The Nite Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It ain't the way that you move me
Oh no
It ain't the way you shake
It ain't the way that you shake me
Oh no
I've got a pistol for action
Don't tell me you love me
Don't tell me you love me
Don't tell me I don't want to know
Don't tell me you love me
Don't tell me you love me
Don't tell me I don't want to know
I love the way you use
I love the way that you use me
Oh yeah
I love the way you shoot
I love the way that you shoot to kill me
Oh yeah
It's taken miles and lines
To learn the right from the wrong I'll keep you hanging on
So, don't tell me you love me
Don't tell me you love me
Don't tell me I don't want to know
Don't tell me you love me
Don't tell me you love me
Don't tell me I don't want to know
Don't tell me you love me
Don't tell me you love me
Don't tell me you love me
Don't tell me you love me
Don't tell me you love me love me, love me, yeah
Don't tell me you love me
Don't tell me you love me
Don't tell me I don't want to know
Don't tell me you love me
Don't tell me you love me
Don't tell me I don't want to know
The Nite's song "Do You Love Me" is an interesting portrayal of a complicated and intense relationship. The lyrics suggest that the singer is not interested in hearing that their partner loves them, despite expressing love for the way they are used and the way they shoot to kill the singer. The song begins by dismissing the way the partner moves or shakes them, implying that the intensity in the relationship is much deeper than superficial physical movements.
The singer goes on to express their own desire to learn the right from the wrong, suggesting that there is a sense of moral ambiguity in their relationship. The line "I'll keep you hanging on" suggests that the singer is willing to endure the ups and downs of the relationship, despite the risks and dangers involved. The use of the phrase "shoot to kill" suggests that the intensity in the relationship is competitive and potentially dangerous, as if the partner is trying to win over the singer's affection.
Overall, the song portrays a complicated, intense, and potentially dangerous relationship, where the singer is unwilling to hear the typical expressions of love from their partner. It suggests a love that is complicated and potentially destructive, where the participants are willing to put themselves in danger to keep the relationship alive.
