Story Behind The Song

The song was written in the dead of the night when contemplating life and looking for things to do whilst most people were sleeping

Song Description

The song is about being active at night, how strange things happen at night, meeting up with others who have similar nocturnal tendencies, reflecting on life and the injustices of the world.

Lyrics

(whispered intro)
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
In the dead of the night
In the dead of the night

(Verse)
With just one flick of the switch we're on autodrive
In the carriage of life where its do or die
Where its kill or be killed, suppressed or get high
Where we're constantly thinking "why, oh why"
I lie, I feel we need to fix up
I was carried for nine, and on my own from the cut
Just ducking and diving, these 'ifs' and 'buts'
Just skin scraped and saved, its called using your nut
Theres no strings attached here cos them strings got snipped
Now we focus on the jokers too so too ill-equipped

(Chorus)
In the dead of the night, (whispered: "you know where I find refuge")
In the dead of the night (whispered: "where the spirits go and check you")
In the dead of the night I see clearer than light
When the stars become our eyes and we see what's right

(Verse)
The strangest things happen in the dead of the night
When the moon comes alive and all the shadows are light
I feel the need to go and seek out some life
Cos I'm always wide awake when the majority lies
Deep in their slumber, my thoughts lie like thunder
I'm always looking for a friendly roof to get under
With my nocturnal peeps who don't sleep and don't wonder
But I avoid the days and the rays like a fang
Cos Babylon is calling and we don't bear the stamp
And we're stamping our feet while the politicians sleep
But the fuck the politicians cos they'll never help me
They're entwined in business minds and organised crimes
I'm not blind but impartial cos I ain't got the time
I stay focused, spread love and change things through my mind
Cos the only way to change shit comes from inside

(Chorus)
In the dead of the night, (whispered: "you know where I find refuge")
In the dead of the night (whispered: "where the spirits go and check you")
In the dead of the night I see clearer than light
When the stars become our eyes and we see what's right

(Verse)
Shhh, now come a little closer
Magnify your thoughts through degrees I start to show ya
Entwined inside your mind as the spirits start to know ya
Running deep inside your veins until the pain, it starts to throw ya
Its all good though, theres darkness and light
I don't fret, don't pet, got my own f*ckin right
We now beg, you can step, we ain't one that grew blind
With the moon, with the sun, and the stars as they shine
Change the mood of life's grooves that be holding back time
I realise through my soul now our world's in decline
