Manchester
Nocturnal Revelations: Unraveling the Depths of 'Manchester' by Low Groves
Lyrics
The night I think is over
The night feels like it's ending.
We lasted longer than the rest
We endured longer than others in a challenging situation.
The most unhappy hour
This moment seems to be the most unhappy or difficult.
Can't be as good as it gets
The worst situation imaginable may not be as bad as it seems.
We hate it when the lights go on
We dislike when the lights turn on, signaling the end of an event.
But every time we'll play the same damn song
Despite disliking it, we'll still perform or engage in the same routine.
My eyes have lied to me before
I've been deceived by what I've seen before.
And in the morning you'll be balled up on the floor
The morning will reveal you in distress on the floor.
Your eyes will lie the same as mine
Your eyes will deceive just like mine.
And I'll be only what you might see some times
I'll only be what you occasionally perceive.
I'm here tonight just like the last
I'm here tonight, similar to the previous night.
Won't get the night but we can get the money back
We might not achieve what we want tonight, but we can recoup financially.
We're facing less than what's behind
We're confronting less than what's hidden or unknown.
Don't want to waste what we might have left in a line
We don't want to squander what little time or opportunities we have.
I swore I'd never let her
I promised myself I wouldn't allow this.
Yet we're alone together
Despite that promise, we're together but feeling lonely.
Under the moon I'd ask about
Under the moon, I'd inquire about the only bright thing in this dark place.
The only thing bright in this town
The only bright or positive aspect in this town.
Avoided smoke with all the joes
Avoided engaging with certain individuals, but still end up smelling of smoke.
Still going home with smoke-filled clothes
Despite avoiding it, I end up going home smelling like smoke.
Tip-toe around the mines of men
We cautiously navigate through the dangers posed by people.
Tomorrow they'll be here again
Tomorrow, those dangers will reappear.
I'm here tonight just like the last
I'm here tonight, resembling previous occasions.
Won't get the night but we can get the money back
We might not achieve what we desire tonight, but we can recover financially.
We're facing less than what's behind
We're facing what's visible, not what's unknown.
Don't want to waste what we might have left in a line
We don't want to waste the little time or opportunities we have left.
