Lyrics meaning
The speaker repeatedly says they wear sunglasses at night, presenting it as a way to watch someone and understand what is happening. The mood feels watchful and slightly mysterious rather than openly emotional. The repeated lines make the habit sound important, as if the speaker is trying to stay alert and hold on to what they see.
The other person seems to โweaveโ story lines, which suggests telling a complicated or possibly untrue story. โKeep track of the visions in my eyesโ may mean trying to remember impressions or make sense of confusing sights. The โlightโ before the speakerโs eyes could suggest a sudden realization, or simply something vivid that they notice.
The sunglasses are an unusual choice at night, so they may be more than ordinary eyewear: they could represent a barrier, a private way of looking at the world, or an attempt to feel protected while observing someone. Still, the lyrics do not explain exactly why the speaker wears them. The repeated words leave the situation open to interpretation; the speaker might be suspicious, fascinated, or just describing a strange personal habit.
