51
Unraveling the Extraterrestrial Enigma in '51'
Lyrics
You can't sleep for nights in a row
You're experiencing insomnia for several consecutive nights.
Gone twenty minutes before you know
Something significant has disappeared or elapsed without your awareness for about twenty minutes.
Grab an alien before you go
Before leaving, take something unusual or unfamiliar with you (metaphorically represented as an alien).
Keep it under our hats, unknown
Keep this peculiar or secret matter undisclosed.
Welcome creatures from outer space
Welcoming beings or circumstances that are foreign or unconventional.
With hospitality in place
Receiving these unusual occurrences with kindness or openness.
This alien has no face
The unfamiliar or unconventional situation lacks clear characteristics.
Disappearing without a trace
The unfamiliar situation vanishes completely without leaving any evidence.
How long will they grow
Uncertainty about the duration of these unconventional circumstances or experiences.
I don't even know
Feeling uncertain about understanding or predicting the duration or growth of these circumstances.
Can we make it outside
Questioning if one can reach the external or desired outcome before a particular event concludes.
For the end of the show
Reference to reaching a conclusion or a particular stage by the end of a specific event or situation.
What does the number say at the end of the road
Questioning the significance of a particular number or indicator at the end of a journey or situation.
Does it say 51 or do I have to?
Questioning if a specific number, possibly '51', holds importance or requires understanding.
Know one that knows more than we know
No one possesses more knowledge than what is currently known.
Emergency trip to PETCO
Urgent or sudden need to visit a pet supply store.
One night becomes nights ago
One night has passed, indicating the passage of time.
Now you're spending your nights alone
Presently spending nights in isolation or solitude.
How long will they grow
Uncertainty about the duration of unconventional circumstances or experiences, similar to earlier lines.
I don't even know
Still uncertain about understanding or predicting the duration or growth of these circumstances.
Can we make it outside
