Turn
The Night Café Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's your turn now
They left me waiting all alone
And I said they'd run

It's my fault now
'Cause they knew I'd give it up
And I said they'd run
I should go
I should leave
But you don't know
You're not asking me

I should go
But they won't learn
I'm told
It's my turn

Am I alone or is this
Me in the zone
Of my head again?
I don't care

I don't believe it
When they tell me
That it's alright, I'm overthinking things
My dear, I don't care

I should go
I should leave
But you don't know
You're not asking me

I should go
They won't learn
I'm told
It's my turn

It's my turn

I should go
I should leave
But you don't know
You're not asking me

I should go
They won't learn




I'm told
It's my turn

Overall Meaning

The Night Café's song "Turn" is a contemplative and introspective piece that revolves around the feeling of being left behind in a relationship. The opening verse "It's your turn now, they left me waiting all alone, and I said they'd run" highlights the feeling of being abandoned by someone you care about. This sentiment is echoed in the chorus when the singer says "I should go, I should leave, but you don't know, you're not asking me". The singer is torn between the impulse to leave and the desire to help those who've wronged them learn from their mistakes.


The second verse "Am I alone or is this me in the zone of my head again?" talks about how the singer gets lost in their own thoughts and the confusion that comes with it. The lines "I don't believe it when they tell me that it's alright, I'm overthinking things" suggest that the singer is not finding any solace in other people's words and is stuck in their own head. However, they still maintain a sense of apathy towards their own predicament and seem to have accepted their current state.


The song's title, "Turn", reflects the idea of the singer taking control of their own life and making an effort to change things for the better. The repetition of the line "It's my turn" throughout the song reinforces this idea that they are ready to take charge of their situation.


In terms of musical composition, "Turn" has a dreamy and mellow sound to it. The guitar riffs are soft and melodic, and the rhythms are subtle, allowing the vocals to take center stage. The harmonies and backing vocals add depth to the track, creating an immersive atmosphere.


Overall, "Turn" is a reflective song that captures the bittersweet feeling of being left behind. The song's introspective lyrics, coupled with the gentle instrumentation, make it a poignant and contemplative piece.
