Apollo Brown Lyrics

I wear my sunglasses at night
I wear my sunglasses at night to keep my true intentions and emotions hidden from others, while being able to see and observe their behavior.

So I can, so I can
This phrase is used to imply that there is a specific reason for wearing sunglasses at night, and that reason is about to be explained.

Watch you weave
I watch you closely and carefully as you speak or act, trying to understand your intentions and emotions behind them.

Then breathe your story lines
I pay close attention to the words and stories you tell, trying to understand your perspective and experiences.

Keep track of the visions in my eyes
I keep track of my own thoughts and ideas as I observe and interact with others, trying to maintain my own perspective while understanding theirs.

While she's deceiving me

It cuts my security

Has she got control of me

Don't switch the blade

On the guy in shades, oh-no

Don't masquerade

I can't believe it

Forget my name while you collect your claim

See the light that's right before my eyes

Don't be afraid

It kinda scared you

Oh, I say I wear my sunglasses at night

I cry to you
