At Night
Scissors Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Knew next to nothing
Living in the suburbs
And my heart was lusting
For a new way
And a new sound
Crawled over my hang-ups
I had a break through
I had to shake you
You could've come too
To see my point of view
We got a breakthrough
It was my debut
It didn't faze you
But it meant something to me
Night life, beneath the surface
Night life, some say it's worthless
High life, instead of being
Inside, it's a song you're singing
Night life, if there's no spirit
Night life, then don't go near it
Night life, to have it over
Inside, you can find your life in the night life
If you are feeling
Like you don't have nothing
Under pressure in the cooker
With your head in the oven
There's a new way
So come on down
Life ain't never really over
When you're underground
You need a breakthrough
You need to make do
You need to come to
A brand new point of view
You need to break through
And then get wise too
Our love is taboo
And you'll be something to see
Night life, beneath the surface
Night life, some say it's worthless
High life, instead of being
Inside, it's a song you're singing
Night life, it's a heart you're racing
Night life, it's a billion daisies
Night life, it's the cash your making
Inside, you can find your life in the night life
It's beneath the surface
Some say it's worthless
It's a low gut feeling
It's the rush you're feeling
You can beg your spirit
If you let that leave it
It's the back you're breaking
Are you in for the night life
Night life, night life, night life
Night life, low life, inside
Night life, night life, night life
Night life, low life, inside
Find your way to hide in the night life
(Night life, night life, night life)
You can find a life in the night life
(Night life, love life, inside)
Find your way to hide in the night life
You can find a life in the night life
The song "At Night" by Scissors is about the experience of discovering and becoming immersed in the underground club scene. The lyrics suggest that the singer, a young girl living in the suburbs, was initially dissatisfied with her life and searching for something new and exciting. She finds this in the night life, which she describes as being "beneath the surface" and "low gut feeling." The singer suggests that the night life is a place where people can be themselves and find a special kind of freedom that they might not have in their everyday lives.
The chorus of the song seems to have a slightly different message. It states that if the night life doesn't have "spirit," then it's best to stay away. This could be interpreted as a warning against the dangers of excessive partying or indulging in vice, and may be a reflection of the darker side of club culture. Overall, the song seems to be a celebration of the night life as a place of escape and self-expression, while also acknowledging the risks and pitfalls that come with it.
Line by Line Meaning
I was a young girl
When I was younger and inexperienced
Knew next to nothing
I had a limited understanding of things
Living in the suburbs
I resided in a quiet area on the outskirts of the city
And my heart was lusting
I had a strong desire for something more
For a new way
I yearned for a different path
And a new sound
I craved a fresh and innovative genre of music
Crawled over my hang-ups
I overcame my inhibitions and fears
In the underground
By immersing myself in the alternative scene
I had a breakthrough
I experienced a significant change in my life
I had to shake you
I had to distance myself from negative influences
You could've come too
You had the option of joining me in this new movement
To see my point of view
To understand my perspective and reasoning
We got a breakthrough
We had a turning point in our lives
It was my debut
I made my first appearance or achievement
It didn't faze you
You were not affected or impressed
But it meant something to me
However, it held significance and value to me
Night life, beneath the surface
The hidden or obscured nightlife scene
Night life, some say it's worthless
Some regard the nightlife as pointless or unimportant
High life, instead of being
The alternative lifestyle rather than the conventional one
Inside, it's a song you're singing
Personally, it was an expression of myself and my life
Night life, if there's no spirit
Without a sense of energy or enthusiasm
Night life, then don't go near it
If there's no passion or excitement, it's not worth pursuing
Night life, to have it over
To experience and enjoy the nightlife
Inside, you can find your life in the night life
Individually, one can find meaning and fulfillment in the alternative scene
If you are feeling
When you are experiencing
Like you don't have nothing
As if you have nothing and are lacking
Under pressure in the cooker
Feeling stressed and under intense conditions
With your head in the oven
Overwhelmed and possibly suicidal
There's a new way
However, there is an alternative solution
So come on down
Join me and others in this lifestyle
Life ain't never really over
Life doesn't have to end or be boring
When you're underground
When you're immersed in the alternative community
You need a breakthrough
You require a significant change or success
You need to make do
You have to make the most of what you have
You need to come to
You must come to a realization or acceptance
A brand new point of view
A new perspective or outlook
And then get wise too
And then become informed and experienced
Our love is taboo
Our unconventional love is socially unacceptable
And you'll be something to see
And you will become someone noteworthy or impressive
Night life, it's a heart you're racing
The nightlife is exhilarating and thrilling
Night life, it's a billion daisies
It's full of infinite possibilities and opportunities
Night life, it's the cash you're making
It's the financial success and rewards
It's beneath the surface
It's not readily visible or apparent
Some say it's worthless
Some believe it has no value
It's a low gut feeling
It's an instinctual and emotional response
It's the rush you're feeling
It's the excitement and adrenaline
You can beg your spirit
You can inspire and motivate yourself
If you let that leave it
If you don't let it escape or disappear
It's the back you're breaking
It's the effort and hard work you're putting in
Are you in for the night life
Are you ready and willing to embrace the alternative scene
Find your way to hide in the night life
Discover a way to fit in and feel comfortable in this lifestyle
You can find a life in the night life
You can find meaning and fulfillment in the alternative community
