Closing Time

I believe this song means somewhat about relationships and moving on in life. Sometimes relationships don't always work, so "It's closing time, open all the doors and let you out into the world"(there's plenty of fish in the sea to have a relationship with or there's plenty of places to go so go outside and see the world). "Turn all of the lights on over every boy and every girl" meaning if a relationship ends don't be sad or depressed about it, let the light shine on you and rise above it. "One last call for alcohol so finish your whiskey or beer" meaning you have to stop drinking over your past relationships and move on in life(alcohol just brings you behind and leads you to be depressed). "You don't have to go home but you can't stay here" this is a really hard meaning to understand, but I believe it means a girl wants the guy to leave(shes done with him or parents kicking their kids out when they've grown up enough), but doesn't have to go home he can go someother place else he wishes."I know who I want to take me home" obviously meaning the guy knows who he wants to be with and he says, "take me home" in his head, but than gets rejected, "Closing time". "This room won't be open till your brothers or your sisters come so gather up your jackets, move it to the exits" this pretty much means there's no room for everyone to sit in the same place all the time, move on with your life so others can explore what you explored at your time or age. Then we go to this phrase, "Time for you to go out to the places you will be from" I think this means to start getting realistic and go to the places where you will be living. The last lyrics of the song.. "Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end" Basically this part means there will always be another beginning for someone and sometimes things have to end to start a new beginning. This song to me means all about exploration and understanding what life is all about. I also believe it's about how every life is different and unique and will have thier struggles in life and will also have their own ways(going different directions in life). You can't always follow someone, YOU have to make decisions for yourself. To sum all this up in one general statement, it's pretty much about moving on in life, getting yourself motivated, to improve and move forward. Go as far as you can go and don't ever stop, keep on striving through life. Peace, and I hope you all have a wonderful life to live. -Gurt
