THINKING OF YOU
The Night VI Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Shoot the lights off
It's too bright to say goodbye
And you're looking kinda rough
You say this so many times
And all the while you're away
playing me down
Like a house of cards
My hand in yours

I could spend forever
Filling the sky
Life is full of trouble
And you know why

I lay low
In my hotel room
Thinking of you
When I'm the loneliest I've been
After a few
I'm still thinking of you
And every time the pills are trying to hide
This empty bedside
I'm done with being alone
I'm done with being alone
I'm still thinking of you

2:
Loved a ghost tonight
You never looked me in the eye
Its just gone 6.45
I couldn't sleep I'm too alive

If this was forever
We're playing to lose
Life is full of lovers
But you don't choose

(I lay low) I lay low
(In my hotel room) in my hotel room
Thinking of you
And I'm the loneliest I've been
After a few
I'm still thinking of you
And every time the pills are trying to hide
This empty bedside
I'm done with being alone
I'm done with being alone
I'm still thinking of you

I lay low (I lay low)
In my hotel room (in my hotel room)
Thinking of you
(And I'm the loneliest I've been) the loneliest I've been
(After a few I'm still Thinking of you)
And every time the pills are trying to hide this empty bedside
I'm done with being alone




I'm done with being alone
I'm still thinking of you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of The Night VI's song "Thinking of You" seem to be about the lingering thoughts and emotions a person experiences after a relationship ends. The first verse talks about the difficulty of saying goodbye and the conflicting feelings of being in a relationship that is falling apart. The metaphor of a house of cards suggests a fragile relationship that could collapse at any moment. The chorus speaks of the desire to escape from these troubles and be with the person they are thinking of. The second verse introduces the idea that the relationship was with someone who is already gone, someone they cannot truly connect with. The line "life is full of lovers but you don't choose" suggests a sense of resignation that some things are beyond our control. The repetition of "Thinking of You" throughout the song adds to the sense of longing and the inability to move on.


The second half of the chorus paints a vivid picture of the singer's loneliness. They are stuck in a hotel room, trying to find relief through pills, but nothing seems to work. The phrase "empty bedside" is particularly haunting, suggesting a sense of emptiness and loss that cannot be filled. The repetition of "I'm done with being alone" shows that despite their efforts to push past their feelings, they are still thinking of the person they long for.


Overall, "Thinking of You" is a poignant and reflective song that captures the lingering emotions of a relationship that has ended. The use of vivid metaphors and repetition adds to the powerful sense of longing and loss that runs throughout the lyrics.

On a mission to note down the lyrics to some of their songs. This is especially a great one!! Lyrics may not be accurate everywhere but I tried :)

Shoot the lights off,
It's too bright to say goodbye,
And you're looking kinda rough,
You say this so many times,
And all the while away playing me down,
Like a house of cards,
My hand in yours ooooh,
I could spend forever feeling the sky,
And life is full of trouble and you know why.

I lay low,
In my hotel room,
Thinking of you,
And I'm the loneliest I've been after a few,
I'm still thinking of you,
And every time the pills are tryna hide this empty bedside,
I'm done with being alone,
I'm done with being alone,
I'm still thinking of you,

Loved a ghost night,
Who never looked me in the eye,
It's just gone 6:45,
I couldn't sleep am too alive ohhh,
This voice forever playing to lose,
Life is full of lovers but you don't choose.

(I lay low) I lay low
(In my hotel room) In my hotel room
Thinking of you,
And I'm the loneliest I've been after a few,
I'm still thinking of you,
And every time the pills are tryna hide this empty bedside,
I'm done with being alone,
I'm done with being alone,
I'm still thinking of you.

Ohhh... ... ...

I lay low (I lay low),
In my hotel room (In my hotel room),
Thinking of you,
(And I'm the loneliest I've been) The loneliest I've been (after a few),
(I'm still) Thinking of you
And every time the pills are tryna hide this empty bedside,
I'm done with being alone,
I'm done with being alone,
And I'm still thinking of you.

Me and my girl were sat together in our favorite restaurant, then this song came on - we just stopped and looked into each others eyes as this song played. God what a moment :)

From beginning to end this song is so perfect.
