Field Day
Reckless Nights: Unveiling the Hidden Stories in 'Field Day'
Lyrics
Let’s start the violence that we never knew
Initiating a desire for conflict that was previously absent
under the quiet haze of gasoline fumes
Amidst a calm atmosphere tainted by the smell of gasoline
We never thought about where we’ll go
Never contemplating the destination of their actions
We’ll get lost and never find our way home
Getting lost intentionally, unable to find the way home
Let’s start the violence and the fires and the moods
Provoking violence, fires, and changing emotions
chasing the dogs down through the avenues
Pursuing dogs through the streets
We’ll burn the evidence and disappear
Destroying evidence and vanishing
cover our tracks, and don’t look back until we’re through.
Covering tracks, avoiding reflection until the act is complete
We don’t need a reason and We don’t need the truth
No need for justification or truth
If in the daylight we were born then in the night we grew
Daylight symbolizing innocence, contrasted with nighttime maturity
Now I’ve seen what we’ve been missing and know what we need to do
Awareness of what was missing and recognition of necessary actions
just try to still hold on and hope that someday we’ll get through
Holding on amidst difficulties, hoping for eventual resolution
We took each other for gods and for fools
Viewing each other as both gods and fools
We lived below the lights the highways and rules
Living beneath the influence of lights, highways, and societal rules
Took the throne for a minute or two,
Briefly claiming a position of power
Stayed in love with the stars and the moon
Remaining enamored with celestial bodies
We don’t need a reason and we don’t need the truth
Reiterating a disregard for reason and truth
If in the daylight we were born then in the night we grew
Daylight representing birth, nighttime representing growth
Now I’ve seen what we’ve been missing and know what we need to do
Acknowledging what has been lacking and determining necessary actions
just try to carry on and hope that someday we’ll get through
Continuing despite challenges, hopeful for eventual success
Hide your eyes, don’t look down.
Advising to avoid facing reality
Just believe our lies and wear the crown.
Encouraging belief in deceit and assuming authority
Because we don’t need a reason and we don’t need the truth
Emphasizing the absence of the need for reason or truth
If in the daylight we were born then in the night we grew
Reiterating the symbolic cycle of birth and growth
Now I’ve seen what we’ve been missing and know what we need to do
Recognizing deficiencies and determining necessary actions
just try to still hold on and hope that someday we’ll get through
Persevering through challenges, optimistic for eventual success
We don’t need a reason and we don’t need the truth
Reiterating the disregard for reason and truth
We pick apart the bones and then we hide them in our shoes
Dissecting challenges and concealing the evidence
We were not the type to think twice and we’re not the type to lose
Defiant individuals not prone to second thoughts or defeat
We’ll glue it back together knowing that we’ll die someday soon
Acknowledging mortality, yet attempting to mend what's broken
