Lyrics
Well I tried my best to lay still awhile
Expressing an attempt to remain still for a period of time.
But the streets outside they were running wild
Observing the chaotic and lively activity on the streets outside.
All the drunken boys fought for favour
Describing intoxicated young men competing for the attention of sophisticated women.
Of the pretty girls who knew better
Highlighting the awareness of some women who possess better judgment in this context.
I went all the night without love
Emphasizing a period of time spent without experiencing love.
I went all the night without love
Repetition for emphasis on the prolonged absence of love.
Another sleepless night in the city
Describing another night of insomnia in the urban environment, accompanied by negative emotions.
Laying wide awake feeling shitty
Expressing the unpleasant feeling of being wide awake and in a low mood.
With the curtains drawn and pulled tight
Depicting a scene with closed curtains and a somber atmosphere beneath the glow of a streetlight.
Neath the orange glow of the street light
Describing the setting in the city, possibly with a melancholic ambiance.
I went all the night without love
Reiteration of the extended period spent without experiencing love.
I went all the night without love
Emphasizing the continuity of the night without love.
If I can keep my head 'til the morning
Expressing a determination to endure challenges until the morning.
Keep the black dog fed 'til day is dawning
Using metaphorical language, suggesting the need to manage and confront emotional struggles.
There's a voice in me sometimes whispers
Referring to an internal voice that sometimes advises to allow things to be calm for a while.
Let it all be just be still a while
Encouraging a moment of stillness and acceptance.
I went all the night without love
Reiteration of the experience of going through the entire night without love.
I went all the night without love
Emphasizing the continuation of the night without love.
