Nightlife Lyrics

and to the dance she ran
red flowers in her hand
she'd heard that they were caught in the web
caught in the thick of it

we know there's spiders down there
(so come on down)
and when it's night time they come up for air
we know you're hiding somewhere
(so come on out)
but now it's night time, there's nothing to fear

we'll turn down the lights in the hall to get you out
the disco ball is spinning around
we'll dance to the bass when it comes in loud
this is the place to be, you should be proud

Some corrections... at least, this is how it sounds to me, and the people at idiotfan.com agree with me :P

And to the dance she ran Red flowers in her hand She'd heard that they were caught in the web Caught in the thick of it

We know there's spiders down there (SO COME ON DOWN) And when it's night time they come up for air We know you're hiding somewhere (SO COME ON OUT) But now it's night time, there's nothing to fear

We'll turn down the lights in the hall to get you out The disco ball is spinning around We'll dance to the bass when it comes in loud This is the place to be, you should be proud


Very interesting correlations there. At first glance, it's about a huge nighttime party, some kind of rave or something, maybe just a high school dance or something of the sort, but what's with all the spiders?

The spiders could represent just about anything. Something evil, that comes out at night to prey on unsuspecting girls who run right into their webs. Or just good dancers who seem to have a million limbs cause they move so fast.

The red flowers symbolize passion, romance, love.

You know what I think? It's about giving up your virginity on prom night. And when you think of it that way, the song seems so much more powerful.

I really like Ayos's interpretation.

Another idea, could it be about someone who disappeared the night of a big social event because she got involved in something shady. The beginning almost suggests that she heard her about the other members involved getting caught, and so she has to go into hiding. Spiders could be related to the miserable life she has to lead while in hiding, and the searchers are urging her out.

it's about why people are attracted to the night and create a night life scene
