I love the crazy all over the place bouncy guitar on the chorus. They actually said penis on stage? That's interesting. So, first thing, he connects the words chord and night to mean the same things figuratively for this song, so that might unlock some stuff. The rest of this post will be BS, 'cause I still don't really get this song, but here goes. So, with the chord analogy, and his sorrowful symphony being made up of chords/nights, he's describing recent events, obstacles that keep getting in his way, knocking him down. This song is similar to Anything, because he's now painless and able to do anything, to do what he was trying to do, but kept getting blocked by the nights. If The Everglow is an album about conversion, "All these faded lights, have made me search for something more. Will there be a new, tomorrow?" might be the question that the central character is asking himself before getting saved, coming upon the everglow, if you will. Eh, I have no idea, take what you will from this. Peace out, I love this song.
