Nights
HOOSH Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Eyes donโt hide a thing
Whyโs it I feel numb
I canโt feel a thing
Leaving
Weaving in and out of traffic frantic for a memory to hold
Breathing
Gets heavy when thereโs weight on your shoulders
Sleep but all to frequent itโs not decent with a coffee on the stove
Knee deep in some shit that I donโt think I can hold
Think fine
Accept the wasted time
I think this place is fine Iโll be alright
I gotta try
These nights
Iโm wasted friends and I
May do this just to hide
Itโs not alright itโs not alright
Loaded
Zoning
Zoots Iโm smoking
Wonโt sit
Highs just fade
Slurring
Searching
It gets hard to word it
I guess itโs better not to say
That Iโm leaving
Fuck it whatโs a memory when enemies are friendly just to hoax
And Iโm reeking
Of reefer and all this remorse
And Iโm peaking
Leaking out tequila and some feelings that Iโd rather leave alone
And Iโm seeking
The weekend to bury the holes
Think fine
Accept the wasted time
I think this place is fine Iโll be alright
I gotta try
These nights
Iโm wasted friends and I
May do this just to hide
Itโs not alright itโs not alright
In the lyrics of HOOSH's song "Nights," the singer reflects on a sense of detachment and numbness, hinting at a struggle with feeling disconnected from their emotions and surroundings. The mention of feeling "numb" and unable to "feel a thing" conveys a deep sense of emptiness and desolation within the singer. The repetitiveness in the phrases "Leaving," "Breathing," and "Needing" suggests a constant cycle of seeking escape and respite, perhaps through substances or distractions.
The imagery of weaving in and out of traffic and feeling frantic for a memory to hold paints a picture of a restless and unsettled mind, constantly searching for some anchor or semblance of stability. The weight on the shoulders symbolizes burdens and responsibilities that make it hard to breathe, leading to a desire for escape or relief, even though it may not be truly fulfilling or comforting. The reference to being knee-deep in a difficult situation adds to the feeling of being overwhelmed and struggling to hold on.
The singer's coping mechanisms seem to involve using substances like alcohol and marijuana to cope with their feelings of loneliness, regret, and self-doubt. The lines about being "loaded," "reeking of reefer," and "leaking out tequila" suggest a pattern of numbing oneself to avoid confronting deep-seated emotions or issues. The mention of enemies pretending to be friendly and the idea of burying feelings during the weekend further hint at a facade of normalcy and a desire to escape one's own thoughts and fears.
Despite the temporary respite that comes from being in the company of "wasted friends" and engaging in distractions, there is a lingering sense of unease and a recognition that this behavior is merely a way to hide from the pain and turmoil within. The refrain of "It's not alright, it's not alright" underscores the underlying unease and dissatisfaction that the singer feels with the current state of affairs. The repeated acknowledgement of wasted time and the struggle with acceptance suggests a deep introspection and awareness of one's own shortcomings and escapism tendencies.
