Nightlife
Axel Flóvent Lyrics

Axel Flovent's song Nightlife is a reflective ode to the beauty and fleetingness of youth. The lyrics seem to narrate a conversation between two people, where one person reveals they have formed this nightlife to keep their head in the game and the other person responds by telling them to sleep instead. The person who wants to stay up and party seems to be holding onto their youth and their desire to live in the moment while their companion is more pragmatic and recognizes the inevitability of time and change. Flovent sings "Sleep, my love, it keeps the path low / And time will fade, at least we're still strong," implying that while they may be older, they still have strength and can navigate the future together. However, the song also acknowledges that their path may be uncertain and that, like the lights breaking and bending, things can break and change in unexpected ways. Despite this uncertainty, the singer expresses their trust in their companion and their belief that they will persevere and "build the rest of the tour."

The song creates a powerful sense of intimacy and vulnerability, as if the listener is eavesdropping on a private conversation between two people confronting their mortality and their relationship with each other. Flovent's delivery is quiet and intimate, drawing the listener closer and making them feel like they are sharing in this moment with the two speakers. The lyrical composition of the song is intentionally ambiguous, leaving space for the listener to imbue the song with their own experiences and meanings.
