Lyrics
Waiting for the break of dawn to come on
Anticipating the arrival of the morning
All that time animals become withdrawn
During this time, creatures withdraw or become reserved
Disbelief in where I'm led by what my head just said
Questioning the direction based on thoughts just expressed
Must be a part of me that wants me dead
Suggesting an internal conflict or self-destructive inclination
But it's contagious
Characterizing a quality that spreads easily
When you're courageous
Highlighting the contagious nature of courage
Just like when you have your pull it goes viral
Similar to influence, when one exerts control, it spreads rapidly
Knowing just when to listen is the key to survival
Emphasizing the importance of knowing when to listen for survival
The night is young
The present time or moment is full of potential
The night is young
Reiterating the potential of the current moment
Don't worry 'bout what may come
Encouragement to not fret over future events
The night is young
Similar to line 11, emphasizing the current moment's significance
And we've only just begun
Implying the commencement of something significant
Refuse to wear a mask a stone I'll make a tone of my own
Choosing to be authentic despite societal expectations
You know just how I feel as I walk into the unknown
Feeling familiar with the unknown or uncertain
But it's contagious
Emphasizing the infectious quality of courage
When you're courageous
Reiterating the contagious nature of courage
Just like when people will borrow your sorrow
Comparison to how others adopt and share one's pain
The only way to live is like there's no tomorrow
Encouragement to live fully without concern for the future
Never know what'll get you
Unpredictability of circumstances that affect one
I never worry about things that I can't see
Opting not to worry about unseen or uncertain things
Never know what'll set you
Unforeseen occurrences that bring liberation
Free
Suggesting freedom from unforeseen events
Better wait and see
Advising patience to see outcomes
The night is young
Reiteration of the potential and significance of the current time
The night is young
Restating the vitality of the present moment
Don't worry 'bout what may come
Encouraging absence of concern for the future
The night is young
Similar to line 30, emphasizing the importance of the current moment
And we've only just begun
Highlighting the commencement of something significant (repeated from line 14)
Don't let them forget you
Advice to maintain one's presence and impact
Don't let them forget you
Reiteration of not being forgotten or overlooked
There are lies in routine
Recognition that routine can contain falsehoods or deception
Don't let them forget you
Reiterating the importance of not being forgotten or neglected
And leave you stuck in between
Being trapped between situations when forgotten
