After Hours
We Are Scientists Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This door is always open,
No one has the guts to shut us out.
But if we have to go now,
I guess there's always hope that,
Some place will be serving after hours.
This night is winding down but
As always at this hour
Time means nothing,
One final final round cos
Time means nothing,
Say that you'll stay
Say that you'll stay
We're finally drunk enough that,
We're finally soaking up,
The hours that everyone else throws away.
And if we have to go now,
I guess there's always hope,
Tomorrow night will be more of the same.
This night is winding down but
Time means nothing,
As always at this hour
Time means nothing,
One final final round cos
Time means nothing,
Say that you'll stay
Say that you'll stay
Say that you'll stay.
We're all right where we're supposed to be
We're all right where we're supposed to be
We're all right where we're supposed to be (Time means nothing)
We're all right where we're supposed to be (Time means nothing)
This door is always open,
This door is always open,
No one has the guts to shut us out.
No one has the guts to shut us out.
Time means nothing,
Time means nothing,
One final final round cos
Time means nothing,
Say that you'll stay
Say that you'll stay
Say that you'll stay
The song "After Hours" by We Are Scientists is about nightlife and living in the moment. The lyrics convey a message of being carefree, drinking and enjoying the night without worrying about the consequences. The repeated phrase "This door is always open" suggests that the party never stops and nobody can keep them out. However, the song also acknowledges that the night must eventually come to an end, but even then, the possibility of finding another place that is open for "after hours" gives hope to never-ending partygoers.
The lyrics "Time means nothing" reinforces the idea of living in the present moment, as time does not dictate the actions of the partygoers. The repeated phrase towards the end of the song, "Say that you'll stay," signifies the fear of losing the moment and the unwillingness to let the party end, encouraging the listener to stay longer.
