Red
Everything And Nothing Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cashed up and all set
It's a lock-in here until he says so
A little bump from a car key
Sit back darling, it's all about us

Forget the losers, forget the morning
Put a tune on and put your feet up
It was my idea, I hope you know that
We're gonna have this, I'm the one now

Run a red light
Forget the morning
This is tonight

Run a red light
Forget the morning
This is tonight

It's the bar take, not the door split
A few weeks and I can work it
Keep it simple, keep the same crowd
We're on the inside, I'm the one now
Yeah, I'm the one now

It's 2AM, we're leaving loudly
Wake the neighbors, we won't come quietly
They'll all know my name soon
Anyway, anyway, anyway, anyway

Run a red light
Forget the morning
This is tonight

Run a red light
Forget the morning
This is tonight

Run a red light
Forget the morning
This is tonight

Run a red light




Forget the morning
This is tonight

Line by Line Meaning

You never cared in that way
You never showed true love or concern


And I don't want to cry
I don't want to shed tears over you


But I know I'mma be alright
But I know I'll ultimately be okay


Blinded by your actions
I was unable to see reality due to your behavior


I fell for all your lies
I was deceived by everything you said


I wasted so much time
I spent so much of my life on you


Bloodshot red eyes
Eyes that are red from crying


Your lies, your eyes, real lies, real lies
Your dishonesty is evident in your eyes


We are, are oh oh oh
We exist, continued existence


We are, are, are oh
We are still here, despite all


We are, are oh oh oh
We are alive, our existence is meaningful


We are, are
We still exist, we still exist


Bloodshot red eyes
Eyes that are red from crying


Your lies, your eyes, real lies, real lies
Your dishonesty is evident in your eyes
