Apparently the song is about trying to write a song!
Waiting for the break of day--He's been up all night and now it's getting close to sunrise. (25 (or 6) to 4 - Early morning 3.35 0r 3.34am)
Searching for something to say--Trying to think of song lyrics.
Flashing lights against the sky--Perhaps stars or the traditional flashing neon hotel sign.
Giving up I close my eyes--He's exhausted and his eyes hurt from being open too long, so he closes them.
Staring blindly into space--The expression when you're tired and uninspired.
Getting up to splash my face--Something you do when you're trying to stay awake.
Wanting just to stay awake, wondering how much I can take--How far can he push himself to get the song done?
Should I try to do some more?--This is the line that makes many think it's a drug song. But it is just as easily construed as a frustrated writer wondering if he should try to do some more lyrics/songwriting.

∙ 14y agoI don't think anybody knows for sure but there are some theories out there:
1. It may be a drug reference about the quantity of joints one can make from a dime bag or pot.
2. It has to do wit.h religion and a soul searching journey
3. Some authorities on the subject say "It's just a reference to the time of day"--as in "waiting for the break of day" at 25 or (2)6 minutes to 4 a.m. (3:35 or 3:34 a.m.)
