Lyrics
It's late
Expressing awareness of the late hour
I don't need you to remind me
Declining the need for a reminder
I tend to sleep just when I see the light outside
Preference for sleeping when it's light outside
Brightening the room, reflecting on my window
Describing the room brightening and its reflection on the window
I see the blackness of the sky
Observing the darkness of the night sky
And my thoughts begin to fly
Indicating a shift in thoughts, possibly becoming introspective
No, I can't close my eyes
Expressing difficulty in closing eyes
Well, that would be a waste of time
Rejecting the idea of closing eyes as a waste of time
And time can be so precious nowadays
Recognizing the value of time in the present era
It seems to be all the same
Perceiving time as monotonous or indistinguishable
A cigarette and a coffee for my brain to stay awake
Describing a coping mechanism involving cigarettes and coffee
Cause since you've been gone
Acknowledging the absence of someone since their departure
Since you betray my trust
Highlighting a betrayal of trust by the departed person
All my nights have been for writing all this songs
Channeling emotions into writing songs during nights
Write about the things you never taught me how to deal
Expressing a need to address untaught life lessons
When I was growing up
Reflecting on the unfairness of life experiences
Just doesn't seem fair
Linking the inability to close eyes with emotional unrest
For you, my eyes can't shut
Desiring rest for eyes despite emotional turmoil
When they're supposed to be at rest
Emphasizing the lateness of the hour
But I know it's late
Acknowledging the constant lateness of the night
I know it's always late
Introducing the theme of late-night songs
Late night songs
Describing the emotional roughness of late-night songs
Feel's so rough but
Asserting that late-night songs are meant to be rough
They're supposed to
Highlighting the healing nature of late-night songs
Heal my soul
Dedicating the current song to someone specific
Tonight this one's for you
Expressing a hope for the recipient to understand the song
I hope that you'll get it soon
Recognizing the need to be alone at this point
And I guess it's time, to be on my own
Anticipating the arrival of the sun
And 'till I see the sun
Promising another late-night song until sunrise
I give you my late night song
Reiterating the theme of late-night songs
Late night songs
Describing the emotional roughness of late-night songs (repeated)
Feel's so rough but
Asserting that late-night songs are meant to be rough (repeated)
They're supposed to
Highlighting the hope-giving aspect of late-night songs
Give me hope
Repeating the desire for hope from late-night songs
Give me hope tonight
Expressing a wish for hope on this particular night
And for whatever is worth
Reflecting on the value of the upcoming performance
At least I'll get one more for the show
Confirming the commitment to provide one more song for the audience
