Neon Lights
Kraftw erk Lyrics
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
In "Neon Lights" by Kraftwerk, the lyrics focus on the beauty and allure of urban spaces at night, specifically the glowing neon lights that illuminate the city streets. The repeated chorus, "Neon lights, shimmering neon lights," emphasizes the hypnotic and almost mesmerizing effect of these lights, which seem to create a world of their own in the darkness. The line "This city's made of lights" suggests that the neon fixtures are not just a decorative element, but an integral and defining part of the urban landscape.
The verses of the song are sparse, with only a few lines repeated over and over again. There are also several sections of random syllables sung off melody, which may signify the chaos and noise of the city. The brief interlude, "Shut that fool up/ Shut up," may be a critique of those who talk too much and do not appreciate the simple beauty of the neon lights that surround them.
Overall, "Neon Lights" presents a dreamlike and sensory experience of the city at night, highlighting the special magic of neon lights that create a unique visual aesthetic in the darkness.

The bright lights of neon
Shimmering neon lights
The neon lights are sparkling and shining
And at the fall of night
As night falls
This city's made of lights
The city is defined by its bright lights
Random syllables sung off melody
Unintelligible sounds that don't convey a specific meaning
(Shut that fool up)
Someone is being commanded to silence a foolish person
(Shut up)
The command to be quiet

When did Florian die??

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.
