Never in all of my life
Have I seen eyes as empty as these streets of my city
On a Saturday night,
All the green of your eyes says "Go, leave it all behind."

But I don't need to be reminded a change is gonna come.
I can feel it on the tip of your tongue.

And I feel alive.

We met up once we'd settled the sun
Between the heat and the work week
The fear is we could use some sleep
But sleep to the superfluous man means better use for beds
And I'll bet I'm coming home alone tonight.

I don't need to be reminded that this is how it was.
I moved on, I passed a billboard down my block
That asks if I've had enough, and aloud I say "I've had too much,"
When the truth is, I'm just getting started.

Now all the barlights are blinking in time
To Mexican music, it's taunting the pavement
And I feel alive.

One of us sings, and one of us drinks,
And one of us has nothing at all.
So he calls us all sheep
I'm the Little Bo Peep of the bunch.
(I take their tales and I'm ready to go)
The he swears he's gotta take this call
Man, I get scared he's gonna leave us too soon.

We were the get rich quick kids,
We never got it right
So we settled for the center of town
Where all the rich white kids is out looking for a fight
Got the blond one staring me down.
And I really wanna take a swing
I can't help but remember James Dean
See we are part of the few who agree
That hey, he lived life fast
But he died.
He died.
He died.

Me, I'm gonna live forever.

Now all the barlights are blinking in time
To Mexican music, it's taunting the pavement
And for the first time
In a long time
I feel alive

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Barlights by fun. are a poetic portrayal of the urban landscape on a Saturday night, where people are struggling to find meaning in their lives. The first verse sets the scene by comparing the emptiness of the city streets to the vacuity of a person's eyes. The singer feels the urge to leave it all behind and start afresh, but at the same time, they are aware that change is inevitable. The prospect of change brings a sense of excitement for the singer, who feels alive and anticipates the future with hope.

In the second verse, the singer meets up with a group of friends after a long day at work. They are all tired and could use some sleep, but they don't want to waste their time sleeping, as they feel there is so much to explore and experience. The singer is worried they will end up alone, but they are determined to live life to the fullest.

The chorus brings the bar scene to life, with the flashing barlights and the sound of Mexican music taunting the pavement. The singer feels alive and free, even though they are surrounded by people who are searching for meaning in their lives, just like them.

Overall, the song has a sense of optimism and freedom, where the singer embraces change and lives life to the fullest, even if it means risking everything.

Line by Line Meaning

Never in all of my life Have I seen eyes as empty as these streets of my city
The streets are deserted and void of any emotion or life

On a Saturday night, All the green of your eyes says "Go, leave it all behind."
The person's eyes are urging the singer to abandon the emptiness around them

But I don't need to be reminded a change is gonna come. I can feel it on the tip of your tongue.
The singer is already aware of the impeding change and can sense it everywhere

And I feel alive.
The artist feels energized and rejuvenated from this realization

We met up once we'd settled the sun Between the heat and the work week The fear is we could use some sleep But sleep to the superfluous man means better use for beds And I'll bet I'm coming home alone tonight.
After a long day at work, rest is necessary but the artist would rather engage in activities that are fulfilling, even if it means that they may end up alone

I don't need to be reminded that this is how it was. I moved on, I passed a billboard down my block That asks if I've had enough, and aloud I say "I've had too much," When the truth is, I'm just getting started.
The singer has outgrown their past and is eager to experience more, despite being surrounded by reminders of their past

Now all the barlights are blinking in time To Mexican music, it's taunting the pavement And I feel alive.
The bustling setting of the bar, combined with the lively music, brings the singer a sense of vitality

One of us sings, and one of us drinks, And one of us has nothing at all. So he calls us all sheep I'm the Little Bo Peep of the bunch. (I take their tales and I'm ready to go) The he swears he's gotta take this call Man, I get scared he's gonna leave us too soon.
The group dynamic of the people at the bar is shared, but one of them refuses to conform and potentially abandon them

We were the get rich quick kids, We never got it right So we settled for the center of town Where all the rich white kids is out looking for a fight Got the blond one staring me down. And I really wanna take a swing I can't help but remember James Dean See we are part of the few who agree That hey, he lived life fast But he died. He died. He died.
The group of friends are struggling to find a sense of belonging, resulting in them settling for mediocrity, which leads them to envy those who seemingly have it all

Me, I'm gonna live forever.
The artist is determined to pursue a life of fulfillment and meaning, beyond what is expected of them

Now all the barlights are blinking in time To Mexican music, it's taunting the pavement And for the first time In a long time I feel alive
The energetic atmosphere of the bar brings the singer an overwhelming sense of vitality and rejuvenation

Barlights
Fun.

