Nights
Vinnie Who Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Believe me when I say
that I can show you more or less the painless way

The sidewalk

You better use the sidewalk
feel the flow

Continue with no dread
you only stop when traffic lights are red

The sidewalk

You better use the sidewalk,
don't you know?

In the middle of the night in the middle of the night
he'll be hanging by your side
and I know that
I know that you have to go you got to get go
He is only in your mind and you don't stop until the morning is set

Do you believe me when I say
that I can show you more or less the painless way

The sidewalk

You better use the sidewalk,
don't you know

So if you take a look around (do you believe it)
the tenderness, no accidents

The sidewalk

You better use the sidewalk,
be your own

In the middle of the night in the middle of the night
he'll be hanging by your side
and I know that
I know that you have to go you got to get go
He is only in your mind and you don't stop until the morning is set

In the middle of the night in the middle of the night
he'll be hanging by your side
and I know that
I know that you have to go you got to get go
he is only in your mind and you don't stop until the morning is set!

In the middle of the night
He is always by your side

He is always by your side
He is always by your side

Overall Meaning

The song "Nights" by Vinnie Who is a sleek pop track that urges you to walk down the street. The opening line of the song "Believe me when I say that I can show you more or less the painless way" can be seen as an invitation to trust the singer and the journey he wants to take the listener on. The singer encourages the listener to use the sidewalk, to "feel the flow" and "continue with no dread." It's a message of liberation, encouraging listeners to move forward without fear, only stopping when the traffic lights turn red. The sidewalk can be seen as a metaphor for life, encouraging the listener to be their truest selves and to walk, not run, at a comfortable pace.

The chorus further emphasizes the message of the song, encouraging the listener to use the sidewalk and not let anything stand in their way. The repetition of "in the middle of the night" can be seen as a way of saying that this journey is one that can be taken at any time, at the listener's own pace. The line "he'll be hanging by your side" can be interpreted in different ways, but it could be that the "he" refers to the shadow or fear that follows us in life, and that we must push past it and keep walking until the morning sets. The song could be interpreted as a motivational anthem, urging the listener to keep moving forward and not let anything stand in their way.
