Soul Kitchen
Embracing the Night: Soulful Reflections in David Lee Roth's 'Soul Kitchen'
Lyrics
Well, the clock says it's time to close now
Indicates the closing time as per the clock.
I guess I'd better go now
Expresses the need to leave at the specified time.
I'd really like to stay here all night
Expresses a desire to stay longer.
The cars crawl past all stuffed with eyes
Observation of cars passing by, possibly with curious onlookers.
Street lights share their hollow glow
Describes the street lights' dim and eerie illumination.
Your brain seems bruised with numb surprise
Suggests a state of mental numbness or shock.
Still one place to go
Emphasizes the existence of one more place to visit or experience.
Still one place to go
-Let me sleep all night in your soul kitchen
Expresses a desire to find comfort and solace in the soul kitchen, seeking warmth and mental nourishment.
Warm my mind near your gentle stove
-Turn me out and I'll wander baby
Expresses a willingness to be cast out or rejected.
Stumblin' in the neon groves
Describes stumbling in a vibrant and chaotic environment, possibly the city nightlife.
Well, your fingers weave quick minarets
Depicts intricate and rapid movements, possibly referring to emotional or intellectual interactions.
Speak in secret alphabets
-I light another cigarette
Describes lighting another cigarette, possibly as a coping mechanism or distraction.
Learn to forget, learn to forget
Repeats the importance of learning to forget, suggesting a desire to move on from past experiences.
Learn to forget, learn to forget
-Let me sleep all night in your soul kitchen
Reiterates the desire to find solace and warmth in the soul kitchen.
Warm my mind near your gentle stove
-Turn me out and I'll wander baby
Expresses a willingness to wander or explore, even if cast out.
Stumblin' in the neon groves
Describes stumbling in an environment illuminated by neon lights.
Well, the clock says it's time to close now
Repeats the notion of closing time and the necessity to leave.
I know I have to go now
Acknowledges the inevitability of departure.
I really want to stay here
Expresses a strong desire to stay for the entire night.
All night, all night, all night
