At 6:00 We Go Live
Hit the Lights Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This might be the last time you hear my voice
Is this goodbye? or is it goodnight?
I promise to call if you promise not to cry
Because every tear you waste on me
Isn't worth the air i breath
Let's make the best of what we've had
And would you care if i don't come back?
Can you hear me scream your name?
Hear me from a thousand miles away?
Can you hear my scream your name?
So let's get this show out on the road
Who cares if we don't know where to go
Well this is goodbye, give me a kiss goodnight
I promise to call if you promise me you'll cry
Let's make the best of what we've had
I promise you i won't come back
Can you hear me scream your name?
Hear me from a thousand miles away?
Can you hear my scream your name?
I'm leaving town tonight
And i want to hear something from you
Anything from you
The song "At 6:00 We Go Live" is a poignant love letter to someone close to the singer. It speaks to the struggles of leaving someone behind and the apprehension that comes with it. The opening lyrics set the stage for a farewell conversation between two people who are unsure of what the future holds for their relationship. The request to "hold me close but don't get too comfortable" suggests that the singer is afraid of getting too attached to their loved one and doesn't want to make their departure any harder.
The next lines, "This might be the last time you hear my voice / Is this goodbye? or is it goodnight?" are a heartbreaking acknowledgement that this could very well be the end of their time together. There's a sense of uncertainty in the air as they question whether or not they'll see each other again. The singer then promises to call the other person if they promise not to cry, recognizing that the pain of separation is hard on both parties. However, the final lines of the first verse are the most gut-wrenching: "Because every tear you waste on me / Isn't worth the air I breathe." These words make it clear that the singer realizes the intensity of their loved one's feelings for them, but they feel guilty for putting them through this pain.
The second verse of the song switches gears, with the singer urging their partner to join them in making the most of their relationship until the bitter end. They also question if their absence will be noticed, whether or not they'll be missed. The chorus then returns, with the singer asking their loved one if they can hear their screams from a thousand miles away. It's a cry for connection and a plea for reassurance that their bond is strong enough to withstand the distance. Finally, the song ends with the singer leaving town and asking to hear something – anything – from the person they're leaving behind. It's a poignant and emotional conclusion to a song that perfectly captures the uncertainty and angst that often comes with separation.
