Night phone

In '$wag nightmare's' song 'Night phone,' the artist delves into the complexities of fame, relationships, and personal struggles. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a life in constant motion, where the protagonist is perpetually on the road, disconnected from stable relationships and haunted by nightmares. The recurring motif of the 'night phone' symbolizes late-night calls that signify longing and unresolved emotions, while the 'flip-phone' breakup highlights a sense of nostalgia and the abrupt end of a relationship.

The metaphor of 'flowers never grow' is particularly poignant, representing the stagnation and lack of growth in the artist's personal life. Despite the external validation and recognition ('everybody telling me I'm the shit though'), there is an underlying emptiness and dissatisfaction. The artist's heart races at six PM, a time when most people are winding down, indicating a life out of sync with the norm. The stargazing moment reflects a fleeting sense of wonder and aspiration, yet it is overshadowed by the harsh realities of breaking hearts and falling apart.

The song also touches on the theme of isolation. The artist's nightmares and the promise to return 'when the Moon go' suggest a cyclical pattern of absence and return, further emphasizing the transient nature of his connections. The wind blowing through the window at five AM adds to the sense of desolation and loneliness. Ultimately, 'Night phone' is a raw and introspective exploration of the duality of fame, where the glittering exterior masks a turbulent and often painful inner world.