Never in all of my life
Have I seen eyes as empty as these streets of my city
On a Saturday night
All the green of your eyes says "Go, leave it all behind."
But I don't need to be reminded
A change is gonna come
I can feel it on the tip of your tongue
And I feel alive, feel alive
We met up once, we'd settled the sun
Between the heat and the work week
The fear is we could use some sleep
But sleep to the superfluous man means better use for beds
And I'll bet I'm coming home alone tonight
I don't need to be reminded that this is how it was
I moved on, I passed a billboard down my block
That asks if I've had enough, and aloud I say "I've had too much, "
When the truth is, I'm just getting started
Now all the barlights are blinking in time
To Mexican music, it's taunting the pavement
And I feel alive, I feel alive
I feel alive
One of us sings and one of us drinks
And one of us has nothing at all
So he calls us all sheep
I'm the Little Bo Peep of the bunch
(I take their tales and I'm ready to go)
The he swears he's gotta take this call
Man, I get scared he's gonna leave us too soon

Where all the rich white kids is out looking for a fight
Got the blonde one staring me down
And I really wanna take a swing
I can't help but remember James Dean
See we are part of the few who agree
That hey, he lived life fast
But he died
He died, he died
Me, I'm gonna live forever.
[(Feel alive, feel alive,
Think I'm gonna live forever
[(Feel alive, feel alive,
You know I'm gonna live forever
[(Feel alive, feel alive, feel alive)(Feel alive, feel alive, feel alive)(Feel alive
Feel alive, feel alive)(Feel alive, feel alive,
Now all the barlights are blinking in time
To Mexican music, it's taunting the pavement
And for the first time in a long time
I feel alive
Now all the barlights are blinking in time
To Mexican music, it's taunting the pavement
And for the first time in a long time
I feel alive

This album will live on forever as one of 2009's best. Some Nights was good (except for "we are young" being played too much) but this album blows it out of the water. If you didn't know who or what fun. was in 2009 or 2010, maybe even 2011, you were missing out.

I love Fun. So much.. I love Nate Ruess' voice.. IDK how to describe why I like them so much.. I guess cause they aren't like the music now. Their music has feeling.. and so much more than the junk they have today. The only way I can describe Fun. is they sound like an old band.. Idk. And I feel like I never heard Nate's voice the way it sounds before.. I just love hearing Fun. These songs are the songs you can listen to over and over again and not get tired of it.. Or that's how I am.

Arkidie

3y↑2

it's been 8 years and Fun. doesn't make music anymore, but I was wondering if you consider the music in the last few years to be better than back when you posted this comment. I certainly do, and agree with this comment considering the time it was posted. But if you still use YouTube still I would like to know if you like modern music or not.

shuhnelkuh

@Arkidie can't really compare cause even now fun is still a good band.

Depending on what you're considering modern music too.

Arkidie

@shuhnelkuh wow! You replied, I wasn’t really expecting that.
I was thinking stuff that was released like 2018 to now as modern music.

Of course Fun.’s music still sounds amazing, but it’s been years since any new songs were released. Which is kind of what I meant.

shuhnelkuh

@Arkidie haha of course! Still on the good ol 'tube for years!
And still love it.
I guess I just can compare my music taste from back then to now. Cause it is everywhere. I love ninties, eighties, 2000s, overall pop, indie pop, alternative rock, rock, little bit of everything lol

Just knowing those two songs, as most people do, is very different to getting to know them because of those songs. I'd never heard of them before Some Nights, but got both albums for christmas and now consider them my favourite band. I agree with the first post, their hit songs don't nearly show what they can do or how brilliant they are.

Never in all of my life
Have I seen eyes as empty as these streets of my city
On a Saturday night,
All the green of your eyes says "Go, leave it all behind."

But I don't need to be reminded a change is gonna come.
I can feel it on the tip of your tongue.

And I feel alive.

We met up once we'd settled the sun
Between the heat and the work week
The fear is we could use some sleep
But sleep to the superfluous man means better use for beds
And I'll bet I'm coming home alone tonight.

I don't need to be reminded that this is how it was.
I moved on, I passed a billboard down my block
That asks if I've had enough, and aloud I say "I've had too much, "
When the truth is, I'm just getting started.

Now all the barlights are blinking in time
To Mexican music, it's taunting the pavement
And I feel alive.

One of us sings, and one of us drinks,
And one of us has nothing at all.
So he calls us all sheep
I'm the Little Bo Peep of the bunch.
(I take their tales and I'm ready to go)
The he swears he's gotta take this call
Man, I get scared he's gonna leave us too soon.

We were the get rich quick kids,
We never got it right
So we settled for the center of town
Where all the rich white kids is out looking for a fight
Got the blond one staring me down.
And I really wanna take a swing
I can't help but remember James Dean
See we are part of the few who agree
That hey, he lived life fast
But he died.
He died.
He died.

Me, I'm gonna live forever.

Now all the barlights are blinking in time
To Mexican music, it's taunting the pavement
And for the first time
In a long time
I feel alive

@starkidpollard Honestly, just enjoy the music. Who cares about who they sound LIKE or don't sound like. They sound LIKE they're really good, and that should be good enough for everyone. (With as much respect as possible)
