"The song is about being violently assaulted and it made me crazy for a few years. I got really paranoid walking around at night and started feeling really unsafe. The song is more about empowering myself physically amongst a masculine power, and the hate of feeling powerless, making light of masculine physical power, making it jovial and non-threatening.

This song is about a violent encounter with a male and her fear of men after, her fear of being alone but the need to be for protection. Im thankful for her music especially this album helped me get through something similar. I think she stated this album was her least favorite. I disagree because this album saved my life and helped me in so many ways a few years ago, i listened everyday after i moved to a new town and felt so alone and vulnerable, and her music matched the energy i needed to feel in synch with the world, it helped me feel safe doing ordinary things without the anxiety of pasts pain. She is a gift and i hope she never forgets when she made this art and her heart in this time. Thank you grimes for existing, you helped so many without knowing, i wish i could say thank you in person. Stay safe and strong

[@Vimarilla]

she stated in an interview that she was assaulted, and this song was kind of her way of coping with the situation. She said she spent years paranoid and frightened, and finally opted to make a song that kind of subverts her assault -- it kind of fingers the line of sounding like SHE'S the one stalking someone at night and also being stalked. The first half of the song is very narrative -- walking around at night, musing about how she can just walk up to the man and snap his neck. Sort of a reversal of power. But then, she talks about how -she- fearfully walks, staring straight ahead, fighting the urge to glance behind her, etc. However, this is still sung in sort of an ambiguous way, like she's commenting on the man she follows glancing at her, and she's staring straight ahead, focused on him. Finally, the "See you on a dark night" is pretty literal but still ambiguous, both the statement of the stalker and the stalked -- they know they'll see each other on a dark night. It's both helpless and powerful, to fit both roles. The second half is when it seems to turn to self-reflection and her fear of men. She mentions her aloneness and how it's hard to have a relationship with a man again, she can't find someone to hold her hand. But, she doesn't enjoy her fear, and she really just wants someone to give her the kick she needs to grow out of it; to look into her eyes and tell her everything is okay ("la la la la la~")

Yes and also it's like her statement "see you on a dark night" is directed to the men around her, the one's playing with her, the one's dancing with her, the one's she walks by, any of these men could be predators, she shows that it's not random evil people who commit assault but brothers, dads, people who's relatives would defend them and call them fun loving.

[@Tattlebot]

According to stats, depending where she is, there's a 9/10 probability it was a Hispanic or Bravo Mike. FtM transgenders have been shocked at how threatening men can be toward one another. It's a dimension not seen by women, and statistically violent assault on men is more common than strangers sexually assaulting women.

[@adrianax1734]

I've only now realized how interesting this music video is with the songs context. Knowing she was assaulted and that this song is about feeling unsafe at night, afraid of being attacked (presumably by a man) this music video feel like confronting masculinity (as almost all of the strangers shown are men of different ages and all the shows/activities are generally considered masculine). It feels like a video of trying to almost shock therapy yourself by surrounding yourself with what scares you (like men in general after one attacks you) and learning to be comfortable in that space, both interacting with them and just as someone who happens to be existing in that same space. Edit: I have been receiving comments on this regularly for the last 3 years. They entertain me to no end. And they also make me sad. To fellow victims: you are not alone. I hope you find peace from what has happened. To the trollz: keep trolling. They make me laugh. To the hurt men defending themselves or calling me a feminist (like that's a bad thing?) or that I'm saying all men bad or whatever: 1. I never said masculinity is a bad thing. I dont believe that. It is just as important as femininity. 2. I hope that someday you realize that you truly have no idea what it's like to be a woman. That you never will. That you see women being stay at home moms (which isnt easy but youll probably never be a sahd so how would you ever know) or famous streamers or only fans girls raking in money and you think we are privileged. That feminism has given us more power than men and that our lives are easier now than yours. There is nothing further from the truth. And as long as we suffer, we will speak on it. If you don't like it, close the page or help us. Art can be interpreted in any which way you like. It can mean multiple things at once. This is a fun song to dance to so i don't blame people for not wanting to assign a dark meaning. Don't! For many this is just a dance song. But don't hate on those of us that identify with a darker meaning :). Neither of us are wrong

