Lyrics
There's something on the rise
There is a growing or emerging situation.
You've heard this all before
It's a familiar situation that has been heard or experienced previously.
There's something on the rise to forgive and forget
There's an emerging need to pardon and move past something.
Night Talker takes the stage and tells me not to
A person who engages in night conversations advises against toning down emotions or actions.
Tone it down,
To restrain oneself.
Not to understate the way
Not to downplay or minimize how things are.
I know just how to put you off
The speaker understands how to distance or discourage someone.
Maybe I take more than I should
Perhaps taking more than what is appropriate or fair.
Night talkin's blown some steam
Night discussions have relieved tension.
You're up against your lover's walls
Facing challenges within a romantic relationship.
Wasn't it a sweeter deal looking forward
Wasn't life better when anticipating things in darkness?
With the lights turned off?
Having lost the joy of being the center of attention.
But I misplaced the pleasure to become the party
The desire for enjoyment shifted into self-fulfillment.
You've got to entertain yourself
One must find their own entertainment.
When something's on the rise
When a situation or emotion is building up.
Cause how am I to live with that?
How can the speaker cope with that?
There's something on the rise to forgive and forget
There's a need to pardon and move past something.
Maybe I take more than I should
Similar to line 8, acknowledging possibly taking more than one should.
Couldn't always get my way but I knew just how to feel put out
Not always getting what one wants but understanding feeling disregarded.
By blind mistake
Feeling excluded due to an unintentional error.
The pressure to become the party will have to entertain itself
The obligation to be the life of the party shifts to self-entertainment.
There's something on the rise
A recurrence or emphasis on the emerging situation.
And how am I to live with that?
A repetition of the question about coping with the growing situation.
There's something on the rise to forgive and forget
A reiteration of the need to pardon and move past something.
