End of the Night
Night's Enigma: Unraveling Jetplane Landing's Sonic Odyssey
Lyrics
They're throwing people on the backs of trucks
People are forcibly transported on trucks.
Then they drive them to the edge of town
They are taken to the outskirts of town.
Where they make them dye their hair jet black
Forced to dye their hair jet black.
And they push them in a club of sound
Pushed into a club with intense music.
Where they play the un-american charts
Where un-American music charts are played.
There's no chance of going home alone
No chance of leaving the club alone.
You're as likely as a headache
Expresses the difficulty of leaving alone, comparing it to a headache.
And everybody knows
General awareness that the person has undressed before.
You've taken off your clothes once before
Reference to a previous instance of undressing.
Still you think that you're a nightingale
Despite challenges, the person sees themselves as a nightingale (symbolic of a singer).
Cos you wanna sing the songs of night
Desire to sing night songs.
But the strings that you're connected to
The connections they have are confining like a car crash.
Have got you trapped in this car crash tight
Feeling trapped by the relationships they're in.
When you're cruising home an hour from now
After leaving the club, feeling impaired.
All the DJs have all gone to bed
DJs have left; the night is winding down.
You're as smashed up as a heartache
Feeling emotionally damaged like a heartache.
It's obvious to me
An observation that is clear to the speaker.
You've taken off your clothes once before
Reference to a previous instance of undressing.
Got another bad connection
Experiencing difficulties or problems in thought.
Growing in my mind
A negative idea growing in the speaker's mind.
Got a nervous feeling
A sense of anxiety or unease.
That I might be right this time
Feeling that a realization might be correct this time.
It's just a touch of light
A subtle illumination at the end of the night.
That's at the end of the night
Symbolic light representing hope or insight.
Splitting into fractions
Breaking into smaller parts or factions.
Take solace from the heavens
Finding comfort in celestial bodies.
We are smaller than the night
Feeling insignificant compared to the vastness of the night.
Details, captured in a photograph
Details frozen in a photograph, observed by NASA.
Looked upon by NASA
Searching for something new in the vastness.
Trying to find a brand new moon
Desire for exploration or discovery.
And everybody feels
General awareness that everyone feels anticipation.
Anticipation grows
Anticipation growing, especially as the week ends.
As week ends
Observation of heightened emotions towards the weekend.
Got another bad connection
Experiencing difficulties or problems in thought.
Growing in my mind
A negative idea growing in the speaker's mind (repeated).
Got a nervous feeling
A sense of anxiety or unease (repeated).
That I might be right this time
Feeling that a realization might be correct this time (repeated).
It's just a touch of light
A subtle illumination at the end of the night (repeated).
It's just a touch of light
Reiteration of the subtle illumination at the end of the night.
That's at the end of the night
Final confirmation of the symbolic light at the
