Neon Dream
Diskonnekted Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For some sex and drugs and rock and roll
I feel it in my body, I feel it inside
Everything is going to be cool tonight
Now it's going to happen, now you're going to see
I'm not the asshole that I used to be
If I had the inspiration I could reach the other day
But the neon lights awake me as they lead me through the night
No one wants to fuck in romantic candlelight
I'm living a neon dream
A rock and roll-illusion
Empty as my glass
I'm living a neon dream
The night is calling, now it's time to go
For some sex and drugs and rock and roll
I feel it in my body, I feel it inside
Everything is going to be cool tonight
I'm living a neon dream
A rock and roll illusion
Empty as my glass
I'm living a neon dream
The lyrics of Diskonnekted's song Neon Dream depict a life of excess and hedonism. The singer feels the pull of the night and is ready to indulge in sex, drugs, and rock and roll. The lyrics suggest that this lifestyle makes the singer feel alive and cool, but also empty.
The first stanza sets the scene for the night that is about to unfold. The singer is ready to embrace the wild side of life, and the line "I'm not the asshole that I used to be" suggests that this is a departure from the norm. The second stanza introduces a note of wistfulness and ambition, as the singer dreams of being able to transcend the limitations of their current existence. However, the pull of the neon lights and the pleasure-seeking lifestyle is too strong to resist. The final stanza brings the song full circle, as the singer repeats the refrain of "living a neon dream" to signify that this is their reality.
The song tackles the theme of the desire to escape reality and live in a heightened state of being, but also acknowledges the emptiness that can come with such a lifestyle.
