| Marillion – 100 Nights Lyrics | 12 years ago |

A tough song to interpret. Taken by itself its quite confusing, but you need to view it as the 3rd part of a trilogy with "This Town" and "The Rakes Progress". Really great songwriting from Hogarth. The way I see it, "This Town" is about a couple who moves to the big city and in turn gets seduced and corrupted by it. "The Rakes Progress" is about looking back and realizing you lost your way. "100 Nights" has 2 narrators I believe. I feel like the first half before the solo is the guy in the relationship who is describing his new life in the city and how he's playing the game. At the end I feel like there's a twist where its another guy that the woman is seeing who passes this guy who is unaware that he too is being played. |
