Academy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just Yet.
Hold on my phone
I think I was next.
No you so skeptic
said reasons to test
but expected, accepted, get back to us next.
Hold on to records,
you miserable challenge,
you still let out passing to
I'm passing out too
passing the boom
ask and you choose
borrowed opinions
dismissed as my bitch
and comes in and I fuck it.
I'm reaching for you
promise not for the clothes.
Yes, I know that you noticed
my midnight hypnosis.
Getting so late.
why don't we wait.
4am, almost
that time your awake?
Tomorrow I trust
Just don't fuck with us!
The song "4Am" by Academy is a melancholic tune that is shrouded in mystery, leaving the listener to interpret its meaning. The opening lines of "Don't go home, Don't go home, Don't go home, Just Yet" sets a somber mood, seemingly urging someone not to leave just yet. The next line, "Hold on my phone, I think I was next," suggests someone waiting for a call or message that they are anticipating.
The following lines, "No you so skeptic, said reasons to test but expected, accepted, get back to us next" seem to indicate a conversation with someone who is skeptical and requiring proof or testing. The song then takes on a more cryptic tone with lines such as "Hold on to records, it's there for the balance, you miserable challenge, you still let out passing to" which could refer to holding on to tangible proof or evidence of something but that evidence is not enough to shift one's perception.
The line "I'm reaching for you promise not for the clothes" may suggest that the singer wants someone for more than just physical attraction or superficial reasons. The chorus "Getting so late, why don't we wait, 4am almost that time your awake?" seems to be questioning why leave when they could wait until 4am when the person would usually be awake anyways. The final line "Tomorrow I trust, Just don't fuck with us!" might suggest that there is a stronger bond between the singer and the person they are addressing, and they are hoping for a continued trust and loyalty.
