Lyrical Analysis of...
3 AM THOUGHTS
- //Intro
- //room tone soft laughter faint tv noise
- Yeah
- Whole world asleep but my brain still humming
- Streetlight flicker like the night’s still drumming
- //Verse 1
- Somebody laughing in the kitchen
- //faint laughs off mic
- I’m zoned out, tryna figure out what the fuck I’m missing
- Phone face down glow cutting through the haze
- She like “you good?” yeah yeah I’m straight just dazed
- //glass clink
- Thinking bout the nights I ain’t feel this calm
- Now the silence feel safe like a healing balm
- Smoke curl slow halo round my palm
- 3 am peace got a different charm
- //Break
- //Door creak /footsteps
- //Friend “Yo, you still up?”
- Yeah, just writing a bit
- //“That’s good, man. You always findin ways to turn the weight into words.”
- Yeah somethin like that
- It’s therapy when the world quiet
- //Verse 2
- They talk ‘bout life like it’s meant to be solved
- But I been finding truth in the shit that dissolves
- Every plan I drew every face I called
- Fading through the dark like it’s all God’s drawl
- //fridge opens low hum rises bottles clinking
- I hear em talkin but it sound so far
- Floatin through the smoke like a wish on a star
- Been losin myself just to learn who we are
- Maybe pain just paint and the scars the art
- //Friend “That’s deep… that’s real deep. You been holdin that in for a while?”
- Yeah I guess so
- Better to bleed through ink than bleed for real you know?
- //Soft laugh from the living room
- Light flick once yeah that’s just how it be
- Trust myself when it’s me versus me
- 3 am spinnin on a quiet spree
- Guess that’s peace in a fucked up degree
- //Break 2
- //off mic voice half laughing “Turn that shit down, man!”
- Yeah yeah I got you almost done
- //Friend“Nah, keep going this the good part.”
- Aight bet
- //Verse 3
- Sun gon rise I can feel it near
- But right now it’s just me and the ghosts I hear
- Every scar I earned got a reason clear
- Turned pain into calm that’s my souvenir
- //Soft inhale
- Let em talk let em fade in the haze
- Lost in thought floating through this phase
- It’s peace it’s chaos it’s love it’s daze
- But it’s mine these 3 am days
- //Friend “It’s all yours, man. You built this peace.”
- Yeah I guess so
- Still, it’s wild how quiet got a sound of its own
- //Verse 4
- Cup still window half open
- Cold air drift in truth half spoken
- Feelin like I’m standin on the edge unbroken
- But the calm hit deep words still unchosen
- //Friend “You sound lighter tonight.”
- Yeah maybe I am
- Still got demons but I talk with em now not hide em fam
- Every scar I used to hate now feel like a brand
- We ain’t perfect fuck it, we real
- World full of fake shit I’d rather just feel
- Let the night talk back let the pain reveal
- What’s gone and what’s left what’s dream and what’s real
- //Friend “You’re doin better than you think, bro. For real.”
- Yeah I’m starting to see that
- //Outro (casual talk over fading beat)
- “Man, every time you do this, you end up sounding like a philosopher.”
- Haha, nah, I just got too much shit on my mind.
- But it’s weird, right? The later it gets, the more honest you feel.
- “Yeah… 3 am don’t lie.”
- Exactly. Ain’t no filters left when the world’s asleep.
- Yeah that’s 3 am for you.
