Glitter Connection
Chasing Glitter Dreams: The Midnight Devils' Tale of Addiction and Rebellion
Lyrics
And she knows that all the boys in the band are headed way up north tonight
Reference to the boys in the band traveling north for a gig tonight.
To a little diver bar on the Iowa state line
Describes the venue, a small dive bar on the Iowa state line.
And she's workin' hard all week just to cover the rent
The girl works hard during the week to pay her rent.
Dreamin' of that crossfire song and dance
She daydreams about the excitement of a crossfire song and dance.
She's addicted to all the chaos until they turn on the lights
Expresses her addiction to chaos until the lights come on.
Always wonderin' how we got this high
Reflects on the wonder of reaching a high point and questions how it happened.
And as the sun comes up and she says goodnight
The morning comes, and she bids farewell as the last stars fade.
The last few stars fade out into the sky
Depicts the fading stars in the sky as she says goodnight.
She's looking for that glitter connection
She seeks a connection characterized by glitter, symbolizing excitement or glamor.
A real straight hook up to take all the edge off
Desires a genuine and intense experience to alleviate stress.
It aint about the money, no
Clarifies that the desire is not driven by money.
And it aint about the fame
Emphasizes that fame is not the motivation either.
When there's all that glitter runnin' through your veins
Highlights the allure of glitter running through one's veins, suggesting a thrilling sensation.
Johnny was a good friend of mine or so I thought
Introduces Johnny as a presumed good friend facing difficulties.
Got caught up but couldn't get off
Johnny got entangled but couldn't break free.
We were out to set the world on fire until he split
They aimed to make a significant impact, but Johnny left abruptly.
Went out for a smoke but never came back
Johnny went for a smoke but disappeared, possibly succumbing to challenges.
We're sitting here once again broke down on the side of the road
They are stranded again on the road, facing a breakdown.
That same feeling of losing control
Repeats the feeling of losing control in a familiar situation.
And she smiles back at me as the smoke rolls up her lips
She smiles amid challenges, with smoke curling from her lips.
She's chasing that first time feeling again
She seeks to relive the initial excitement and thrill.
