Bring the Night On Lyrics
OKAY
I'm boring you
I'm warning you tonight,
Is not the night for fights, lies white or otherwise
My mood isn't better yet
Sober and humorless
if you can't handle this, roll off the mattress
I'm trying to let you know that your not just another
When you're under the covers I'm under your thumb
And your the finest of specimens
Leaving me breathless
Reeling and restless, putting me to the test
Turn the light off
Leave me where i lay
Bring the night on
Not another day
OKAY
I'm lying when I'm telling you you're right
but you don't like the truth served straight or otherwise,
I'm an insomniac
Tossing and turning and,
getting repetitive swallow a sedative
I'm trying to let you know that your not just another
When you're under the covers I'm under your thumb
And your the finest of specimens
Leaving me breathless
Reeling and restless, putting me to the test
I'm boring you
I'm warning you tonight,
Is not the night for fights, lies white or otherwise
My mood isn't better yet
Sober and humorless
if you can't handle this, roll off the mattress
I'm trying to let you know that your not just another
When you're under the covers I'm under your thumb
And your the finest of specimens
Leaving me breathless
Reeling and restless, putting me to the test
Leave me where i lay
Bring the night on
Not another day
I'm lying when I'm telling you you're right
but you don't like the truth served straight or otherwise,
I'm an insomniac
Tossing and turning and,
getting repetitive swallow a sedative
When you're under the covers I'm under your thumb
And your the finest of specimens
Leaving me breathless
Reeling and restless, putting me to the test

When I hear this song, I envision a couple fighting. She's picking a fight, and he's loves her dearly, but he's becoming tired trying to tell her that over and over. She's putting him "to the test," and he's trying to tell her that she's "not just another," but he's getting so sick of it. His mood "isnt better yet, sober and humorless," and he's just kindof given up. He's just saying "turn the light off, leave me where I lay" not wanting to go through another day of fighting.
I think he is arguing with a girl who doesn't wanna listen to their fact that their relationship is failing("but you don't like the truth served straight or otherwise.") so he saying too bad heres the truth ("Is not the night for fights, lies white or otherwise")and i still love you(I'm trying to let you know that your not just another"). and i agree with it sounding like "Tossing and turning that, is getting repetative, swallow a sedative."
Okay, I could be totally wrong, but here's what I think. I think it's about a couple who have a lot of problems, but it's about how at night, having sex, it really defines the relationship and how he feels about her. He's saying they argue during the day, "I'm warning you tonight is not the night for fights, lies white or otherwise. My mood isn't better yet, sober and humorless." This is all he feels like he's getting from being with her, but at the same time, "I'm trying to let you know, you're not just another," She's not like any other girl, "You're under the covers, I'm under your thumb." When they're together like that, she's the only one, and he can't say no to her. But she's argumentative and it's difficult, "Okay I'm lying when I'm telling you you're right, but you don't like the truth served straight or otherwise." So, he's just trying to tell her "You're the finest of specimens," but the truth is, it's a really messed up relationship with lots of arguing.
Okay, wow that was long. I'ma shut up now.
I completely agree with your interpretation. I wouldn't have said that the sex defines the relationship, but I think that's right, b/c that's the things he saying to appease her, telling her how great the sex is.
What I don't get is why he's telling her to turn off the light and leave him alone, yet he's an insomniac and needs a sedative. IS she the one keeping him awake and making him be an insomniac?

this song is sexy
what does "under your thumb" mean?
Being under someone's thumb means that they have some kind of control or power over you.
The song is actually called "Bring the Night On"
i think its about this girl whos kinda flakey full of shit but he cant help being crazy about her
Yeah, it is called "Bring the Night On". How can we get the title changed on this page?
To me, it's about not wanting someone to leave you, and doing whatever it takes and taking whatever abuse just to get them to stay.
