Date Night
Comadre Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Black teeth and a crown of black lies.
I feel surprised but the room's still alive.
I'm left out, I'm locked in,
if I don't win then I'll feel like a sin.

And I'll keep fighting under dead moons,
I feel the dawn begging come back real soon.
I'm shut out, I'm fading,
the sun's burnt, it's the moon I'm dating.

Still losing, still fighting.
It's like forever never ended in sorries.

Here's to the ones that got caught out in the rain.
The church still swallows.
Drink to the ones with thick skins over their brains.
The devil follows.




Here's to the ones who listen to the sound of the rain.
Never better, but always clever.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Comadre's song "Date Night" explore feelings of isolation and desperation in a dark and haunting atmosphere. The opening lines, "Black teeth and a crown of black lies," set the tone for the rest of the song, painting a picture of someone who is consumed by darkness and deceit. As the song progresses, we hear the singer's inner struggle, as they feel left out and locked in, wanting to win but feeling like a "sin" if they don't.


The repeated refrain of "still losing, still fighting" expresses a sense of hopelessness that is juxtaposed with the image of the "dead moons" and the "sun burnt" moon that the singer is "dating." This contrast between darkness and light, between hopelessness and the promise of a new day, is a recurring theme throughout the song.


In the second verse, the imagery shifts to the rain, which is both a symbol of cleansing and renewal, as well as a reminder of the pain and grief that comes with life. The line "the church still swallows" suggests a sense of confinement or suffocation, while the devil's presence is felt in the reference to those with "thick skins over their brains."


Overall, "Date Night" is a song that explores the complexities of the human experience, from the darkest aspects of our psyche to our eternal striving for hope and redemption.
