Story Behind The Song
I always wanted to write a more 'philosophical' love song and Nietzsche provided the perfect pun for the chorus!
Song Description
This guy is going through what many discover, that in order to feel a really deep love and longing for someone, that pain, envy and jealousy are never very far away....some would say are a necessary part of the experience (as would Nietzsche)

Lyrics
NIETZCHE TONIGHT
Never thought I'd need to feel despair
Fear of losing you makes this so rare
Oh I can't contain the growing ache inside
As rivals drink you in my envy won't subside
Long lost rage reveals its hidden claws
To any guy without or with good cause
Oh I always thought that love would bring me peace
But now I realise the anguish just won't cease
Need your love, need its pain
Need the madness to feel sane
Nietzsche tonight, Nietzsche tonight
Those who think that comfort is their goal
Need to know it just won't make them whole
'Cause when they dig deep, I know they're sure to find
That passion, love and pain in truth are all entwined
Need your love, need its pain
Need the madness to feel sane
Nietzsche tonight, Nietzsche tonight
