This is not your typical motorik beat kraut album; rather it sounds more like a breezy take on Love or Beau Brummels. The way that songs like “Willoweed” and “Paisley” flow seamlessly into one another, it is easy to see how listeners will become entranced by this new, dream-like world that The Holydrug Couple have created. These two stand-out tracks, as well as “Follow Your Way” really exemplify the growth of this band and signify the new direction they’re headed in.
Light Or Night
The Holydrug Couple Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And everything you own it's mine
Dark is bright
And all that I see it's light
Slowly again
Quickly grows behind the wall
Up is down
Around
Word by word
Friday I came
Straight to death inside my bed
Gold is black
And all that I see it's dark
Slowly today
Glowing fast under the floor
Day or night
I know what everything's about
Around
Word by word
The Holydrug Couple's "Light or Night" is a song with surreal and abstract lyrics that can be interpreted in different ways. The song seems to explore the duality of things and how they can be perceived differently depending on the perspective. The first verse, "Monday you came and everything you own it's mine/ Dark is bright and all that I see it's light," could be interpreted as a reference to a person or an event that has brought light to the singer's life, even though it may seem dark to others. The line "all that I see is light" suggests a newfound optimism or a shift in perception.
The second verse, "Friday I came straight to death inside my bed/ Gold is black and all that I see it's dark," contrasts sharply with the first one. Here, the same day of the week has a completely different meaning to the singer. The line "straight to death inside my bed" may suggest illness, depression or a feeling of isolation. The metaphor of "gold is black" may represent loss or disillusionment. The chorus, "Slowly today, glowing fast under the floor/ Day or night I know what everything's about," suggests a sense of revelation or understanding that the singer has gained. The repetition of "around, word by word" seems to emphasize the importance of paying attention to the details.
Some possible interpretations of the song are that it deals with the contrast between light and darkness, the subjective nature of reality, the importance of being open-minded, and the potential for growth and change.
