Allister Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's 2 A.M. and I'm not asking too much else tonight
So I light a cigarette
And watch the flame burn to my fingers as I think and reflect
On the years that have gone by
And now I'm feeling like a king
With one breath I'll take it all
We watched a good friend fade away
Just like our future on our own no destinations in life
Only thing that's kept the same
But I'm still feeling like a king
And there's just one thing to say
I will wait for you while you wait for me
And I'll meet you somewhere in between.
It's 4 A.M. and I am just about to end this night
'cause I'm out of cigarettes
I'll watch the stars burn through my window as I think and reflect
On the years that have gone by
But I'm still feeling like a king
And there's just one thing to say
I will wait for you while you wait for me
And I'll meet you somewhere in between.
Time is running circles inside my head
4 years of memories I won't forget
And time running out
Times running out
Times running out to say goodbye
[x3]
I will wait for you while you wait for me
And I'll meet you somewhere in between
The lyrics to Allister's "2 A.M." depict a reflective and contemplative moment for the singer. It's 2 A.M. and the singer is doing nothing but sitting around, lighting up a cigarette and musing on the past. The line "And now I'm feeling like a king" suggests that the singer is feeling nostalgic and sentimental as they remember the good old days spent with friends. The line "We watched a good friend fade away" implies that they have experienced a loss, and that through it all, they have remained the same.
The second verse opens with "It's 4 A.M. and I am just about to end this night" revealing that the singer has been ruminating for hours. The line "time is running circles inside my head" emphasizes that the singer is feeling stuck, unable to move on from the past. However, the chorus provides a glimmer of hope with the line "I will wait for you while you wait for me, and I'll meet you somewhere in between." Here, the singer suggests that they are willing to bridge the gap between the past and present to continue their relationships.
Overall, "2 A.M." offers listeners a glimpse into a moment of reflection and mourning for a past that can never be returned to. Still, the song ends with a promise to keep moving forward.
