The meaning of the lyrics of the song "One Lone Night" by the artist "White Buffalo, The"

The song "One Lone Night" by The White Buffalo portrays the deep loneliness and despair experienced by the lyrical hero. He is in a state of uncertainty and cannot find a way out of the situation.

The hero is torn between the desire to escape from reality ("drink until morning," "buy a ticket on a midnight flight") and the need to understand himself ("stop to collect his thoughts"). He even contemplates suicide ("end it all with this knife"), which speaks to the depth of his despair.

Despite the gravity of the situation, the hero still has a glimmer of hope for a return to his beloved ("But I have to try to get back to you"). However, he realizes that it may be too late, and this thought brings him even more pain.

The recurring phrase "And it'll be another lonely night" emphasizes the hopelessness and cyclical nature of his suffering. He is stuck in this state and sees no way out.

The image of "wings for which the weight is now too much" symbolizes the hero's inability to move on, his burden is too heavy to bear.

The song ends with the question "Should I?", leaving the listener in suspense and pondering the choice the hero has to make.

I'm dreaming wide awake

Sleep walking, shake the dust out

Got to give this heart a break,

I can't seem to slow the beats down

There ain't no going home

Just a silence and a wave goodbye

I don't really know about nothin'

Just know that I'm wasting time now

And it'll be one lone night

Should I keep drinking 'til the morning light?

Should I settle down just to get my head right?

Or should I drive...

And it'll be one lone night

Should I buy a ticket for a midnight flight?

Or should I end it all on this here knife?

Oh, should I?

Well, there's no light in lose hope

I got to get back to you somehow

Tongue-twisted, sick joke

Yet there's no way of figuring out

Maybe it's much too late

Time to slow things down

Well, there's torture in the wings

And the weight is too heavy now

Well, it'll be one lone night

Should I keep drinking 'til the morning light?

Should I settle down just to get my head right?

Should I drive...

And it'll be one lone night

Should I buy a ticket for a midnight flight?

Should I end it all on this here knife?

Or should I -

Should I try now?

Try now...

She says, try now...

She says, try now...

Try now.

Well, it'll be one lone night

Should I keep drinking 'til the morning light?

Should I settle down just to get my head right?

Should I drive?

And it'll be one lone night

Should I buy a ticket for a midnight flight?

Should I end it all on this here knife?

Should I?
