Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The night won't break, if the day won't break
But I was out, did you get in, did you
Draw the right stamp on your skin, say
I am ready to owe you anything
I'm ready to owe you anything
I'm ready to owe you anything
We can't...
Keep with me, i hope you'll see that
We can speak at slower speeds
When i wake up it will always be that
When i wake up it will always be that
I am ready to
I am ready to owe you anything
I'm ready to owe you anything
I'm ready to owe you anything
I'm ready to owe you anything
The song "Evening/Morning" by Bombay Bicycle Club is a track that is filled with ambiguity and a sense of detachment. The opening lines "Always adrift, there are trips to make, The night won't break if the day won't break" give a feeling of being lost and without direction. It paints a picture of a person who is confused and unsure about their path in life. The repetition of "did you get in, did you draw the right stamp on your skin" seems to suggest the idea of conforming to societal norms and expectations. It shows how people try to fit in, even if it means losing themselves in the process.
The repetition of "I'm ready to owe you anything" can be interpreted in different ways. It could either be a declaration of love or an act of complete submission. The lines "We can't keep with me, I hope you'll see that, We can speak at slower speeds" seem to indicate a desire for someone to slow down and take time to understand them. However, the sense of detachment from reality is still present, with the line "When I wake up, it will always be that". The song's ambiguous lyrics make it open to interpretation, and the listener is left to fill in the gaps with their own experiences.
