Monte Carlo
Monte Carlo Nights: Love, Loss, and Neon Lights
Lyrics
Did you fall out of love?
Asking if a loss of love occurred
When dark turned to morning?
Wondering if this happened during a transition from darkness to morning
Did you make all the good boys go bad?
Questioning if the person caused good individuals to behave badly
Well, I must have lost all my marbles
Expressing a feeling of having lost control or composure
On that black woollen peckers
Referring to a location or situation where something significant happened
Yeah, tonight girl I miss you so bad
Expressing strong feelings of missing someone intensely
Oh darling, sweet darling
Term of endearment, addressing the beloved person
Did you hear me a-calling
Asking if the person heard the speaker calling for them
Last night when my heart was on fire?
Describing emotional turmoil when the heart was deeply affected
Instead you faded like a picture
Comparing the person's disappearance to a fading picture
In that two-tone Monte Carlo
Referencing a specific car model as part of a memory
When you drove it out into the night
Relating a moment when the car was driven into the night
So blue, we'll dance till the morning
Describing the emotional state as melancholic, yet dancing till morning
Till we fall down or they
Continuing to dance until exhaustion or until the lights are turned off
Shut down the lights oh darling, I love you
Expressing love intensely despite difficulties or disappearance
Like the rednecks love to fight
Comparing the intensity of love to the passion of rednecks in fights
Like the cowboy loves Saturday night
Drawing a comparison between love and the enjoyment of Saturday nights for cowboys
Well, they sing all night long
Depicting the atmosphere of singing all night in venues
In the dance halls and bars
Continuing the description of lively nightlife in dance halls and bars
Till the big ol' sun starts to shine
Reference to the passing of nighttime into daytime
Well they're drown in their memories
Describing people being overwhelmed by their past experiences
And the pain of the moment
Highlighting the emotional pain felt in the current moment
Till they slowing go out of their mind
People gradually losing their sanity due to reminiscing
Here I am again, on the dark side again
Expressing a feeling of being in a negative situation again
Oh girl, wont you please come home soon?
Requesting the person to come back home
Well, I'm high as a kite
Feeling euphoric or elated
And your call in my mind
Recalling the person's influence or presence in thoughts
And calling in the Mexican moon
Referencing the atmosphere of the night and longing for the person
So blue, we'll dance till the morning
Reiteration of dancing through melancholy
Till we fall down or they
Continuing to dance until exhaustion or lights go off
Shut down the lights oh darling, I love you
Reaffirming intense love despite difficulties or disappearance
Like the rednecks love to fight
Comparing the intensity of love to the passion of rednecks in fights
Like the cowboy loves Saturday night
Comparing love to the enjoyment of Saturday nights for cowboys
Oh, the cowboys love Saturday night
