In The Morning
RAZORLIGHT (www.united-forums.co.uk) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't know what I'm doing wrong
Maybe I've been here too long
The songs on the radio sound the same
Everybody just looks the same

But then last night was so much fun
And now your sheets are dirty
The streets are dirty too but
You never look back over what you've done

Remember when you were young
You'd lose yourself
In the morning, you know you won't remember a thing
In the morning, you know it's gonna be alright

Wake him up, warm him up
Put him on the stage, well
The boy can't help it, it's not his fault
Just a dangerous, dangerous age

But then every night's still so much fun
And you're still out there darling
Clinging on to the wrong ideas but
I never regret anything I've done

Remember when you were young
You'd lose yourself
In the morning you know he won't remember a thing
In the morning you know it's gonna be alright

In the morning, you know he won't remember a thing
In the morning, you know it's gonna be all

In the morning, you know he won't remember a thing
In the morning, you know it's gonna be all
In the morning, you know he won't remember a thing
In the morning, you know it's gonna be alright

Are you really gonna do it this time?
Are you really gonna do it this time?
Are you really gonna do it this time?
Are you really gonna do it this time?
Are you really gonna do it this time?
Are you really gonna do it this time?
Are you really gonna do it this time?
Are you really gonna do it this time?

Are you really gonna do it this time?
Are you really gonna do it this time?
Are you really gonna do it this time?
Are you really gonna do it this time?
Are you really gonna do it this time?
Are you really gonna do it this time?
Are you really gonna do it this time?
Are you really gonna do it this time?

Are you really gonna do it this time?
Are you really gonna do it this time?
Are you really gonna do it this time?




Are you really gonna do it this time?
In the morning, you know you won't remember a thing

Overall Meaning

In "In The Morning," Razorlight's lead singer is grappling with the feeling of being stuck in a monotonous existence. He's getting older, and he's tired of hearing the same songs on the radio and seeing people conform to societal norms. In the chorus, he reminisces about the wild nights of his youth, where he "lost himself." Although he recognizes that the nights are often fueled by dangerous behavior, he asserts that he never regrets anything he's done.


The reference to sheets and streets being dirty suggests that the night he just had was one of passion and indulgence. However, he recognizes that in the morning, he won't remember what happened as he's done it all before. The repetitiveness of his actions is mirrored in the song's repetition, with the same line being repeated at the end of each verse and the chorus.


The line 'Are you really gonna do it this time?' is repeated over and over in the last verse, almost like a plea to break the cycle and try something new. However, the song ends with the same line from the chorus - in the morning, you know you won't remember a thing - suggesting that the singer is still trapped in this cycle of repetition come morning.


Line by Line Meaning

I don't know what I'm doing wrong
I am unsure of my mistakes


Maybe I've been here too long
Perhaps I have stayed for too long


The songs on the radio sound the same
The music on the radio is repetitive


Everybody just looks the same
Everyone appears similar


But then last night was so much fun
However, last night was enjoyable


And now your sheets are dirty
Your sheets are stained from the activities last night


The streets are dirty too but
The streets are also unclean, however,


You never look back over what you've done
You never reflect upon your actions


Remember when you were young
Recall when you were a child


You'd lose yourself
You would become fully immersed


In the morning, you know you won't remember a thing
Come morning, you will not recollect what happened

In the morning, things will be okay


Wake him up, warm him up
Wake the performer up, get him psyched up


Put him on the stage, well
Place him on the stage with confidence


The boy can't help it, it's not his fault

Just a dangerous, dangerous age
This is an age with a great deal of peril


But then every night's still so much fun
However, every night is still enjoyable


And you're still out there darling
And you are still engaging in this behavior, my love


Clinging on to the wrong ideas but
Holding on to erroneous beliefs, however


I never regret anything I've done
I have no remorse for my actions


Are you really gonna do it this time?
Are you truly going to follow through with your plans?


In the morning, you know you won't remember a thing
Come morning, there will be no recollection of the events

No sé lo que estoy haciendo mal 
Tal vez he estado aquí demasiado tiempo 
Las canciones en la radio suenan igual
Todo el mundo solamente se ve igual
Pero entonces anoche fue tan divertido 
Y ahora tus sabanas están sucias 
Las calles están sucias también pero
Nunca miraste hacia atrás sobre lo que has hecho 
Recuerda cuando eras joven 
Solías perderte (o "Solías soltarte/ser suelta")
Por la mañana, sabes que no recordaras nada 
Por la mañana, sabes que va a estar todo bien 

Despertarlo, darle carlo 
Ponerlo en el escenario, bueno
el niño no puede evitarlo, no es su culpa 
Sólo una cosa peligrosa peligrosa (o "muy peligrosa")
Pero entonces, cada noche sigue siendo tan divertida 
Y todavía estás por ahí afuera querida 
Aferrándote a las ideas equivocadas, pero 
Nunca me arrepiento de nada de lo que he hecho 

Recuerda cuando usted eras joven 
Solías perderte (o "Solías soltarte/ser suelta")
Por la mañana, sabes que el no recordará nada 
Por la mañana, sabes que va a estar todo bien 

Por la mañana, sabes que el no recordará nada 
Por la mañana, sabes que va a estar todo...
Por la mañana, sabes que el no recordará nada 
Por la mañana, sabes que va a estar todo...
Por la mañana, sabes que el no recordará nada 
Por la mañana, sabes que va a estar todo bien

Realmente vas a hacerlo esta vez?
Realmente vas a hacerlo esta vez?
Realmente vas a hacerlo esta vez?
Realmente vas a hacerlo esta vez?
X2

Tenes que hacerlo esta vez
Realmente vas a hacerlo esta vez o qué?
Realmente vas a hacerlo esta vez? Yeah!
Realmente vas a hacer qué?

Por la mañana, sabes que el no recordará nada
No, ni una cosa y
Por la mañana, sabes que el no recordará nada

Dude. Same

conorefc86

Very underrated band.

Gary Thomson

Dose of nostalgia from every song from this era

Samuel Powell

this song brings back so many happy memories in high school with my friend, time seemed simpler and the music on the radio were tunes like this with artists that actually played instruments, miss those indie days, I wanna throw one of my friends some love as he's always been there for me, if a music producer now and heavily influenced by our high school indie days, try searching Lonely Gimmick - Grumpy Days, despite the name its a very happy indie track, its honestly such a great tune well worth a listen!

When I was in London 🍃 amazing time.... kisses from Brasil

Gary Dixon

Chris Morris

A car drove past me earlier with razorlight playing , and made me remember them and want to listen and what a quality band they were/are!... Made brilliant music , some real good tacks. Underrated in my opinion

Anyone else still listening here in August 2020??

Eitherway im still a massive fan , just finished dancing round the kitchen to this song. Great Band , up there with the best !!
