Every once in a while Dana lets her feels get the better of her. This take is incomplete at best. There are less charitable ways to describe it that I won't go into.
Other, later parts of the lyrics say
"Closing time, time for you to go out / to the places you'll be from / Closing time, this room won't be open / Till your brothers or your sisters come." I don't know of any bar that looks, sounds or feels like that. Maybe Dana does.
And the song ends with
"Closing time, every new beginning
Comes from some other beginning's end"
The writer said that the song was inspired by the birth of his daughter, symbolizing the transition from one phase of life to another - according to an AI summary citing Billboard and uDiscover Music. The summary also notes that it's often interpreted as a song about the end of a night at a bar, signaling a last call. It go8on to say that it "also carries a deeper meaning related to new beginnings."
I read a listicle years ago that also listed Closing Time as another song that didn't mean what most people think it does. There is obviously the closing time at a bar imagery and that's what shallow listeners hear.
Sometimes you have to turn off your prejudices and just listen.

It works wonders for all who practice it.

Typical leftist. Let them cry.
I can firmly say that without a doubt this post from Dana is the one and only thing I have ever liked about this gawd awful song 😆
LOL!! Love this Ms.Dana!!!
Maybe the President should have played the Beatle song "Get Back" After all the chorus is "Get Back, Get Back Get back to where you once belonged"
