Morning
Alex Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All the nights we talked through
We would never fight
Walking through the alleys
Till the morning light
Every conversation
Watching passing cars
Man what I would give just to see my friends anymore
Time's been moving
Way too fast
And passing days got me questioning my path
I can make up anything
But days fly by and life don’t stop and I’m still waiting on everything
And I’d be lying if I said I figured out
If my plans are sorted out anyways
And I’d be lying If I said I knew about
What the art I makes about anyways
All the nights we talked through
We would never fight
Walking through the alleys
Till the morning light
Every conversation
Watching passing cars
Man what I would give just to see my friends anymore
Slower nights back in Tokyo
Still smell the yakitori smoke
Evoking old emotions I ain’t thought about in a long while
City always empty never hostile
Heavens here on earth, just like I’m Carlisle
Adventures illuminated by moonlight
Afternoons after school with the old group
Typhoons always turning back to sunny weather
Gyoza sauce with the soy vinegar and pepper
Hard for me to get back in that headspace
For every memory, there's a mistake
Guess its perspective on what I became
Longways from the chuhai walks and subways
After a while, you still can’t help but smile
All the mistakes are part of running the trials
Like a rock in the river, edges started to smooth
I don’t miss who I was, but I still miss the food
All the nights we talked through
We would never fight
Walking through the alleys
Till the morning light
Every conversation
Watching passing cars
Man what I would give just to see my friends anymore
All the nights we talked through
We would never fight
Walking through the alleys
Till the morning light
Every conversation
Watching passing cars
Man what I would give just to see my friends anymore
Man what I would give (Anymore)
Man what I would give (Anymore)




Man what I would give
To see my friends anymore

Overall Meaning

In Alex's song "Morning," the lyrics reflect on the nostalgia and longing for the past, particularly the moments spent with friends.

These memories are treasured, as the songwriter expresses a strong desire to see their friends once again.

The second verse takes us back to Tokyo, where slower nights were filled with the aroma of yakitori smoke. It evokes old emotions that haven't been thought about in a long while. The city is portrayed as empty but not hostile, and the songwriter feels a sense of heaven on Earth, similar to the fictional character Carlisle.

As the song nears the end, it becomes transparent that the songwriter has grown and changed since those times. They acknowledge the growth and acceptance of mistakes as part of the journey, comparing it to smoothing edges on a rock in a river. They don't long for who they used to be but still miss the simplicity and comfort of that time. The chorus repeats, emphasizing the longing to see friends once again.


Overall, "Morning" is a reflective and nostalgic song that explores the passing of time, the uncertainty of the future, and the longing for past connections.