Do not suffer silently even for 1more nano-second living in shame or fear etc. please don’t give the sicko the pleasure… Ya know cause it’s What they Do it for, the selfish & disturbing want to ruin other lives to make their own sick life seem at least “a little better than…” don’t let them win this is Chess not checkers, ya know? The Game of Life? It will benefit you greatly to take back power & then some learns new trade or hobby, look at the future as you heal you naturally will feel a new exciting reason to shine at whatever you do that’s makes you special. Smile daily & remember You have always deserved to be genuinely happy, it’s so easy to get lost in our own complex brains when trauma creates a PTSD or disorder, complex whatever they call it, you know it’s not you & laugh it off & be you true joyful spirit as Intended. Naturally.💅. Sorry I have been venting I hope I have at least given some encouraging words or advice this is why I majored in, but only recently truly witnessed first-hand & see the unfortunate effects first hand & have to now learn to live in a new healing lifestyle to erase all the malice that was laid out on many areas of my life I did t deserved either.

I take the song and video as Grimes reclaiming her experience. She turns her paranoia from previous experiences with men into empowerment. Rather than seeing masculinity as something to be afraid of, she attends all these “manly” events and champions it. She overcomes a traumatizing event by putting herself within an environment that portrays masculinity in a more silly, rather than fearsome way. It’s inspiring.

It's also more broadly about how you fit into normal mainstream society when your tastes are eclectic and you're a weirdo more or less. Sometimes you can feel like a surreal ghost, which is what's portrayed in this video with her "strange" song at the most mainstream of events: a football game.

I could do a whole hour long think piece on this music video. The emotion in it is visceral. It's awkward and comfortable at the same time. She doesn't fit in, but in most of these scenes she's fitting in just fine. Interacting with people around her that sometimes don't even realize they're in a music video. It's a relatable feeling- the "not fitting in but IS somehow" and I've never seen it be depicted so perfectly imo. I wonder if anyone else thinks of their highschool experience when they see this video. The mix of the scenes with her and real people just casually dancing at a sporting event and then the shots of the posed kinda artistic locker room scenes where she's standing amongst these Adonises lifting weights is also interesting. The song/lyrics itself is also very relatable and worthy of a comment but I don't want to get into THAT on this one.. I might reply to this with my analysis. Lol... If you actually read this far into my babbling I appreciate you, and hope you have an amazing day, week, month, year and life :) Loves ya!

It’s so interesting how different people interpret songs and instrumentals, like to me the erraticness feels tense and sort of uncomfortable which is one of the reasons I love this song so much, I think it puts a sound to how i feel being a woman and just existing on a dark night/ in male dominated area

Arguably the best song she ever made. Is not overproduced , is honest, simple, from another time and another life.

[@georgeemery3295]

And it's timeless

[@obsidiancrow450]

sucks she won't go back. i feel like her more stripped back tracks are the best. IDK maybe she's got another banger album in her maybe not

First time ever hearing her music I didn’t even know who she was until like 5min ago. But I feel like everyone has this weird sense of nostalgia watching and listening to this song because you can barely understand what she’s saying and the music is just so weirdly general but unique?

[@ruslansigizbaev]

I always get that feeling of nostalgia every time I listen to these kind of songs , moreover the video made the feeling and picture of it much greater

[@powerslave7876]

The first time I listened this song, it reminded me to Cindy Lauper

[@saraaref8474]

Its feels like deja vu even tho i never listened to it

[@hazekickzstorm1965]

It’s not the first time you have heard the song a lot of people feel nostalgic because it’s been in films

[@kimanderson6312]

The video and music both have 80’s vibes, but it has a unique sounding back beat made up of familiar, computer-made noises.
