Lyrics

From the hot strobe lights and the spiked punch bliss

Describing the atmosphere of a party with intense lights and potent punch.

And the long walks home in the dark we'll miss

Reflecting on the nostalgia of walking home in the dark after a party.

Nobody teaches you how to reminisce

Highlighting the lack of guidance on how to recall past experiences.

Nobody teaches you to hurt like this

Expressing the absence of instruction on dealing with emotional pain.


Then we slide into the arms of someone else

Describing a shift to seeking comfort in the arms of another person.

Yeah, we slide into the arms of someone else

Reiterating the theme of finding solace in the embrace of someone else.


No more coked up, broke, nocturnal kids

Moving away from a lifestyle involving drugs and late nights.

Was that ever even us? Do we know what we missed?

Raising questions about self-awareness and understanding what was missed.

Nobody teaches you how to win big

Pointing out the absence of guidance on how to handle success.

Nobody said there's no reverse on this

Suggesting a lack of warnings about irreversible actions.


Then we slide into the arms of someone else

Continuing the narrative of seeking comfort in the arms of another person.

Yeah, we slide into the arms of someone else

Repeating the theme of finding solace in the embrace of someone else.

In disguise, we get a little better at controlling ourselves around midnight

Describing an improvement in self-control during the midnight hours.

Then we slide into the arms of someone else

Reiterating the pattern of seeking comfort in the arms of another person.


Nobody wants to, nobody wants to

Expressing a universal reluctance to wake up alone.

Nobody wants to, nobody wants to

Repeating the sentiment that nobody desires to be alone.

Nobody wants to wake up alone

Highlighting the fear or aversion to waking up without companionship.


Then we slide into the arms of someone else

Continuing the theme of seeking comfort in the arms of another person.

Then we slide into the arms of someone else

Reiterating the pattern of finding solace in the embrace of someone else.

In disguise, we get a little better at controlling ourselves around midnight

Emphasizing the struggle to control oneself, particularly around midnight.

But then we slide into the arms of some, someone else

Highlighting the recurring pattern of seeking comfort in another person despite efforts to control oneself.


The weight of the world is love

Introducing a philosophical perspective on the weight of love in life.

Under the burden of solitude, under the burden of dissatisfaction the weight

Describing the burden of solitude and dissatisfaction under the weight of love.

The weight we carry is love

Affirming that the weight carried in life is, ultimately, the weight of love.

And so must rest in the arms of love at last, must rest in the arms of love

Concluding that, in the end, one must find rest and solace in the arms of love.
