Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
More than you know it, I'm aware
Of this connection that we share
Yeah I know it seems like sometimes I don't care
But you are the colours that I wear
It's been a few hours, nearly dawn
You've been real quiet all along
Hey baby what's going on?
3 AM we seemed alright (Couldn't be better, couldn't be better)
On our way into the light
Now 3 AM is gone
Along with where there's nothing wrong
3 AM we seemed alright
If I have been thoughtless, let me know
I can take a hint you know
Though I'm a little slow
Just don't keep it in you
Lest it take root and grow
The bottom line here is I love you so
3 AM we seemed alright (Couldn't be better, couldn't be better)
On our way into the light
Now 3 AM is gone
Along with where there's nothing wrong
3 AM we seemed alright
3 AM we seemed alright (Like never better, like never better)
We're on our way into the light
Now 3 AM is gone
Along with where there's nothing wrong
3 AM we seemed alright
Ooooh
3 AM we seemed alright (Couldn't be better, couldn't be better)
On our way into the light
Now 3 AM is gone
Along with where there's nothing wrong
3 AM we seemed alright
Ooooh
3 AM we seemed alright (Like never better, like never better)
On our way into the light
Now 3 AM is gone
Along with where there's nothing wrong
3 AM we seemed alright
The song "3 AM" by Poet's of the Fall is a song about a relationship where one partner is feeling a disconnect with their significant other. The lyrics speak of an unspoken connection between the two individuals, where one partner might think the other is not aware of this connection, but in reality, they do. The partner feeling the disconnection expresses that they do care, even though it might seem like they don't.
As the song progresses, the partner feels that something is not right in the relationship, but they don't know what it is. They try to comfort their significant other with their love, but at the same time, they want to know what is causing their distress. The specific time of 3 AM is significant because it's the time when one is most vulnerable and reflective.
Overall, the song tries to convey the message of the importance of communication within a relationship. If there is any issue, it would be better to discuss it instead of internalizing it, as it might lead to misunderstandings and further disconnection.
