Drinks and a Dress
Lost Nights in City Lights
Lyrics
So lost and pretty
Expressing a sense of being both disoriented and attractive.
She was drinks and a dress
Describing a woman as a combination of alcohol and fashionable attire.
Backlit by the city
Highlighted by the urban lights in the background.
She was cigarettes
Characterizing her with the association of smoking.
cnd when she took her hand in mine like an hour from the beach
Describing a moment when she held hands, creating a peculiar atmosphere.
The sky looked kind of funny
Observing an unusual appearance of the sky during the mentioned moment.
There were no people on the streets
Noting the absence of people in the streets during the described scene.
I guess we're stumbling around in a hurricane
Reflecting on a feeling of being aimless or confused in a tumultuous situation.
So tell a lie
Encouraging or requesting the act of telling a falsehood.
Won't you tell a lie?
Reiterating the request to tell a lie.
Got all the time to waste in the world
Suggesting a surplus of time available for wasteful activities.
Tell a lie
Repeating the request to tell a falsehood.
Won't you tell another lie?
Encouraging the telling of another lie.
Got all the time to waste in the world
Reemphasizing the abundance of time for non-productive pursuits.
Some people they blow around like a hurricane
Comparing some people to a hurricane, suggesting chaos and unpredictability.
They're all flashing smiles and pouring rain
Depicting those people as having a flashy exterior and emotional intensity.
Break up those I-10 miles with a straight-line shot from the passing lange
Describing a journey along I-10 with a deviation from the usual route.
Oh throwing bottles in the sea
Throwing bottles into the sea, possibly symbolizing discarding emotions or messages.
Some real patchwork scenery
Referring to a diverse and eclectic view created by various elements.
Oh empty bottles, your cares, my believe
Empty bottles symbolizing worries, and belief, possibly in oneself or others.
They're all floating in the sea
Signifying the discarded emotions and concerns now floating away.
Some people the blow around like a hurricane
Repeating the comparison of certain people to a hurricane.
They're all pouring eyes and crashing waves
Describing the intense emotions and actions of those people.
cnd on that bathroom stall, she offered it all and signed her name
Referring to a moment in a bathroom where someone offered everything and left a mark.
So lost and pretty
Reiterating the initial description of someone as lost and attractive.
She was drinks and a dress
Recalling the combination of alcohol and fashion in the woman's presence.
Backlit by the city
Repeating the description of being backlit by the city.
She was cigarettes
Reiterating the association of the woman with cigarettes.
