2am
Ryan Oakes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Now it′s 2AM and they gave the last call
Are we gonna go home are we gonna go hard?
Everytime it's past midnight I tend to fall in
Love baby you can call the bluff I′ll play the cards

Now it's 2AM and they made the last call
Are we gonna go home are we gonna go hard?
Everytime it's past midnight I tend to fall in
Love baby you can call the bluff I′ll play the cards

We got bottles by the case
Got that soda for the taste
Feeling great, I ain′t going home alone tonight
You got everything you need, vodka soda and the weed
I can see you ain't leaving on your own tonight

So let′s put two and two together I can tell you never
Drip in your relationships to hit that buried treasure
I say we skip the pressure, miss all that and skip to pleasure
Sorry it's the liquor talking I just never want forever

Now it′s 2AM and they gave the last call
Are we gonna go home are we gonna go hard?
Everytime it's past midnight I tend to fall in
Love baby you can call the bluff I′ll play the cards

Now it's 2AM and they made the last call
Are we gonna go home are we gonna go hard?
Everytime it's past midnight I tend to fall in
Love baby you can call the bluff I′ll play the cards

I can tell it′s going down everytime you come around
It's a round baby oh no here we go again
It′s almost guaranteed that you're running into me every week
And we end up going home again

We always joke around and say this shit is destined
The more we try to be apart the more we get connected
We don′t want to be together but we never separate
So I think it's time to head on home just like we both suspected

Now it′s 2AM and they gave the last call
Are we gonna go home are we gonna go hard?
Everytime it's past midnight I tend to fall in
Love baby you can call the bluff I'll play the cards

Now it′s 2AM and they made the last call
Are we gonna go home are we gonna go hard?




Everytime it′s past midnight I tend to fall in
Love baby you can call the bluff I'll play the cards

Overall Meaning

The song '2am' by Ryan Oakes is about the blurred lines between wanting to go home and wanting to party hard when the night is almost over. The lyrics talk about how the lead singer has a tendency to fall in love every time it's past midnight, and how he and his friends have bottles by the case to enjoy the night. The song is about the struggle between love and pleasure that people go through in their daily lives.


The lyrics start with "Now it's 2 AM and they gave the last call, are we gonna go home, are we gonna go hard?" This is a common problem many people face when they are out partying. The singer has a dilemma of whether to go home or to continue enjoying the night despite the fact that the bar gave a last call. He likes the girl he is with, and he knows that he wants her, but he is not sure if it's just the alcohol talking or if it's real love. The singer tries to play the cards regardless of the bluff, but he gets confused in the end.


The second verse talks about bottles by the case, vodka soda, and weed. The singer wants it all to continue having a great time, and he doesn't want to spend the night alone. The singer is trying to weigh the options and wonders aloud if the girl is interested in him. In the end, he wants to skip the pressure and go straight to pleasure, but he is not sure if that's a good idea. He knows that he doesn't want to be committed forever, but at the same time, he doesn't want to miss out on anything.


Overall, the lyrics of the song are about the emotions that people go through late at night when they are out partying. The song is filled with uncertainty, confusion, and the fear of missing out. The singer is trying to find a balance between love and pleasure and to make sense of his emotions.

Ryan Oakes you have got to be the single most underrated rapper alive. No one I know has heard of you which is a damn shame cause I'm addicted to more of your songs than any other artist.
