Yawn Yawn Yawn
Les Savy Fav Lyrics

One was a fighter
The first character was a warrior or someone used to fighting.

One was a rat
The second character was someone who was sneaky like a rat.

They couldn't decipher
They weren't able to understand or figure out how they came together or ended up in their current situation.

How it came about
The reason or cause of their situation was unknown or unclear.

And at the tock of two
At exactly two o'clock, they woke up from their sleep to begin their day.

They crawled out of their bed
They got up slowly and laboriously from their bed or sleeping place.

As if the rooster knew
It seemed as if they were waking up at the same time as a rooster crowed, even though there was no actual rooster.

Each rise of dawn they dread
They were afraid of every new day or the beginning of something new.

Lost in the flurry
They were confused and overwhelmed by their surroundings or situation.

Looking for land mines
They were trying to avoid danger or problems that they could encounter.

Hit in the ribcage
They were struck or impacted in the area of their chest that protects important organs.

Back at the front line
They were back in a familiar place or position, as if they were soldiers at war and had to keep fighting.

And when the sun has fallen
When sunset arrives, indicating the end of the day.

They crawl out of their skins
They become restless or agitated when night comes and it's time to sleep or rest.

They hear the moonlight falling
They can sense or feel the softness of the nighttime and the moon shining on them.

(?) there in
The meaning of this line is unclear, as the lyrics may not be completely audible.

Take deep breaths to wait sweet seconds
They take slow and deep breaths, prolonging their enjoyment or savoring the moment before having to move on.

The late day beckons
The end of the day is calling or inviting them.

And if you save it it'll slip away
If they hold onto something too tightly or try to keep it for too long, they will end up losing it.

Spend seven nights by Saturday
They are suggesting that time can fly by very quickly, so they should make the most of their time and enjoy every moment.

Yawn yawn yawn
They are getting bored or disinterested in their current situation or surroundings.

We're all but gone
They feel that they are disappearing or fading away into nothingness.

If we get lucky
They believe that luck is a factor in their lives, and they hope for the best.

We'll be dead by dawn
They may be suggesting a dangerous or risky lifestyle where they could end up getting killed or not surviving until the next day.

But let's get get get get get get get get it on
They are encouraging the idea of living life to the fullest and enjoying every moment.

I want to get get get get get get get get it on
They are emphasizing their desire to take full advantage of their time and enjoy every moment.

(instrumental)
This line indicates that there is a part of the song that is purely instrumental, without any lyrics or words being spoken or sung.

Charging the windmill
They are going headfirst into something that they may not be able to reach or achieve.

And missing the mark
They end up falling short or failing at whatever it is that they are trying to accomplish.

Blinded by sunlight
They are distracted or disoriented by the light or the possibilities that they see in front of them.

And battling on (?)
The meaning of this line is unclear, as the lyrics may not be completely audible.

I've got a million dollars

Made of ten million dimes
The accumulation of small or insignificant things has led up to their present situation or success.

Made for a million failures

Of others' good advice
