White Nights
The Postelles Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Til you give me a taste
I wanna feel like that
Now I shake, and you sweat
And we'll dance, no let's sing
'Cause now I feel like that
Maybe we can stop this (I wish we never started)
Tell me what to do
I wanna feel okay
I got a problem and it drains my soul
Don't tell, nobody knows
I used to feel all right, now I'm you-you-you-uptight
'Cause the white night, oh oh
The white night, woah
White night for me
It's a long way down in New York City
And I fell so fast, it wasn't pretty
It's a long way down, but I wanna go
Oh, and I'm a systematic automatic city really misses at
All I really care about is knowing where my head is at
Oh, cause I'm a systematic automatic city really dizzy track
Oh, tell me do you like that? (I think I like that)
Maybe we can stop this (I wish we never started)
Tell me what to do
To make this go away
I got a problem and it drains my soul
Don't tell, nobody knows
I used to feel all right, now I'm you-you-you-uptight
'Cause the white night, oh oh
The white night, woah
White night for me
'Cause it's a long way down in New York City
The Postelles's song White Nights is a highly expressive and relatable song. The song is about the ups and the downs of relationships, and how sometimes we get addicted to the experience of being with someone. The first set of lyrics expresses this tension: "I won't go, I won't stay 'Til you give me a taste I wanna feel like that." The singer is addicted to the feeling of being with their partner, and they cannot leave until they get that feeling again.
Later on in the song, the lyrics take a darker turn: "I got a problem and it drains my soul Don't tell, nobody knows I used to feel all right, now I'm you-you-you-uptight 'Cause the white night, oh oh The white night, woah White night for me." The singer is aware that they have a real problem, but they cannot deny the overwhelming addiction they have for their partner. The "white night" they refer to is the tension-filled nights where they cannot sleep thinking about their relationship.
The song's repeated line "Tell me what to do, to make this go away" emphasizes the feeling of being desperate and powerless over their addiction. Overall, the song is an honest reflection of the struggles in relationships, the power of addiction, and the fear of letting go.

I was talking with Lucas Neff about this song and he feels so bipolar about this one. He heard it soo many times during filming and so on, but its such a delightful song.
