Lights Out in London
Midnight Escape: Unraveling the Depths of 'Lights Out in London' Meaning
Lyrics
Paint black, sunset, I left marks on this town so you won't forget
Expressing the act of leaving a lasting impression on the town before departure.
Gypsy, vagabond, baby you're coming down but I haven't yet
Describing someone as a transient figure descending while the narrator has not left yet.
Old shoes, old news, take a picture of the filth that I got to lose
Taking a photo of undesirable aspects or experiences that need to be discarded.
Cracked teeth, blitzkrieg, and I'm stuck underneath, say goodbye, c'est la vie
Experiencing difficulties and feeling trapped, bidding farewell with a casual "c'est la vie."
I'll be gone, when the lights go out in London
Anticipating departure when the city lights go out, leaving no trace.
Carry on, by the morning you'll forget
Encouraging to move forward, assuring that the memories will fade by morning.
All the wasted time I left behind a broken memory
Reflecting on wasted time and broken memories left in the past.
Yeah it all went wrong so when the lights go out in London I'll be gone
Acknowledging a series of mistakes and expressing the decision to leave.
Salt lick, get your kicks, I'll kick the bucket before a walk back through this shit
Rejecting the idea of revisiting difficult experiences and choosing a drastic alternative.
Black lung, black hole, motherfucker shut your mouth before I lose control
Reacting strongly to negativity, demanding silence to avoid losing control.
Hip shake, heartbreak, I'm sick of sleeping in the dirt with the fucking dregs
Expressing weariness of a challenging lifestyle and the company of undesirable individuals.
Seeing red, I hit my head, tell the devil that I'm dead, won't you tell him what I said
Indicating intense frustration, possibly with self-destructive tendencies, and defiance towards a negative force.
I'll be gone, when the lights go out in London
Reiterating the theme of departure when the city lights fade away.
Carry on, by the morning you'll forget
Encouraging resilience and assurance that the memories will fade away by morning.
All the wasted time I left behind a broken memory
Reflecting on the regrettable past and its impact on memories.
Yeah it all went wrong so when the lights go out in London I'll be gone
Confirming the decision to leave due to a series of wrong turns.
'Cause I got this feeling
Expressing a sense of uncertainty or disillusionment.
Nothing to believe in
Conveying a lack of belief or trust in something.
I'm just crashing down
Describing a sudden and uncontrolled descent or decline.
And it's two in the morning
Referring to a specific moment in time, emphasizing the abruptness of the situation.
You don't get no warning
Stating the absence of a warning or preparation for the impending departure.
Ha, I'm leaving now
Confirming the decision to leave at that very moment.
I'll be gone, when the lights go out in London
Repeating the anticipation of departure when the city lights fade.
Carry on, by the morning you'll forget
Encouraging to move forward, assuring that the memories will fade by morning.
All the wasted time I left behind a broken memory

Yeah it all went wrong so when the lights go out in London I'll be gone
