Night Time
GAAB Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell me what you′re doing here
Insane asylums and yellow times
I've been dreaming of this day for my whole life
Hey little honey, bubblegum baby
What you doing up so late
I spend my old days making up pretty stories
I Say the words like they′re your last
Let's fuck till the end of time
And I can't breathe any longer
Drownin′ under your starry waters
Sentimental years
Sentimental fears
Hey little honey, sweet little bunny
Tell me what it is you want
Moving picture theaters
How bittersweet, your tears they fall
Hey little baby, rosy little angel
Tell me what it is you need
Sunny sidewalks in an afternoon
Silver smoke kissin′ in the blue dark
I Say the words like they're your last
Let′s fuck till the end of time
I can't breathe any longer
Drownin′ under your starry waters
Sentimental years
Sentimental fears
Sentimental tears
The GAAB song Night Time is a haunting melody that speaks of longing, desire, and a deep sense of wanting. The lyrics are filled with powerful imagery and metaphors that evoke emotions of love, nostalgia, and unrequited passion.
The opening stanza, "Hey little baby, pretty little honey / Tell me what you're doing here / Insane asylums and yellow times / I've been dreaming of this day for my whole life," sets the tone for the song. It speaks of a longing for something that has been dreamt about for a long time, but which is still out of reach. The use of "insane asylums and yellow times" paints a picture of a world that is slightly off-kilter, and filled with difficulty and uncertainty.
The chorus of the song, "I Say the words like they're your last / Let's fuck till the end of time / And I can't breathe any longer / Drownin' under your starry waters," is a powerful representation of the desire that drives the song. The singer is consumed by a sense of passion and longing, and is willing to risk everything to be with the object of his desire. The use of "starry waters" is a beautiful metaphor for the unknown depths of love and desire.
Overall, Night Time is a haunting and beautiful song that speaks to the human experience of longing, desire, and the pain of unrequited love.
