Trains in the Night
Yonderboi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Trains in the night
by Yonderboi is a song about the escapism that films offer from the harsh realities of life. The lyrics suggest that within films, there is more harmony than in the real world, where life is often chaotic, painful and unpredictable. The imagery of trains in the night represents the continuous motion and escape that individuals seek in watching films. The idea is that films keep going on, just like the trains that travel across the night, providing listeners with a sense of consistency and predictability that is often lacking in life.
The second half of the lyrics shifts the focus to the people who make the films, suggesting that they are the happiest when they are involved in their work. The line "People like you, like me are only happy in our work - making films," suggests that for filmmakers, their work allows them to find a sense of fulfilment that they cannot find elsewhere. The song seems to be both an observation on the nature of cinema and a celebration of the artistic process that goes into creating films.
Line by Line Meaning
Trains in the night
Just like the continuous movement of trains in the night, films keep moving forward without any disruption or pauses.
There is more harmony in films than in life
Films are made with precision and accuracy, unlike life where things can be unpredictable and chaotic. Thus, there is more harmony in films than in life.
No traffic jams, no death periods
Films do not suffer from any hindrances or slow-downs that we experience in daily life, such as traffic jams or periods of stagnation and boredom.
Films keep goin' on, you know, like trains in the night
Just like trains in the night keep moving forward, so do films, never stopping or slowing down until their final destination (i.e. the end of the film).
People like you, like me are only happy in our work - making films...
While life may not always bring happiness, those who work on films, such as the artist and the listener, find fulfillment and enjoyment in their craft.

this music is barely mainstream music. you can't expect the whole nation to give it recognition. same happens for many artists in my country.

HUNGARY Talent nem csak egy DJ attól sokkal több.... sokan nem is ismerik pedig egy modern zeneszerrző is egyben.
