Stay the Night
Zedd ft. Hayley Williams (Paramore) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know that we are upside down
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
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)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Zedd ft. Hayley Williams's song Stay The Night depict a passionate and intense relationship. The first verse acknowledges the fact that the relationship may not be conventional and may not last forever, but the singer is willing to experience it nonetheless. The chorus repeatedly asks the question of whether or not the other person is going to stay the night, emphasizing the temporary nature of their connection. The second verse is more sensual, with the comparison of the singer to "fire gasoline" and the suggestion to "let this place go down in flames only one more time." Despite the awareness that their relationship may not last, both parties seem willing to fully enjoy it in the present moment.


The lyrics can be interpreted in different ways, but overall, it seems to be a song about embracing the moment and living life with passion, even if things may not last forever. Both the verse and chorus lyrics come together to form a cohesive message of being in the moment, enjoying life and letting things develop, without worrying too much about the future.

"Stay The Night"
(with Hayley Williams of Paramore)

[Hayley Williams]
I know that we are upside down
So hold your tongue and hear me out
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?
Are you gonna stay the night?
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?

[Beat break]

Are you gonna stay the night?
Doesn't mean we're bound for life
So oh oh, are you gonna stay the night?

I am a fire, gasoline,
Come pour yourself all over me
We'll let this place go down in flames only one more time

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?
Are you gonna stay the night?
Oh oh oh, are you gonna stay the night?

Are you gonna stay the night? (we get burned!)
Doesn't mean we're bound for life (we never learn!)
So oh oh, are you gonna stay the night?
Night night night night night...

[Beat break]

ARE YOU GONNA STAY THE NIGHT?!

[Beat break]

Are you gonna stay the night?
Doesn't mean we're bound for life
So oh oh, are you gonna stay the night?

[Zedd:]
Are you gonna stay the night?
Are you gonna stay the night?
Oh oh oh oh.
Are you gonna stay the night?
