Marry the Night Lyrics

I'm gonna marry the night
I won't give up on my life
I'm a warrior queen
Live passionately tonight

I'm gonna marry the dark
Gonna make love to the stark
I'm a soldier to my own emptiness
I am a winner

I'm gonna marry the night
I'm gonna marry the night
I'm gonna marry the night

[Chorus]
I'm gonna marry the night
I'm not gonna cry anymore
I'm gonna marry the night
Leave nothing on these streets to explore
M-m-m-marry m-m-m-marry m-m-m-marry the night
Oh m-m-marry m-m-m-marry m-m-m-marry the night

I'm gonna lace up my boots
Throw on some leather and cruise
Down the street that I love
In my fishnet gloves
I'm a sinner

Then I'll go down to the bar
But I won't cry anymore
I hold my whiskey up high
Kiss the bartender twice
I'm a loser

I'm gonna marry the night
I'm gonna marry the night

[Chorus]

Nothing's too cruel
To take me from you
New York is not just a tan
That you'll never loose

Love is the new
Denim or black
Skeleton guns
Or wedding bells in the attic

Get Ginger ready
Climb the El Camino front
Won't poke holes in the seats with my heels
'Cause that's where we make love

Come on and run
Turn the car on and run

I'm gonna marry the night
I'm gonna burn a hole in the road
I'm gonna marry the night
Leave nothin' on these streets to explode
M-m-m-marry m-m-m-marry m-m-m-marry the night
Oh m-m-marry m-m-m-marry m-m-m-marry the night

Oh m-m-marry m-m-m-marry m-m-m-marry the night
I'm gonna marry, marry
I'm gonna marry, marry
Come on, come on

The night, the night, the night
The night, the night, the night
The night, the night, the night
The night, the night, the night
The night, the night

Cover art for Marry the Night lyrics by Lady GaGa

It's about marrying yourself to your loneliness, aka the night. "I'm a soldier to my own emptiness." It's about exploring every dark corner of your soul that might be scared to venture, "leave nothing on these streets to explore." And it's about accepting those dark places in yourself that you might initially want to reject, "But I won't cry anymore / I hold my whiskey up high / kiss the bartender twice / I'm a loser."

So, in this sense, it's about marrying yourself to your creativity, never letting go of that thing that inspires you no matter what, "turn the car on and run."

This is my meaning and interpretation.

My Interpretation

To me, this song is about seizing the moment, forgetting your worries and problems, having a good time and not caring about what people say :)

My Interpretation
Cover art for Marry the Night lyrics by Lady GaGa

The video, at least, is about her struggle with being dropped from labels early on. The opening sequence in the hospital is a reference to, one of her idols, Frida Kahlo, who was in an accident and, after recovering, became an artist.

Song Meaning

It's about grown ups who are going through mid life crisis running wild and free like they are ignorant teenagers....trying to capture something that only makes them look foolish and eventually leaves them fully alone while the rest of the world has left them behind. Gaga always knows how to capture a mood !

I didn't know that, I learned something new today. :P

I like how empowering this song is. It has the whole "I've been kicked, beat down, abused, but somehow I'm going to make my life so much better."

I also get a strong sense of looking to an ugly past, and not regretting it.

We can grieve over our past, but we must not let it blot out the future.

:D

Perfect album opener. Just jumps right in with her voice, building up into that chorus that SLAMS into you. But why before Born This Way? I feel that this has some vulnerability, building right into the absolute confidence of BTW. It works. Will probably be a single. I wish the verses were a little better. But it's an awesome chorus and the NI-I-I-IGHT conclusion rocks :P

hundredskies, did you fall asleep at the keyboard? Not even close! You really need to update your "attempt" at these lyrics...

Lyric Correction

Much better! Thanks, hundredskies, for the update. Saw LG on TV last night saying this song is an ode to New York nightlife. Awesome song! One of the best on the album I think.

This song is so fun and empowering.

Cover art for Marry the Night lyrics by Lady GaGa

IN this song, "marry the night" means she's going to go out and party and escape into the nightlife in order to to forget about all her problems. It's a fun dance anthem to use when your down and jus wanna party your troubles away:)
