"We Only Come Out At Night" is a searing indictment of the Republican Party

Luke de Spa · 05-10-2006, 07:46 PM

We only come out at night
We only come out at night
The days are much too bright
We only come out at night

Meaning: the Republican Party are ideological vampires. "Bright" refers to Truth, which is more easily concealed or misrepresented in the dark.

And once again, you'll pretend to know me well, my friends
And once again, I'll pretend to know the way
Thru the empty space
Thru the secret places of the heart

Meaning: politics is soulless and false, and its practitioners are duplicitous and lost, spiritually at war with themselves and each other.

We only come out at night
We only come out at night
The days are much too bright
We only come out at night

I walk alone, I walk alone to find the way home
I'm on my own, I'm on my own to see the ways
That I can't help the days, you will make it home o.k
I know you can, and you can

Meaning: a minimalised government can not adequately protect its citizens. Socialism is the true solution.

We only come out at night
We only come out at night
The days are much too bright
We only come out at night

And once again, you'll pretend to know that
There's an end, that there's an end to this begin
It will help you sleep at night
It will make it seem that right is always right
Alright?

Meaning: politics is inherently destructive, but arrogant individuals — Republicans — will assert that they alone possess the insight required to end this cycle. Their bluster is merely a smokescreen for their own fears, and it convinces them that conservatism is always the best political doctrine.

We only come out at night
We only come out at night
The days are much too bright
We only come out at night

Meaning: "we only come out at night" repeats throughout the song, becoming a hopeless mantra of self-denial. Corgan's liberal leanings were never more apparent than in this song.

those aren't lyrics; thus they fall outside the realm of reliable political enquiry

billy said this song was about his rats in a cage.

It's predictable you would say I'm making this up [...], but I am seriously serious.
