"Last Night In LA" by Horse Head is a song about a person's last night in Los Angeles before leaving the city. The lyrics suggest a sense of urgency and the need to escape. The person is in a room with someone else who is asleep, and they feel the need to leave soon. The song implies that the other person made a mistake by letting the protagonist into their life. The lyrics also mention the line, "I didn't write this song, you did." This could suggest that the protagonist is blaming someone else for the situation they are in, or perhaps they are implying that they are not responsible for their actions. The chorus of the song mentions the GothBoiClique, which is a collective of artists and musicians. It also mentions black cars and counting money, perhaps referring to a lavish lifestyle. The second verse reiterates the protagonist's desire to fall in love, but the other person only wants a sexual relationship. They state that they won't be around by morning, indicating a fleeting connection. The mention of being down like the sun before it's up suggests a feeling of sadness or depression. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus, emphasizing the need to keep the switchblade but not being able to take it on the plane, perhaps symbolizing the need for protection in this transient lifestyle. Overall, "Last Night In LA" depicts a last-minute escape from a situation or relationship in Los Angeles, showcasing themes of fleeting connections, sadness, and a sense of urgency.
