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)

Overall Meaning

The song "Stay the Night" by Zedd feat. Hayley Williams is an upbeat electronic dance track with lyrics that reflect the passion and uncertainty of a new relationship. The opening lines, "I know that we are upside down, so hold your tongue and hear me out" suggest a sense of disorientation or confusion, perhaps due to the intensity of their feelings or the uncertainty of their future together. Despite this, the singer seems willing to take the risk, stating "I know that we were made to break so what? I don't mind."


The chorus, with its repeated question "Are you gonna stay the night?" captures the urgency and longing of the singer's desire to deepen their connection. However, they also acknowledge that staying the night doesn't necessarily mean they are committed for life. The line "Doesn't mean we're bound for life" suggests a level of detachment or guardedness, as if they are aware that the relationship may not last but are willing to enjoy the moment anyway.


The second verse introduces the image of the singer as "fire gasoline" and invites their partner to "pour yourself all over me," emphasizing the physical passion and intensity of their attraction. Again, the singer seems aware of the potential for things to end badly, but is willing to take the risk with lines like "We'll let this place go down in flames only one more time."


Overall, "Stay the Night" is a catchy and energetic track that captures the excitement, uncertainty, and passion of a new relationship, while acknowledging the possibility of heartbreak or eventual separation.

"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?
