Lyric discussion by LuvMartinGore 

Cover art for But Not Tonight lyrics by Depeche Mode

I agree with ezboy1000...it's about having that one day where, for once, you don't feel like shit. It's that moment where you see a faint glimmer of optimism, of being happy or satisfied. Just for a day, you feel alive and not weighed down by the usual drama and drudgery.

Only a genius like Martin could write something that manages to be inspiring, yet dark all at the same time.
