Lyrics meaning
The speaker seems to be struggling with a false or performed identity and wants to feel like himself again. The song moves between the excitement of a night out and a more vulnerable fear of being alone. Beneath the display of money and nightlife, he sounds emotionally lost and worried about his safety.
A โdisguiseโ represents the version of himself he shows others, while his โstarโ suggests a fading sense of confidence or identity. โRewire all my thoughtsโ is a metaphor for wanting to change his mental state. Throwing money into the sky may look like celebration, but it can also suggest trying to buy excitement or escape. The line โTogether weโre aloneโ captures the strange loneliness of being surrounded by people.
The repeated question about sleeping alone suggests a need for company, though it may be about more than romance: the speaker may fear being left with his own thoughts. His mention of taking too much and not wanting to die makes the songโs nightlife feel dangerous, not simply glamorous. Still, the lyrics leave some uncertainty: the speaker may be asking someone else to help him feel grounded, or he may be describing a temporary crisis in which closeness offers only brief relief.
