Nocturnal Koreans
WireHQ Lyrics

The lyrics of "Nocturnal Koreans" by WireHQ are cryptic and metaphorical, but seem to convey the message of feeling lost and out of control in a fast-paced world. The opening lines suggest that the singer is already dressed and showered before waking up, indicating a sense of urgency and a readiness to face the unpredictable challenges of the day. The phrase "going for broke" further emphasizes this idea of taking risks and pushing oneself to the limit. The following lines describe the singer's attempt to navigate a difficult path, "changing wheels often" to avoid any mistakes or missteps. The repeated question "Do you think you are able of finding your way?" amplifies the sense of doubt and uncertainty, as if the singer is trying to convince themselves that they are capable of handling whatever comes their way.

The middle verses introduce a new set of images, that of "bipolar ops" meeting under "sodium lamps," suggesting a covert, possibly criminal operation. The reference to "drug-impaired drivers lost in the woods" adds to the feeling of chaos and danger, while the line "sea-burnt nurses never tasted so good" is ambiguous but could suggest that even those in the medical profession are not immune to the allure of danger and illicit behavior. The repeated "um-um-um" and "her-her-her" phrases seem to function as a sort of chorus, adding to the overall sense of confusion and disorientation.
