Tonight, Tonight Lyrics
Is never time at all
You can never ever leave
Without leaving a piece of you
We will never be the same
The more you change, the less you feel
Believe in me
Believe, Believe!
That you're not stuck in vain
Tonight, Tonight
So bright
Tonight, Tonight
But you're sure you could be right
If you held yourself up to the light
In the city by the lake
The place where you were born
Believe in me
Believe, Believe!
And if you believe there's not a chance
Tonight, Tonight
So bright
Tonight, Tonight
Tonight, Tonight
We'll make things right
We'll feel it all
Tonight, Tonight
We'll find a way to offer up the night
Tonight
The indescribable moments of your life
Tonight
The impossible is possible
Tonight, Tonight
Tonight
Tonight, Tonight
Tonight, Tonight
I think this song is encouragement to be true to yourself and to believe in yourself. It says you should live in the moment and not the past. It's not so much about any one night in my opinion, but I art is in the eye of the beholder.
I'd suggest taking a look at the song as a piece of a bigger whole. It's a prelude to the Mellon Collie album as a collective work. The passing of time is a key theme throughout MCIS, and I think "Tonight, Tonight" is the explaination of that. It's sort of the band's way (well... Billy's way) of saying "This is where we are, this is what we feel, and this is what tonight is about". They "crucify the insincere" through Zero, Bullet with Butterfly Wings, An Ode, etc.. In other songs, Corgan "make[s] things right" with personal messages about his childhood and relationships. And finally, he "finds a way to offer up the night" in the twilight of the album, the closing tracks of the second disc. The "indescribable moments" are simple the feelings conveyed by the music.
Ain't that a nice interpertation? :)
awesome song. the night that i found out that my now ex was already with another guy, i drove up to my church around 10pm and i was listening to this song. i couldn't help but cry. the orchestral parts of the song are phenomenal and i totally love it. i just wish that she would have believed in me as i believed in her..thanks.

For years I thought the last line said "Believe in me as I'm leaving you, tonight"

It made it very sad to me, and kind of confirms your sense of it

I hope you got over it okay

yes it is a great song and all but there is real meaning and incredible history behind this song. The film playing in the background is one of the first films, by George M`elies from Paris. It is called A trip to the moon. He took cinema to what they considered a new level of sophistication. George Melies was the first film maker to realize he could put dreams on film, rather than reality. However when WWI came the soldiers had seen, well, horrible reality, and the film maker could not change with their taste so he gave up on...

However when WWI came the soldiers had seen, well, horrible reality, and the film maker could not change with their taste so he gave up on himself and stopped making films even though they had been of the utmost inspiration and progress. This song is about pushing through and persevering, to believe in yourself and bring all your new ideas into this hectic world...." though you know your never sure, but your sure you could be right, if you held yourself up to the light... believe in me as i believe in you....tonight.....the impossible is possible tonight..."

Maybe I get this sense because of personal reasons, but this was me and my gf's song. We listened to it all the time. A few months ago she told me she didn't love me and felt like we didn't have a connection. I found out from her friends she hadn't been in love with me for a while and that she'd pretended cause she didn't have the guts to tell me. I think the song is about something like that. When someone you love so much takes a piece of you and you're never the same, and you and her are suddenly different. You just want her to believe in you as you believe in her tonight, but maybe it's more general because any broken relationship takes a piece of you. Tonight.
@Niradiopumpkins idk if you’ll see this but you’re story is very similar to my brothers. Him and his gf loved this band. He then got very sick and they broke up. You also right very similarly to my brother. Kind of eerie to me.

Yes, this is a great song and all but there is real history behind it.. About a man named George Melies from Paris. He was the creator of one of the first films called, A Trip to the Moon, this film is the film that plays in the music video. Melies was a pioneer of cinema, the first man to realize you could put your dreams into film, as many have said, he took cinema to what they considered in 1902, a new level of sophistication.

However after WWI had came the taste of the people had change, but he had not changed with it, no one was interested in his films of dreams anymore. He no longer believed in himself, so him and his wife sold the films and tried to forget. But this man changed the world of cinema, and look how cinema has changed our lives today, how much our lives revolve around it; yet the man lost his belief in himself, something no one ever should......"And you know you're never sure But you're sure you could be right If you held yourself up to the light"......
"Tonight The impossible is possible Tonight Believe in me as I believe in you Tonight".............. Amazing what makes it so far into the future isn't it...
