Up All Night
Unwritten_law Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can we talk about automatic satisfaction
Sittin' back relaxin' floored
What's wrong with kickin' it
When you're bored and lit
Lets smoke some cigarettes
And catch up on the back porch
Fire up another roach
We don't need a rest this is just a test
'cause we're alright, we're up all night
To see the sun come up again now
Just one more time no reason why
To see the sun come up again.

The more we try to change
The more we stay the same
We're caught up in the game and now
Just like empty picture frames
So now were to blame

Said we were gettin' down, on henessey and fountain
Smelled another mountain now
If you ain't gettin' down, you'll come around
And were alright, we're up all night
To see the sun come up again now
Just one more time, no reason why
To see the sun come up again.

So lets smoke some cigarettes
And catch up on the back porch
Fire up another roach

We don't need a rest, it's just a test
And as the world spins we'll watch it with a grin
And look in as the day begins
Well now it's on again, it's dawn again.
Yeah! Yeah!
And we're alright
We're up all night

To see the sun come up again now
Just one more time, no reason why
To see the sun come up again
Yeah we're alright, yeah we're alright
Yeah we're alright, up all night




Yeah we're alright, yeah we're alright
To see the sun come up again now!

Exactly 18 years have past and i'm still loving this song. Elva is one of the most beautiful albums i ever heard.

@zebraskin

I remember, it's early 00s I'm on my boogie board looking out to the vast sea to thia.

@paulinekeown2472

This was my favorite album when I was in high school..I graduated 2003. I feel like I was the only one who loved them because no one else had heard of them. Super underrated, and they sound just as good in 2023, maybe better even.

@breestone6607

I almost cried when i found this, 13 years ago, We used to play this cd everyday after school at my friends house. I loved those care free good ol days where it was all about hanging out with friends always laughing at everything going everywhere talking about who were crushing on and just living in the moment. Those were the best days of my life

@davehimself9164

bree, dont cry, the 90's are very much alive in the hearts and minds of people like us who resist changing for the worst and resent having to grow up.

@raujota

:'D

@annemarieadhd

Amen to that!!!

@ReaperKezia

Don't forget playing MASH-O!
