Every Night

Montell Fish's song 'Every Night' delves into the internal conflict between hedonistic desires and moral consciousness. The repetitive mention of 'The drugs, the sex, the lights' highlights the allure of a lifestyle filled with indulgence and excess. This hedonistic pursuit is something the narrator craves 'like every night,' suggesting a relentless and almost addictive attraction to these pleasures. However, the repeated acknowledgment of knowing 'it's wrong' juxtaposes this desire with a sense of guilt and moral awareness, creating a tension that runs throughout the song.

In the second verse, the narrator expresses a deep sense of shame and self-awareness. The lines 'I'm so ashamed of what I've become' and 'I know I can't run' indicate a recognition of the consequences of their actions and a feeling of being trapped in this cycle of indulgence. The phrase 'I'm done fakin'' suggests a desire to break free from this facade and confront the reality of their situation. This moment of introspection adds a layer of vulnerability to the song, revealing the emotional toll of living a double life.

The cyclical structure of the lyrics, with the chorus repeating multiple times, mirrors the repetitive nature of the narrator's struggle. The constant return to 'The drugs, the sex, the lights' underscores the difficulty of escaping this lifestyle, despite the awareness of its moral implications. Montell Fish uses this repetition to emphasize the persistent and consuming nature of these desires, making 'Every Night' a poignant exploration of the battle between temptation and conscience.
