Lyrics

I remember when you told me that you had it all nailed down

The person recalls when the subject claimed to have everything figured out.

I remember when you told me that you had it all sewn up

The subject asserted having everything well-established in the past.

You said you`d go all night long

The subject claimed the ability to endure throughout the night.

All night long

Repetition of the claim to endure all night long.

All night long

-

You said you`d go all night long

-

You let yourself down

The realization that the subject has failed or disappointed themselves.

Let yourself down

-

You let yourself down again

-

You let yourself down

Continued acknowledgment of the subject's self-disappointment.

Let yourself down

-

Let yourself down

-

Let yourself down

-

Let yourself down

-

Let yourself down

-

Hang like hang man, junk like junk yard

Metaphorical description comparing the subject's state to a hanging man and a junkyard.

Live off girlfriend, say how life`s hard

Describing a difficult life relying on a girlfriend.


All night long

Reiteration of the earlier claim to endure all night.

All night long

-

You said you`d go all night long

-

Let yourself down

Reiteration of the subject's self-failure.

You let yourself down again

-

You let yourself down

Continued acknowledgment of the subject's self-disappointment.

Let yourself down

Let yourself down

Let yourself down

You used to date porno, now you just rent

Reference to the subject's past involvement with explicit material, now reduced to renting.

Do you really wonder where the good times went?

Rhetorical question about the subject's contemplation of lost good times.

Everyone around you saying you`re the man

People used to praise the subject, but now self-reflection is less positive.

Now you`re standing in the mirror saying I`m the man

The subject confronts their reflection, claiming to be 'the man.'


All night long

Reiteration of the earlier claim to endure all night.

All night long

You said you`d go all night long
