Lyrics
Well the sun came up and a new day dawned
Despite the sunrise and a new day starting,
Didn't make a bit of difference to me.
It didn't affect or change anything for the speaker.
With the curtains drawn in the candlelight
The speaker was in a room with closed curtains,
I was up all night
Being awake all through the night.
Feelin' alright.
Feeling fine or satisfactory during this time.
(Up all night, feelin' alright)
Reiterating staying up all night and feeling alright.
Cos the world goes round if its dark or light
Indicating that the world continues its course, regardless of light or darkness,
It don't really matter.
Implying that external circumstances don't significantly matter.
But the clocks wind down
Suggesting the passage of time through clocks winding down,
Anytime is right
Emphasizing that any time can be suitable or appropriate.
Waking up all night
Continuing to stay awake throughout the night,
Feelin' alright.
Feeling fine or satisfactory during this prolonged wakefulness.
(Up all night, feelin' alright)
Reiteration of staying up all night and feeling alright.
And its been confirmed if you stay up late
Confirming that staying awake until late makes the early hours seem to arrive sooner.
It starts getting early.
Expressing the perception that time passes differently when staying up late.
But it takes as long as it does to write a song
Comparing the duration of staying up late to the time needed to write a song,
And you dance all night
Implies dancing and enjoying oneself throughout the night.
Its alright.
Reinforcing that staying up all night is acceptable or permissible.
(Up all night) You'll be up all night.
Reiteration that staying up all night is inevitable in certain situations.
I didn't need to be up all night
Expressing that the speaker didn't necessarily want to stay up all night,
With the curtains drawn
Reiterating being in a room with drawn curtains,
In the candlelight
Emphasizing the setting of being illuminated by candlelight,
And the moonlight
Additionally illuminated by moonlight.
Feelin' alright!
Feeling fine or satisfactory despite being up all night.
I was up all night
Reiteration of being awake throughout the night.
(Up all night)
Emphasizing being up all night.
I was up all night
Further emphasizing being awake all night.
Feelin' alright
Feeling fine or satisfactory despite prolonged wakefulness.
(Up all night)
Reiteration of staying up all night.
(Up all night)
-(Up all night)
-(Up all night)
-(Up all night)
Continued emphasis on staying up all night.
