Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Shimmering neon lights
And at the fall of night
This city's made of lights
Neon lights
Shimmering neon lights
And at the fall of night
[Random syllables sung off melody]
(Shut that fool up)
(Shut up)
Neon lights
Shimmering neon lights
And at the fall of night
This city's made of lights
Neon lights
Shimmering neon lights
And at the fall of night
This city's made of lights
"Neon Lights" by Kraftwerk is a song that paints a vivid picture of the beauty of a city at night, with neon lights being the key element that brings it to life. The lyrics present the idea that the city itself is made of lights, with the neon lights being the life force that holds it all together. The repetition of the line "shimmering neon lights" creates an almost hypnotic effect, drawing the listener into the world of the song. The random syllables sung off melody add to this effect, creating a dreamlike quality to the overall sound.
The song could be interpreted in a number of ways, but it is mainly about the celebration of man-made beauty in the form of neon lights. The message is that this beauty can be found in even the most mundane of urban environments. The use of the word "shimmering" suggests a gentle movement, perhaps like the flicker of light from the neon tubes as they hum to life. The overall tone is one of awe and wonder, with a hint of melancholy as it speaks of the fall of night.

When did Florian die??
@jameswatker9766
Oh Man. I don’t know how I missed that. I guess his death got buried in all the Covid coverage in May.
He had as big an influence on music as a Bowie or Lennon, perhaps bigger yet he was barely known to the public.
Legend.
