ALESSO Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Looking for love in all the wrong places
Really don't know how we made it here
Never thought I was worth what you give
Never felt quite alive, now I'm living
Yeah, you kill my doubts, they disappear
Hold me down, you do
Used to be scared of falling, 'til you came around
Came around
Now I just wanna stay here and fall into midnight
Want nobody else now, only you feel right
Time enjoyed wasted's not wasted time
So stay 'til the morning, stay for a while
I just wanna lay here and fall into midnight
And fall right into you
And fall right into you
Like a rock, I was set in my ways
Always thought I was too far from grace, yeah
I was numb before but now I feel
Any problem, we'll figure it out
Any love lost, we'll bring back around
Any broken heart, we'll make it heal
When I feel like nothing's gonna hold me down
Hold me down, you do
Used to be scared of falling, 'til you came around
Came around
Now I just wanna stay here and fall into midnight
Want nobody else now, only you feel right
Time enjoyed wasted's not wasted time
So stay 'til the morning, stay for a while
I just wanna lay here and fall into midnight
And fall right into you
And fall right into you
And fall right into you
Yeah, when I feel like nothing's gonna hold me down
Hold me down, you do
Used to be scared of falling, 'til you came around
Came around
Now I just wanna stay here and fall into midnight
Want nobody else now, only you feel right
Time enjoyed wasted's not wasted time
So stay 'til the morning, stay for a while
I just wanna lay here and fall into midnight
And fall right into you
The lyrics to ALESSO's song "Midnight" are about the transformation that can happen in a person's life when they find love. The singer describes feeling lost and searching for love in all the wrong places before finding the person they were meant to be with. They also admit to feeling unworthy of the love they receive but are grateful for it because it has helped them to conquer their doubts and fears. The chorus expresses the desire to stay in the moment and enjoy the time with the one they love, even if it means staying up late into the night. The lines "Time enjoyed wasted's not wasted time" and "Want nobody else now, only you feel right" further emphasize the idea of being present in the moment and not taking it for granted.
One interesting fact about "Midnight" is that it features the vocals of Australian singer Liam Payne, who is known for being a former member of the boy band One Direction. The song was released in 2020 and quickly became a hit, reaching the top 10 on several dance and electronic charts around the world. The music video for the song features the two singers on a romantic road trip and has been viewed millions of times on YouTube. Another interesting fact is that ALESSO is a Swedish DJ who has collaborated with various artists over the years, including Calvin Harris and Tove Lo.
