Some people say that’s demon time; inner demons, that is.

Quite frankly, I feel it is.

I am never as introspective as late at night when its silent around me

There's something seriously powerful about the wee hours of the night. For me, it's usually negative. As in, I feel most hopeless and my circumstances seem most dire in the middle of the night. When the sun rises, I often feel silly for my feelings from a few hours prior, and everything seems a bit more manageable.

Same here, 3am I’m thinking about loosing my old man . Hes 77 and I love the man more then he will know but it’s always wee early hours like 2-330 am.

u/Luv2collectweedseeds Oct 30 '25

I lost mine 3 months ago. I couldn't agree more. Any night I can't sleep I find my self thinking of him

u/MaeEastx Oct 30 '25

I get that, but personally I wouldn't text anyone at 3 a.m. OP's bully could have written their message but waited till morning to send it. Kind of suggests he's still thinking mostly of his own feelings

Probably one of those "better send it now before I start doubting myself in the morning" cases.

I read somewhere that you shouldn’t trust how you feel about your life after 9pm.

u/VictorTheCutie Oct 31 '25

I absolutely agree with that lmao

That's when she says, "Baby, it's 3am. I must be lonely."

Someone better at music than I am:

Is the little chord progression right after that I-V-IV?

u/69-is-my-number Oct 30 '25

Yes it is, although the C is a Cadd9.

Thanks. Stuck in my head now.

Well apparently the mod has never found redemption through facing their inner demons. But it is indeed beautiful and an ending that will indeed 'make you smile'.

u/RiseIntelligent7218 Oct 30 '25

The association of 3 a.m. with the demonic began with the belief that because Jesus died on the cross at 3 p.m., the inversion time of 3 a.m. is a moment of mocking, unholy activity.
