The lyric is quite directly inspired by that experience. My theory is that Hugo used to choose his music over his literal friends (or family) and that they know that he is busy making music (messes, he might be thinking that what he makes is worthless, or he is just being sarcastic, or both) out of the computer (silence). The first time we are introduced to the "friends" excluding the intro part. However, this time, the nuance is as if he's earned to be a star (yes, he has IMO). "working overtime" goes back to his night-owl tendency. Additionally, I think it is safe to assume that "you" symbolizes his music.įading into "flashing lights" shows his ambition as an artist - he wants to literally become a star. "Can you make me care" sounds like he is on the verge of giving it all up. Given the information at the beginning, I'd like to interpret the "night" as when he is allowed to be creative and the "morning" as the time when every dream stops. Hopefully "there" - a successful career as a musician. He has a passion for music but he is confused as to where it will lead him. So why bring this all up? Let's start from the first verse: This was artistically symbolized through the "Nonsense" MV with the whole desert scene. One of the main themes of Adventure, this previous LP, was isolation which was probably inspired by him making all of his music by himself in a small studio. He also mentioned in one of the interviews for the adventure that he enjoys the feeling of sleep deprivation in general when being creative. Hugo famously mentioned in a numerous interview in the past that he does this "24-hour EP Challenge" where he locks himself in a studio for 24 hours and create a brand new 3-track EP.
