I Believe this Song is about what it says it is; Family The Artist is singing about his brother, more specifically his brother's lifestyle. His "Nightlife" consists of cursing like it's "his right" to do so, implied drinking and smoking, yelling obscenities at girl's walking by as if he was looking for a fight "thirsty for blood." The Moon shines light on the world, allowing people to exist in the Night and he is making a "fool of the moon" for letting him act so ignorantly. The man wonders how his brother can look at himself in the day time and is disgusted with his brother's habits but at the same time he goes along with it "Bum me a cigarette Buy me a beer, till I'm happy to be here." He'll drink and smoke with his brother to numb the reality of the situation and the cards they've both been dealt. It's not only his Brother's life, Some women in his family are "hookers" and he watches the men that prey on them like "hungry black eels". He doesn't necessarily want this filthy life for his Family but at the same time, he sees no escape, so he does nothing to prevent it and goes along with it. "Am I just a Spark." This final lyric Is the singer wondering if by not interfering and stopping the lifestyle of his Family, Is he essentially encouraging or "Sparking" it. *It Really Is a wonderful song and relatable on the level that all our Family's have flaws they are not proud of, but we back their decisions because they are Family and stand by them even if sometimes it's for the wrong reasons. The Lyrics portray the darker side of some Families and the feeling of relentless emptiness in this lifestyle of drugs, alcohol, and prostitution and how it affects the brother. |
