Midnight Snack: A Tale of Fleeting Affections
Lyrics
Sixty-five south
Referring to a location, possibly a highway heading south.
Seventy-four miles from my house
Distance from the speaker's house, emphasizing physical separation.
You only call me at four on a Friday
Communication occurs specifically at 4 PM on Fridays.
Don't show up until one to make it seem like things are going my way
The caller arrives late (1 AM) to create an illusion of positive circumstances.
And you get drunk and say you like me
The caller expresses affection when intoxicated.
But in the morning you ask me what time I've got to go
Morning after, the caller's interest seems to fade.
Sleepy sweet unplugged when the shades are drawn
Intimacy and vulnerability when alone and disconnected from the world.
But in the morning i'm all alone
Despite the intimacy, the speaker feels loneliness in the morning.
But you you said it's not time for that
The caller dismisses commitment, implying casual interaction.
We don't have time for that
Emphasizing lack of time for deeper connection or commitment.
I'm just here to make you laugh
The speaker's role is to bring joy and laughter.
Here to be your midnight snack
Symbolic representation as a casual and accessible companion.
Here to slow down panic attacks
Offering emotional support to alleviate anxiety.
Here to get you off track
Intention to divert the caller from their current path.
Here
Reiteration of the speaker's presence and availability.
Here
-Sixty-five north
Referring to a different direction, possibly another highway heading north.
Starting your east coast tour
Starting a journey on the east coast, possibly indicating a tour.
You only call me up when you reached New York State
Contact only when reaching New York State, suggesting selective communication.
Don't bother calling you got here way too late
Speaker didn't attempt contact, recognizing a delay or missed opportunity.
And you drove drunk with me in the back seat
Dangerous behavior, driving under the influence with the speaker in the car.
But I was too scared to tell you to slow down
Fear prevents the speaker from addressing the risky situation.
Sleepy sweet unplugged when the shades are drawn
Similar theme of intimacy and vulnerability in a private setting.
But in the morning i'm not around
The morning after, the speaker is absent, possibly avoiding confrontation.
But we both know it's not time for that
Repeat of the dismissal of commitment and deeper connection.
We don't have time for that
Emphasizing the constrained time for a meaningful relationship.
I'm just here to make you laugh
Reiteration of the speaker's role in bringing joy and laughter.
Here to be your midnight snack
Symbolic representation as a late-night comfort.
Here to slow down your panic attacks
Offering emotional support to alleviate panic attacks.
Here to get you off track
Expressing the intent to divert the caller from anxiety-inducing situations.
Here
Repetition emphasizing the constant availability and presence.
Here
-Here
Final affirmation of the speaker's role and readiness.
