Cover art for After Hours lyrics by Velvet Underground, The

i think this song is about suicide and loneliness. 'If you close the door, the night could last forever' (if you kill yourself, youll be dead forever) Keep the sunshine out (being alone from everyone 'sunshine') 'Say hello to never' (nothing when your dead) All the people are dancing and they're havin such fun I wish it could happen to me (envying other people lives) but if you close the door, I'd never have to see the day again. (if you kill yourself, youll never live again) or this song could be about sex. self explanatory- 'if you close the door, the night could last forever)
