All Night Long
B.b. & Q. Band Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Summers, they ain't felt the same
They just tell me it's climate change
I just roll one up and blaze and head back to work for lowered wage
But I'll be hydrated Friday night
Fill up the gas, meet up with friends, lets all chug a 5th tonight yeah
Cause you can't feel the waves unless you step outside
It's all gonna end so why would I sacrifice another night to die so fly
Away an take your time today I'm makin it right
For all the eyes that find a way to see through me
Raise a drink with me
Rewrite our history
It's just that time of the day
This what y'all mean to me
Y'all raise a drink with me
This is the way it should be
Someone had told me to love thy neighbors, live gracefully
Yeah we getting wasted all night long
Got the speakers playing all my songs
Yeah we turning up, all night long, all night long, all night long
Yeah we getting wasted all night long
Got the speakers playing all my songs
Yeah we turning up, all night long, all night long, all night long
I just got to my place
After sleeping on the bus
I'm feeling kind of tired
I'm gonna sleep and never wake up
I got like, l hundred texts all up in my phone
They don't give me breaks
I'm never left alone
Open conversations
I ain't up for conversating
If it isn't with myself
I'll just sit back alternating
Cause everyday the same
I don't catch these breaks
Breaks never been my thing
I guess I'm a fan of ache
Got a closet full of work
That was due today
But I don't even care no
Cause today is the day we
Yeah we getting wasted all night long
Got the speakers playing all my songs
Yeah we turning up, all night long, all night long, all night long
Yeah we getting wasted all night long




Got the speakers playing all my songs
Yeah we turning up, all night long, all night long, all night long

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of this song explore the idea of escapism as a response to life's challenges. The artist talks about how summers don't feel the same anymore and attributes it to climate change. However, instead of dwelling on the negatives, he rolls up a joint, goes back to work for a lowered wage, and waits until Friday night to hang out with his friends and drink, party, and forget about his problems. He believes that since everything will end eventually, there's no point in sacrificing another night to die so they might as well make the most of it while they can.


The artist then invites his friends to raise a drink with him and rewrite their history. He wants to make things right for all the eyes that have found a way to see through him. The song celebrates friendship, togetherness, and living life to the fullest, even when life gets tough.


The lyrics of this song are open to interpretation, but a common theme in them is the idea of seeking solace in the company of friends and the temporary escape that comes with being surrounded by loved ones having a good time.

Uma preciosidade da B.B.& Q, Band, gravada em 82 para a EMI/Capitol.

They don’t make them like this now, so sad where did all the good music go?

The Groovy Files

They did many great songs, check out their 1983 album called Brooklyn, with hits like: On the beat, Starlette, Mistakes, Time for love - their best album imo.
