So What
P-80 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
The lyrics to P-80's song "So What" are full of imagery and metaphors that describe a unique experience with nature. The first verse begins with the stirring of owls and the turning of an hourglass which signifies the onset of night. The singer then imagines having a conversation with the moon but laments that it would be asleep before they can finish. The second verse describes the magic of lightning bugs whose little lanterns light the way for the moon, the bugs, and the singer. The chorus of the song asks a rhetorical question of what they are doing out so late at night, perhaps signifying the singer's sense of wonder and curiosity about the world around them.
The final verse talks about the singer's relationship to time. They say that if they wake up to a sundial alarm, they won't miss the charm of modern clocks. Furthermore, they say that even if they spend their whole day sleeping, they will still see the world in their dreams, likely referencing the vividness of the singer's imagination. The final chorus repeats the same rhetorical question, perhaps searching for an answer to their own sense of awe and inspiration.
Overall, "So What" is a poetic and ambiguous song that celebrates the beauty of nature and the magic of finding oneself in the world.
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.

While dry firing an Airsoft gun breaks it
