Tonight is a nostalgic song by The Well Wishers that reminisces on the memories of past love lost. The song paints a vivid picture of a bittersweet memories shared with a former lover.
The opening verse speaks of laying in bed nostalgically reflecting on the love they once shared. Suddenly, the feelings of hurt and pain from the break-up come flooding in, and the singer reassures themself that eventually the pain will ease off.
The chorus speaks of how the darkness of tonight will soon pass, and the heartache will end as the sun of hope rises in the sky. The singer expresses determination to find love and peace again despite the lonely nights they have to endure in the meantime.
The second verse speaks of the realization of what it took to get through the pain and hurt. The singer hopes that the person who broke their heart will understand and forgive them, and knows that they can learn to be independent even though it is hard to be on their own.
The bridge, the song’s climax, declares that custody of the heart is no longer held, and that the most important thing in life is to bring “Love in color.” This symbolizes the need to close the chapter of the past, and move onto something new that makes your soul lit up and alive.
