Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ooh, I wrote your constellation into the sky
S-s-suns at night
We're out late, at 4 AM
He says, "how's the weather, baby?
How you've been?"
You're gonna get sick, you don't know when
They never doubt it at 4 AM
We're out late at 4 AM
He says, "how's the weather, baby?
How you've been?"
You're gonna get sick, you don't know when
They never doubt it at 4 AM
4 AM, 4 AM, falling down again
Unraveling
Ooh, Aphrodite
I wrote your constellation into the sky, ooh
S-s-suns at night
We're out late, at 4 AM
He says, "how's the weather, baby?
How you've been?"
You're gonna get sick, you don't know when
They never doubt it at 4 AM
We're out late at 4 AM
He says, "how's the weather, baby?
How you've been?"
You're gonna get sick, you don't know when
They never doubt it at 4 AM

Grimes’s song "4ÆM" is about a night out with a lover at 4 AM, where they talk about mundane things like the weather, but the presence of sickness and danger lingers in the back of their minds. The lines "You’re gonna get sick, you don't know when, they never doubt it at 4 AM" suggest an air of paranoia and vulnerability at this hour. The chorus repeats the phrase "4 AM, 4 AM, falling down again" which can be interpreted in a few different ways. It could indicate physical exhaustion from staying up late, emotional exhaustion from the fear that comes with the late-night hour, or simply the feeling of being lost or overwhelmed.
The repeated phrase, "Ooh Aphrodite, I wrote your constellation into the sky" implies a sense of cosmic love or worship for the goddess of love, beauty, and sexuality. The line "S-s-suns at night" could be interpreted in a few different ways. It could be a reference to how love and passion can light up the night sky, or it could be a playful nod to the science fiction universe Grimes often draws inspiration from. Overall, the song captures the feeling of a sleepless night with somebody you care about, balancing the intimacy of the moment with the discomfort of being awake in the wee hours of the morning.

People joking about this being played in a club in distant future. Why isn't it played in the clubs now? I want hear this in a club
@themango9644

@SimplifyTelevision
fr. I'd go fucking wild if this came on in a bar or at a show.
@Meemitalo_
@@ryry5997 yeah that's not what I meant smartass 😛
@Meemitalo_
@@ryry5997 "what else could that possibly mean", he said victoriously. "Ever heard of the phrasal nature of the English language?", the other guy pointed out.
What it could possibly mean is the present day in general. You know, during the last couple of years? Grimes' music in fact DID exist before the pandemic and I've never heard it in a club. You got that?
@seblarfarlock9785
I first heard this song in a hot topic months ago
@shaesmith9862
When Grimes said: αΣάἀἈψᾹᾌᾈᾌέἣ⨺⨠ᾹᾂᾂἜὲέἰἾὙὨϑϑΣααΔ
