In the Morning
Norah Jones猀 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
calling out your name
I can't stop myself from falling
falling back again
in the morning,
Baby, in the afternoon
Dark like the shady corner
Hot like to burn my lips
I know I can't win
in the morning
Baby, in the afternoon
I try to quit you but I'm too weak
waking up without you
I can hardly speak at all
My girlfriend tried to help me
get you off my mind
She tried a little tea and sympathy
to help me to unwind
in the morning
Baby, in the afternoon
Funny how my favorite shirt
smells more like you than me
Bitter traces left behind
in stains no one can see
in the morning
Baby, in the afternoon
You're gonna put me in an early grave
I know I'm your slave whenever you call
I can't stop myself from calling
calling out your name
I can't stop myself from falling
falling back again
falling back again
in the morning
Baby, in the afternoon
The lyrics to Norah Jones's song "5-In the morning" express the singer's inability to resist an addictive person they are drawn to. Despite their attempts to move on and forget about this person, they are constantly pulled back in by their allure. The lyrics "I can't stop myself from calling, calling out your name" and "I can't stop myself from falling, falling back again" convey the sense that the singer is trapped in a cycle of attraction and disappointment. They are aware of the negative effects this person has on them, but cannot resist their pull.
The metaphor of the shady corner inside a violin is an interesting way to describe the feeling of being trapped and suffocated by this person's influence. The hotness that is "burning" the singer's lips suggests a passionate but ultimately destructive relationship. The bitter traces left behind in stains are a poignant reminder of how this person has marked the singer and changed them, despite their efforts to deny it. The ending lines, "You're gonna put me in an early grave, I know I'm your slave whenever you call" suggest that the singer is aware of the gravity of their situation and the potential for harm, but cannot escape the hold this person has over them.
Overall, "5-In the morning" is a powerful and emotive exploration of addiction and the irresistible pull of certain people in our lives.
