(Late night in the club, yeah)

See you faded, late night in the club, yeah
Trying to find one to love, yeah
Fiendin' for the touch, but if they come to strong, you'll be gone in the morning
Come find me in the V.I.P.
'Cause I'll complete your fantasies
Leave them all on read, so you can have all of me, oh
Ohh, I give you more
Ohh, yeah
Ohh, I give you more
Leave them players, 'cause I'm the one you want

Tell me when you're ready we can hit the gas
Hands on the wheel, 100 on the dash
Don't be afraid to go fast
Love the way you do your dance
Tell me when you're ready we can hit the gas
Hands on the wheel, 100 on the dash
Don't be afraid to go fast
Love the way you do it

I love it
Love the way you
Love the way you do it
Love the way you dance
Love it
Love the way you
Love the way you do it
Love the way you dance

Been spending my nights in the club
I know I've been here too long
The liquor pourin' up, now my heart's so numb
Doing the wrong things to right my wrongs, yeah
Someone to love is all I want
These nights have left me so alone
But that light in your eyes is like God tellin' me that you're the one
Baby, I know I'm faded
But that shouldn't change what I'm sayin'
With you, I don't feel no pain
For you, I wanna do the same, yeah
Hope you don't mind I'm a little bit damaged
Then again is there anyone who isn't
In this cold world
Oh will you be my girl

Tell me when you're ready we can hit the gas
Hands on the wheel, 100 on the dash
Don't be afraid to go fast
Love the way you do your dance
Tell me when you're ready we can hit the gas
Hands on the wheel, 100 on the dash
Don't be afraid to go fast
Love the way you do it

I love it
Love the way you
Love the way you do it
Love the way you dance
I love it
Love the way you




Love the way you do it
Love the way you dance

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The Ø's song "Moonlight" speak about being lost in the club scene and searching for love. The persona is looking for someone to complete their fantasies and give them more, but they fear being hurt in the morning by a too-strong advance. Despite this fear, the persona promises to give their all and make their date feel right. As they hit the gas and speed away into the night, they feel no pain and hope that their date will be their girl.


The song represents the universal desire for love in a post-modern world of fleeting relationships and hyper-connectivity. It comments on the emptiness of the night club scene and how the search for love can lead us to dangerous places, yet we continue to return to those places. The line "someone to love is all I want" sums up this longing for connection in a world that often seems to prioritize superficial connections.

I see you here in the club inebriated and enjoying the nightlife


Trying to find one to love, yeah
You're searching for someone to genuinely care for


Fiendin' for the touch, but if they come to strong, you'll be gone in the morning
You crave intimacy, but you don't want anyone who comes on too strong and won't stick around


Come find me in the V.I.P.
You should come to the VIP area and hang out with me


'Cause I'll complete your fantasies
I can fulfill your fantasies and desires


Leave them all on read, so you can have all of me, oh
I won't pay attention to anyone else, so you can have my full attention


Ohh, I give you more
I am willing to give more than anyone else


Leave them players, 'cause I'm the one you want
Forget those players and choose me, I'm the one you truly desire


Tell me when you're ready we can hit the gas
Let me know when you're ready to take things up a notch


Hands on the wheel, 100 on the dash
Let's go fast, put your hands on the wheel and speed up to 100mph

I love it
I absolutely adore it


Make you feel right
I'll make you feel good and comfortable


Dancing in the moonlight
Dancing together in the beautiful moonlight


Been spending my nights in the club
I've been coming to this club every night


I know I've been here too long
I'm aware that I've been here for too many nights


The liquor pourin' up, now my heart's so numb
Drinking too much is causing me to feel numb and detached from my emotions


Doing the wrong things to right my wrongs, yeah
I've been making poor choices to correct my past mistakes


Someone to love is all I want
All I truly want is someone to love and care for


These nights have left me so alone
These lonely nights have only made me feel more isolated and alone


But that light in your eyes is like God tellin' me that you're the one
The way you look at me feels like a divine, spiritual confirmation that you're the one


Baby, I know I'm faded
I'm aware that I'm drunk and not thinking straight


But that shouldn't change what I'm sayin'
My current state of being intoxicated shouldn't undermine the sincerity of my words


With you, I don't feel no pain
Being with you makes me forget all my troubles and worries


For you, I wanna do the same thing
I want to create that feeling of happiness and contentment for you as well


Hope you don't mind I'm a little bit damaged
I hope you can accept me even though I'm a little bit broken and imperfect


Then again is there anyone who isn't
Ultimately, everyone has their flaws and imperfections, so I'm just like everyone else


In this cold world
Living in this cruel and harsh world


Oh will you be my girl
Will you be the one to love and care for me?


Ah, Ah, Ah
