Night Guard
Night's Silent Guardian: A Tale of Shadows and Routine
Lyrics
It's the light that just won't fix,
Refers to a persistent issue or problem symbolized by "the light."
It's been that way since sixty six,
Suggests that the issue has been present since 1966, indicating a long-standing problem.
He starts his shift at eight,
Describes the Night Guard starting his work shift at 8 PM.
And he goes all night way past late,
Implies that the Night Guard works diligently all night, extending well past regular working hours.
Here comes the Night Guard,
Introduces the Night Guard as a central figure.
and he's working his way down town
Highlights the Night Guard's movement through the town during his shift.
In the shade of the morning light,
Describes the Night Guard working during the early morning hours, in the shade of the morning light.
He takes his time and gets it right,
Emphasizes the Night Guard's meticulous approach, taking time to ensure everything is correct.
Checking the locks on the doors,
Details the Night Guard's routine of checking locks on doors, a repetitive task.
Like the thousand times he's done before.
Indicates that this is a routine he has performed countless times.
Here comes the Night Guard,
Reiterates the Night Guard's presence and ongoing work in the town.
and he's working his way down town.
Repeats the Night Guard's movement through the town during his shift.
Working his way down town,
Reiterates the Night Guard's continuous progression through the town.
Sunshine another day,
Introduces the idea of another day beginning with sunshine, signaling a new cycle.
He says goodbye and makes his way,
Depicts the Night Guard bidding farewell as he completes his shift.
He sleeps through the afternoon,
Describes the Night Guard sleeping during the afternoon, preparing for another night shift.
And do it again, all too soon,
Suggests a repetitive cycle as he repeats the process too soon.
Here comes the Night Guard,
Reiterates the Night Guard's presence and ongoing work in the town.
and he's working his way down town.
Repeats the Night Guard's movement through the town during his shift.
Here comes the Night Guard,
Reiterates the Night Guard's presence and ongoing work in the town.
and he's working his way down town.
Repeats the Night Guard's movement through the town during his shift.
