Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
Vanguarde Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I'm watching the late show in my flat all alone
How I hate to spend the evening on my own
Autumn winds
Blowing outside the window as I look around the room
And it makes me so depressed to see the phone
There's not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayer
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase these shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day
Movie stars
Find the end of the rainbow, with that fortune to win
It's so different from the world I'm living in
Tired of T.V.
I open the window and I gaze into the night
But there's nothing there to see, no one in sight
There's not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayer
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase these shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
There's not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayer
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase these shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase these shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day
The song “Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!” by Swedish band Vanguarde is a classic dance-pop hit, first released in 1997. The song is about a woman who is feeling lonely and isolated, spending the evening watching the late show on TV all by herself. Even the autumn winds outside the window depress her more, and she longs for someone to be with her, someone to talk to, and share the moment with. She looks around the room and wishes someone to pick up the phone, but there is no one there. She feels so down and sad as if nobody hears her prayer. She craves a man to take her through the darkness of the night into the break of the day.
The chorus of “Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!” is almost a plea for help and an expression of desperation. It is the cry of the woman who longs for a man to chase away the shadows and the loneliness. She is just asking for someone to be with her, to share the moment, to be close to her, and hold her tight. The song's catchy beat adds to the longing and desperation expressed in the lyrics. It is a song about the power of human connection, the need for love, and the hope that someone eventually comes to share the night with the singer.
