So What
P-80 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When the owls begin to stir
And the hourglass has nearly turned
We will strike conversation with the moon
But the moon will sleep before we do

The lightning bugs, they surely are
Constellations trapped in jars
Those little lanterns light the way
For the moon, the lightning bugs, and me

What are we doing out so late at night
What are we doing out so late at night

If I wake up to sundial alarms
I won't miss modern clockwork charm
And if I spend all damn day asleep
I'll still see you in my dreams

What are we doing out so late at night
What are we doing out so late at night
What are we doing out so late at night

What are we doing out so late at night




What are we doing out so late at night
What are we doing out so late at night

Line by Line Meaning

When the owls begin to stir
As night approaches and nature's nocturnal creatures awaken


And the hourglass has nearly turned
As time passes by and the night marches on


We will strike conversation with the moon
We will talk to the moon as if it were a friend, sharing our thoughts and feelings


But the moon will sleep before we do
The moon will eventually disappear as the sun rises and we will still be awake


The lightning bugs, they surely are
Fireflies are like stars


Constellations trapped in jars
Captured and contained like star patterns in the sky


Those little lanterns light the way
They guide us and illuminate our path through the dark


For the moon, the lightning bugs, and me
We are all part of this nighttime world


If I wake up to sundial alarms
If I rely on older and simpler ways of keeping time


I won't miss modern clockwork charm
I won't feel like I'm missing out on anything fancy


And if I spend all damn day asleep
If I end up sleeping through the day


I'll still see you in my dreams
I'll still hold onto the memories of the night before, and imagine seeing you in my dreams


What are we doing out so late at night
Questioning why we are awake and out during this time


What are we doing out so late at night
Repeating the question with a sense of curiosity


What are we doing out so late at night
Asking ourselves again as we try to make sense of it all


What are we doing out so late at night
Wondering what could possibly be keeping us awake at such a late hour


What are we doing out so late at night
Pondering the deeper meaning of our nighttime existence


What are we doing out so late at night
Questioning the purpose and significance of our nocturnal activities

@Isaiah Chaparro the orange tip is in internal plug. Unscrew it and get a 11mm CW Positive to 14mm CCW negative adapter then you can mount a thread protector, suppressor, or compensator.

i was wondering if something like this existed. i don't play airsoft but with ammo prices the way they are now days, i figured airsoft would be pretty good substitute for dry fire practice.

@ATF hes not going to dry fire the airsoft gun dummy

ATF

While dry firing an Airsoft gun breaks it

ATF

Dry firing does absolutely 0 damage to your Glock
