Lyrics

I remember when you told me that you had it all nailed down

You once claimed to have everything figured out

I remember when you told me that you had it all sewn up

You once asserted that everything was well-arranged

You said you`d go all night long

You promised endurance through the night

All night long

Reinforcement of the claim for enduring the night

All night long

Reiteration of the commitment to last through the night

You said you`d go all night long

Reassertion of lasting through the night

You let yourself down

You failed yourself

Let yourself down

Reiteration of the self-failure

You let yourself down again

You disappointed yourself once more


You let yourself down

You disappointed yourself

Let yourself down

Reiteration of self-disappointment

Let yourself down

Continued emphasis on self-failure

Let yourself down

-

Let yourself down

-

Let yourself down

-

Hang like hang man, junk like junk yard

Comparing your state to a hangman and a junkyard, indicating a sense of decay or degradation

Live off girlfriend, say how life`s hard

Dependence on a partner while expressing hardship in life


All night long

Repeated commitment to enduring through the night

All night long

-

You said you`d go all night long

-

Let yourself down

Continued disappointment in oneself

You let yourself down again

-

You let yourself down

Reiteration of self-failure

Let yourself down

-

Let yourself down

-

Let yourself down

-

Let yourself down

-

Let yourself down

-

You used to date porno, now you just rent

Transition from past actions to present behavior, possibly indicating a decline

Do you really wonder where the good times went?

Ruminating on the past and wondering about the disappearance of good times

Everyone around you saying you`re the man

Observation of others praising you

Now you`re standing in the mirror saying I`m the man

Now reflecting in the mirror and claiming that same praise for yourself


All night long

Repeated commitment to enduring through the night

All night long

-

You said you`d go all night long

-

Let yourself down

Continued disappointment in oneself

Let yourself down

-

You let yourself down again

-

You let yourself down

Repeated emphasis on self-disappointment

Let yourself down

-

Let yourself down

-

Let yourself down

-

Let yourself down

-

Let yourself down
