Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ooh, Aphrodite
Ooh, I wrote your constellation into the sky
S-s-suns at night

We're out late, at 4 AM
He says, "how's the weather, baby?
How you've been?"
You're gonna get sick, you don't know when
They never doubt it at 4 AM
We're out late at 4 AM
He says, "how's the weather, baby?
How you've been?"
You're gonna get sick, you don't know when
They never doubt it at 4 AM

4 AM, 4 AM, falling down again
Unraveling

Ooh, Aphrodite
I wrote your constellation into the sky, ooh
S-s-suns at night

We're out late, at 4 AM
He says, "how's the weather, baby?
How you've been?"
You're gonna get sick, you don't know when
They never doubt it at 4 AM
We're out late at 4 AM
He says, "how's the weather, baby?
How you've been?"
You're gonna get sick, you don't know when
They never doubt it at 4 AM

4 AM, 4 AM, falling down again

We're out late, at 4 AM
He says, "how's the weather, baby?
How you've been?"
You're gonna get sick, you don't know when
They never doubt it at 4 AM
We're out late at 4 AM
He says, "how's the weather, baby?
How you've been?"
You're gonna get sick, you don't know when
They never doubt it at 4 AM

4 AM, 4 AM, 4 AM, 4 AM
4 AM, 4 AM, 4 AM, 4 AM
4 AM, 4 AM, falling down again
4 AM, 4 AM
I'm out late at 4 AM, yeah (4 AM, 4 AM)
I'm out late at 4 AM, yeah (4 AM, 4 AM)
Falling 4 AM, oh, oh




Falling down again, falling down again
Ah, oh

The repetition of "s-s-suns at night" adds to the dreamlike and surreal atmosphere.


The chorus emphasizes the late-night setting and the uncertainty of the future. The person asks how the weather is and how the other person has been, showing a caring and concerned tone.

Despite the potential challenges, they never doubt their connection at 4 AM, implying a strong bond that transcends the late hour.

Aphrodite
I wrote your constellation
Into the sky
S-s-sa, s-s-sa, s-s-sa, s-s-sa, ooh
Suns at night
I'm out late at 4 a.m
He says, "How's the weather, baby? How you been?"
You're gonna get sick, you don't know when
I never doubt it, at 4 a.m
I'm out late at 4 a.m
He says, "How's the weather, baby? How you been?"
You're gonna get sick, you don't know when
I never doubt it, at 4 a.m
4 a.m, 4 a.m
Fallin' down again

Ooh

I wrote your constellation into the sky

He says, "How's the weather, baby? How you been?"
You're gonna get sick, you don't know when
