Ultraviolet
McFly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's all the game of chance they say in wonderland
There's magic in the air
A tragic love affair that I don't understand
These summer girls are really something else
Our lives are short
The nights are long
Mrs Halloween
Is drinking at the bar again in New Orleans
She throws another dart
And narrowly avoids my lonely broken heart
Torn apart
These summer girls are really something else
Our lives are short (It won't be long)
The nights are long
The nights go on and on
The nights go on and on
The nights go on and on
So pinch me I must be dreaming
My life has lost all its meaning
But I like the way I'm feeling now
Kissing your lips at midnight
Under the stars and moonlight
But I never thought we'd be this strong
The nights go on and on
The nights go on and on
The nights go on and on
She's looking good tonight
I love the way she glows in ultraviolet light
Intoxicate my mind
I know that love is blind
And I'm not seeing right
Not alright
These summer girls are really something else
Our lives are short (It won't be long)
The nights are long
These summer girls are really something else
Our lives are short (It won't be long)
The lyrics in McFly's "Ultraviolet" are a reflection on the unpredictability of life and love. The first verse highlights how nothing in life goes according to plan, and how chance plays a major role in determining what happens. Wonderland is a metaphor for the unknown, and the magic in the air is likely a reference to the feeling of being swept away by love, which can be both beautiful and tragic. The second verse depicts the singer's encounter with Mrs. Halloween, an enigmatic figure who represents the allure of a dangerous and unpredictable life. The dart she throws narrowly misses his heart, suggesting that he is both attracted and repelled by this kind of unpredictability. The chorus reiterates the theme of life's transience, and how our experiences are limited by the brevity of time. Finally, the last verse ties together the themes of love and chance, and how they can intoxicate the mind and distort our vision of reality. The line "I know that love is blind" suggests that the singer is willing to take risks in love, even if it means not seeing things clearly.
