2 am

• iron maiden'in x factor albumundeki bence en iyi parca. bu kadar mi depresif bi etkisi olur bi sarkinin insan ustunde hoy yani.
• i get in from work at 2 am
  and sit down with a beer
  turn on late night tv
  and then wonder why i'm here
  it's meaningless and trivial
  and it washes over me
  and once again i wonder
  is this all there for me
  
  here i am again
  look at me again
  here i am again
  on my own
  trying hard to see
  what there is for me
  here i am again
  on my own
  
  life seems so pathetic
  i wish i could leave it all behind
  the canvas chair this bed
  these walls that fall in on my mind
  hold on for something better
  that just drags you through the dirt
  do you just let go or carry on
  and try to take the hurt
  
  here i am again
  look at me again
  here i am again
  on my own
  trying hard to see
  what there is for me
  here i am again
  on my own
• en şanslı c'ye hitap eden çift
• 5:38 süreye sahip bu harika iron maiden parçası bir bayley/gers/harris ortak yapımıdır.parçanın yavaş yavaş hızlanan solosu mükemmel ötesidir.
• yamulmuyorsam iron maiden'in hiçbir konserde çalmadığı parça.
• bir thee more shallows sarkisi, sabah saat 2 de basa gelen seylerden bahseder.
  sozleri de soyledir:
  
  when it begins, sound rushes in and drowns out everything
  sideways in bed, you cover your ears, the roar is deafening
  when it won't quit you stagger up and into the hall
  but out there it's louder. somebody's party? you start to yell
  
  "hey, buddy, hey! hey, buddy, please!
  would you quiet down? you're killing me!
  it's 2 am, i'm trying to sleep!"
  
  but the sound keeps going, 'til the walls are shaking
  and no one answers though you keep running around and banging on doors
  and it seems strange there's no one home, you start to wonder
  "who's making that noise if i'm up here all alone?"
  but then the pitch hits and you stop caring
  cause what was piercing is now controlled
  and there's no who and no why and there's no conflict
  you breathe it out and let it go.
  
  you start a song and when you sing the sound is gone
  and when you sing the lights come on!
  and then the doors all open wide!
  and then the whole hall staggers out and sings along!
  you rub your eyes, they come closer? it's a party.
• her gece, ekseriyetle yatış kotası olarak belirlenip hiçbir gece gerçekleştirilemeyen uyku zamanıdır kimisine göre de.
• iron maiden'ın en underrated şarkılarından biridir.
• kendisinden sonra hiçbir şeyin iyi olmayacağı saat
  (bkz: nothing good happens after two a.m.)
• solo'su harikadır. hatta maiden bu soloyu çok daha güzel bir şarkıda kullanabilirdi.
