Night
Chase;Lead Vocal: Ted Piercefield Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You were in the passenger seat and we were both cryin'
Holdin' hands at the airport, I was droppin' you off
Left you in a ticket line for the last time
It's almost like you were never here
(That you were never, never here)
Now it's a sip, a hit, and I disappear
Gets me through the memories I can't escape
Gets me to the light, gets me through the pain
'Cause if I can't get to you, what's the point anyway?
Might run me off the tracks, might drown me in the waves
Might make me lose my mind, might send me to grave
But it gets me through the nights, gets me through the days
Gets me through the memories I can't escape
It gets me through the night
Now it's been a year, it's pretty clear I'm not over you
Could say it's all good and cool, but we both know that ain't true (that ain't true)
You see me actin' a fool in this shit I post, you know most
I'm a fraud and that ain't me
But it gets me though the nights, gets me through the days
Gets me through the memories I can't escape
Gets me to the light, gets me through the pain
'Cause if I can't get to you, what's the point anyway?
Might run me off the tracks, might drown me in the waves
Might make me lose my mind, might send me to grave
But it gets me through the nights, gets me through the days
Gets me through the memories I can't escape
It gets me through the night
(Gets me through the night)
This'll be my last shot, reachin' out
'Cause I know you're through
But P.S., I still love you
And it gets me though the nights, gets me through the days
Gets me through the memories I can't escape
Gets me to the light, gets me through the pain
'Cause if I can't get to you, what's the point anyway?
Might run me off the tracks, might drown me in the waves
Might make me lose my mind, might send me to grave (Send me away)
But it gets me through the nights, gets me through the days
Gets me through the memories I can't escape
Gets me through the nights
"Night in 2-3" is a poignant and emotional song that reflects the pain of love lost. The lyrics are about the aftermath of a break-up and the struggles that come with trying to move on. The song depicts a heartbroken person who is desperately trying to cope with the memories of the past. In the first verse, the singer reminisces about the last time he dropped his lover off at the airport. The scene is vividly described, with the sound of the gravel and the tears that were shed on that day. The persona then admits that he can hardly believe that his lover was ever with him.
The chorus is a powerful refrain that gives us insight into the persona's state of mind. The repeated phrase "gets me through the nights, gets me through the days," highlights how he is using alcohol and drugs to cope. He admits that if he cannot have his lover, then there is no point in continuing. He is willing to risk his life if that is what it takes to dull the pain.
In the second verse, the singer admits that a year has passed, yet he has not been able to move on. He confesses that his posts on social media might portray him as over the breakup but emphasizes that this is far from the truth. The song ends with a poignant plea to his lost love, admitting that this will be his last attempt to reach out.
