Three Am
Anderson Bill Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you're saying what a crazy fool I am
But the one I love is out tonight with him
Somewhere making love at 3 a.m.
I need a drink but all the bars are locked up tight
A lonely man gets mighty thirsty late at night
I won't ever kiss her sweet, sweet lips again
--- Instrumental ---
There's the river here's the bridge it's too late now
I've got nothing left to live for anyhow
In the news they'll say he couldn't even swim
And he gave his love for love at 3 a.m.
Yes, he gave his life for love at 3 a.m...
The Anderson Bill song "Three Am" talks about a man who is walking the streets of the city at 3 a.m. The singer of the song is out on the streets while the one he loves is out making love with another man. He needs a drink, but all the bars are closed, and in his loneliness, he contemplates the fact that he might never be able to kiss the lips of his beloved again. The song captures the feeling of loneliness, desperation and despair that the singer feels at such an ungodly hour.
The lyrics of the song are a reflection of the human experience. It speaks to the reality that people can feel vulnerable and helpless, particularly when it comes to matters of the heart. The person in the song has lost the person he loves to someone else, and it is something he cannot change. Despite his circumstances, he is still hoping that things might change, but he ultimately realizes that it is too late, and he has nothing left to live for.
In summary, "Three Am" is a poignant story about love, loss, and the struggle to find meaning in a world where things do not always go according to plan. The song is a reminder that no matter how bad things may seem, everyone has a potential for redemption, even if it is just a glimmer of hope.
