The Nights of Wine and Roses
Nights of Revelry: Embracing Life's Echoes
Lyrics
Long lit up tonight and still drinking
Describing the night as long, illuminated, and still engaging in drinking.
Don't we have anything to live for?
Raising a question about the purpose or meaning of life.
Well of course we do
Acknowledging that there are things to live for.
But till they come true
Expressing hope for dreams to come true, but until then, indulging in drinking.
We're drinking
Reiterating the act of drinking in the absence of realized dreams.
And we're still smoking
Mentioning the continuation of smoking along with drinking.
Don't we have anything to live for?
Questioning the purpose of life again despite having reasons to live.
Well of course we do
Reaffirming that there are things to live for.
But till they come true
Expressing the anticipation of dreams coming true eventually.
We're smoking
Emphasizing the continuation of smoking until dreams are realized.
We all want to know what nobody knows
Expressing a collective desire for knowledge that is unknown to everyone.
What the nights of wine and roses hold
Wondering about the secrets held by the nights characterized by wine and roses.
For the wine and roses of our souls
Symbolizing the beautiful and fleeting aspects of life with "wine and roses of our souls."
So we down our drinks in a funnel of friends
Describing a communal act of consuming drinks among friends.
And we burn our blends right down to the end
Indicating the complete utilization or consumption of something valuable.
We don't cry for those nights to arrive
Expressing a lack of sorrow or anticipation for those special nights to come.
We yell like hell to the heavens, oh
Yelling passionately to the heavens in celebration or defiance.
Oh, oh, oh
Repeating a vocal expression ("Oh") for emphasis or emotional resonance.
Oh, oh, oh
-Oh, oh, oh, oh
-Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
-We all want to know what nobody knows
Repeating the desire for knowledge about the mysterious nights of wine and roses.
What the nights of wine and roses hold
-For the wine and roses of our souls
-So we down our drinks in a funnel of friends
-And we burn our blends right down to the end
-We don't cry for those nights to arrive
-We yell like hell to the heavens, hey
Expressing excitement, possibly in defiance, by yelling to the heavens.
