Night Out
Blue Rain Boots Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Talking is cheap I've got nothing to do today
A week or two since I've seen my friends
But rest assured it's me not them
And I think we have more potential
Love's never felt so consequential
Give me a second to move a foot ahead
You knew the words before I wrote them
Give it all up to be a part of my scene
Take the night out if it feels right
We'll go dancing dancing dancing to the sunlight
Maybe drive down to your friend's house
But your parents said be home for the sundown
Let's go drive down the coast get a room in Port Orford
Ditch the routine it's smelling loud in the suburbs
Hair's in my face I've got something to hide me
Holes in my shoes from a life that's behind me
Humming out a familiar tune
Still missing the days when the sky was blue
Can't seem to find an end to all these songs
If you knew the words before I wrote them
You took all your time figuring out all the old ones
Give it all up to be a part of my scene
Take the night out if it feels right
We'll go dancing dancing dancing to the sunlight
Maybe drive down to your friend's house
But your parents said be home for the sundown
The lyrics of "Night Out" by Blue Rain Boots convey a sense of restlessness and longing for connection and excitement. The opening lines suggest that the singer is searching for a way to express themselves, perhaps through growing out their hair. They acknowledge that talking is easy but finding something meaningful to do is more challenging.
The lyrics also touch upon a period of time since the singer has seen their friends, implying a sense of isolation. However, the singer wants to emphasize that it is their own choice to withdraw, rather than any fault of their friends. They believe that there is untapped potential in their relationships and that love has become more significant than ever before.
The chorus suggests a desire to break free from monotony and routine. The singer wants to seize the night and indulge in activities like dancing and driving down to a friend's house. However, there is a restriction placed by their parents, who insist they be home before sundown.
As the song progresses, the lyrics evoke a sense of longing and nostalgia. The singer refers to a time when things were simpler, symbolized by the sky being blue. They express a desire to find an end to their troubles and the constant cycle of writing songs. The repetition of the line "If you knew the words before I wrote them" implies a deep connection with someone who understands them effortlessly.
Overall, "Night Out" captures the yearning for adventure, connection, and a break from the mundane aspects of life. It speaks to the desire to live fully and embrace the whims of the moment, while also acknowledging the constraints and responsibilities that come with it.
