Stay the Night
Zedd Hayley Williams of Paramore Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So hold your tongue and hear me out
I know that we were made to break so what? I don't mind
You kill the lights, I'll draw the blinds
Don't dull the sparkle in your eyes
I know that we were made to break so what? I don't mind
Are you gonna stay the night
Oh oh oh oh, are you gonna stay the night
Are you gonna stay the night
Doesn't mean we're bound for life
So oh oh oh, are you gonna stay the night
Are you gonna stay the night
Doesn't mean we're bound for life
So oh oh oh, are you gonna stay the night
I am fire gasoline,
Come pour yourself all over me
We'll let this place go down in flames only one more time
You kill the lights, I'll draw the blinds
Don't dull the sparkle in your eyes
I know that we were made to break
So what? I don't mind
Are you gonna stay the night
Are you gonna stay the night
Oh oh oh oh, are you gonna stay the night
Are you gonna stay the night
Doesn't mean we're bound for life
So oh oh oh, are you gonna stay the night (Night)
Are you gonna stay the night
Are you gonna stay the night
Doesn't mean we're bound for life
So oh oh oh, are you gonna stay the night
(Are you gonna stay the night)
(Are you gonna stay the night)
(Oh oh oh oh, are you gonna stay the night)
The lyrics of Zedd and Hayley Williams' "Stay The Night" describe a relationship that is not built to last, but the singers are willing to enjoy the moment anyway. The first verse acknowledges that the relationship is "upside down" and "made to break," but the singer still wants to be heard. The second verse is more emotional, with the singer declaring themselves to be "fire gasoline" and urging the other person to "pour yourself all over me." The chorus asks the question of whether or not the other person will "stay the night," and acknowledges that it doesn't mean they are "bound for life."
Overall, the song is an anthem for living in the moment and enjoying a relationship for what it is, instead of trying to make it into something more. It's about accepting the temporary nature of relationships and finding joy in the time that you have with someone.

You kill the lights, I'll draw the blinds
Let's create an intimate atmosphere by turning off the lights and closing the curtains.
Don't dull the sparkle in your eyes
Don't hide or suppress your emotions or enthusiasm.
Are you gonna stay the night
Do you want to spend the night with me?
Doesn't mean we're bound for life

I am passionate and intense.
Come pour yourself all over me
Let's engage in a physical and emotional connection.
We'll let this place go down in flames only one more time

Don't dull the sparkle in your eyes
I know that we were made to break
So what? I don't mind

You cue the lights, I'll draw the blinds
Don't dull the sparkle in your eyes
I know that we were made to break
So what? I don't mind
Are you gonna stay the night?
