT Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All you crave are sleeping days
Numb interrupted
Blindness is your favourite game
You're hated

Paranoid and insecure
Cracking in your shell
Antisocial, unattached
You?'re wasted

Disenchanted one, used to breathe in the sun
Now the black cloud follows you

Say goodbye to the light and watch it fade
As you try to hold the rain
These lonely nights, holding on

Dancing monkey on your back
Karma at the door
Spinning room is sinking fast
Embrace it

Disconnected one, everyone is gone
And you can't get out of here

Say goodbye to the light and watch it fade
As you try to hold the rain
These lonely nights, holding on
Say hello to the demons in your mind
And the love you left behind
These lonely nights, holding on

Disillusioned friend, can you still pretend
That there's nothing killing you

Say goodbye to the light and watch it fade
As you try to hold the rain
These lonely nights, holding on
Say hello to the demons in your mind




And the love you left behind
These lonely nights, holding on

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "Lonely Nights" by TNT describe a person who is struggling with loneliness, despair, and mental health issues. The opening lines suggest that the person is so tired of their insomnia that they crave days of sleep, but even then, their sleep gets interrupted. They are blinded by their own insecurities and paranoia, and they feel hate from others. Their feelings of being disconnected and alone lead them to feel "wasted."


The chorus suggests that the person is holding onto the little hope that they have, saying goodbye to the fading light and attempting to hold onto the rain. The lyrics of the second verse describe the person feeling like they have the weight of the world on their back, with a "dancing monkey" representing their ever-present anxieties. Despite being disconnected from others, they have to embrace their anxieties sinking in the room fast.


The bridge suggests that the person has given up on the idea of happiness and has succumbed to their dark thoughts. They cannot sustain positivity, so they embrace the demons in their mind, feeling like they have left behind love and a brighter life. The song is a powerful depiction of someone who is struggling with depression and mental health problems and is desperately trying to hold on.

Lyrics

All you crave are sleeping days
Numb interrupted
Blindness is your favourite game
You're hated

Paranoid and insecure
Cracking in your shell
Antisocial, unattached
You?’re wasted

Disenchanted one, used to breathe in the sun
Now the black cloud follows you

Say goodbye to the light and watch it fade
As you try to hold the rain
These lonely nights, holding on

Dancing monkey on your back
Karma at the door
Spinning room is sinking fast
Embrace it

Disconnected one, everyone is gone
And you can't get out of here

Say goodbye to the light and watch it fade
As you try to hold the rain
These lonely nights, holding on
Say hello to the demons in your mind
And the love you left behind
These lonely nights, holding on

Disillusioned friend, can you still pretend
That there's nothing killing you

Say goodbye to the light and watch it fade
As you try to hold the rain
These lonely nights, holding on
Say hello to the demons in your mind
And the love you left behind
These lonely nights, holding on
