2 AM
Julian Moon Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know that nothing good ever happens
Happens after 2AM
I know that it can feel like it's magic
But it's nothing but a little pretend
I can't resist it
So I give in
I know that nothing good ever happens
Happens
After 2AM

Reeled me in
But I went with no hesistation
There I was
Passenger with no destination
I could taste the whiskey
Every time you kissed me
Getting drunk on you
Would it be so tragic if nothing ever lasted?
What's a girl to do?
I know that nothing good ever happens
Happens after 2AM
I know that it can feel like it's magic
But it's nothing but a little pretend
I can't resist it
So I give in
I know that nothing good ever happens
Happens
After 2AM
(Da da da)
I know that nothing good ever happens
Happens after 2AM
I know that it can feel like it's magic
But it's nothing but a little pretend
I can't resist it
So I give in
I know that nothing good ever happens
Happens

After 2AM
(Da da da)

Overall Meaning

The song "2 AM" by Julian Moon is about the feeling of giving into temptation and knowing that it's not a good idea, but doing it anyway. The song is about a late-night conversation between the singer and someone else, where they discuss the universe and their place in it. The singer then has thoughts about kissing the other person but holds back at first. However, the other person eventually kisses her, and she gives in to the temptation. Despite this, she knows that nothing good comes from things that happen after 2 AM.

The lyrics imply that the singer is conflicted about her feelings towards the other person. She knows that it's not a good idea to give in to temptation and that things that happen late at night can often be regrettable. However, she can't resist the other person and ultimately gives in to her feelings. The reference to whiskey suggests that the singer may be under the influence of alcohol, further complicating her decision-making.

The chorus of the song repeats the message that nothing good ever happens after 2 AM, suggesting that the singer is aware of the potential consequences of her actions. At the same time, she acknowledges that the temptation is too much to resist, and she ultimately gives in to it.

Line by Line Meaning

I was there
I was present in that moment

Sitting on the kitchen counter
I was in a comfortable, casual position

And we were talking about the universe
We were discussing deep, philosophical topics

And if all we are is star dust
Considering the scientific theory that humans are made from elements created by stars

Nothing really harms us
In the grand scheme of the universe, our small problems don't matter much

In the grand scheme of things
In the bigger picture of life

And then I thought about how it wouldn't really hurt if you kissed me
I contemplated the possibility of a romantic interaction with you

Then you kissed me
You took the initiative and kissed me

I know that nothing good ever happens
I understand that negative consequences often result

Happens after 2AM
Actions taken late at night often lead to trouble

I know that it can feel like it's magic
The euphoria of the moment can make it seem special

But it's nothing but a little pretend
But in reality, it's not as meaningful or significant

I can't resist it
I'm drawn to the situation

So I give in
I succumb to the temptation

Reeled me in
You caught my attention and interest

But I went with no hesitation
I was willing to go along with it immediately

Passenger with no destination
I was just along for the ride without a clear end goal

I could taste the whiskey
I could sense the effects of drinking alcohol

Getting drunk on you
I was becoming emotionally intoxicated by the situation

Would it be so tragic if nothing ever lasted?
I wondered if the fleeting moment would matter in the long run

What's a girl to do?
I pondered the right course of action in this situation

(Da da da)
