Sunglasses at Night
Tiga & Zyntherius Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wear my sunglasses at night
So I can, so I can
Watch you weave then breath your story lines.

And I wear my sunglasses at night
So I can, so I can
Keep track of the visions in my eyes.

Don't masquerade with the guy in shades, Oh no
Don't masquerade with the guy in shades, Oh no
Don't masquerade with the guy in shades, Oh no
Don't masquerade with the guy in shades, Oh no

I wear my sunglasses at night
So I can, so I can
Watch you weave then breath your story lines.

And I wear my sunglasses at night
So I can, so I can
Keep track of the visions in my eyes.

(x3)

Don't masquerade with the guy in shades, Oh no
Don't masquerade with the guy in shades, Oh no
Don't masquerade with the guy in shades, Oh no
Don't masquerade with the guy in shades, Oh no

I wear my sunglasses at night
Keep track of the visions in my eyes.

Don't masquerade with the guy in shades, Oh no
Don't masquerade with the guy in shades, Oh no

Overall Meaning

The song "Sunglasses at Night" by Tiga & Zyntherius has become iconic since it first appeared in the 2002 album "Electronic Beats". The song is a remix of a hit song by Corey Hart. The lyrics refer to wearing sunglasses at night and the purpose behind it. The singer explains that they wear their sunglasses at night in order to "watch you weave then breath your story lines" and "keep track of the visions in my eyes". The sunglasses, therefore, serve as a tool for observation and understanding.

The song goes on to warn the listener about not masquerading with a guy in shades, suggesting that the sunglasses may be used to deceive or hide something. The overall tone of the song suggests a certain level of paranoia and mistrust, as the repeated warning not to masquerade with the guy in shades emphasizes the importance of authenticity.

The song has been interpreted in various ways, but one possible interpretation is that the sunglasses represent a barrier between the singer and the world, a way to observe without being seen or affected. The lyrics suggest that the singer is looking for authenticity and clarity in a world full of deception and uncertainty, and the sunglasses become a symbol of that search.
