Midnight Pain
After the Fall Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Breathe now
And rest your eyes
Sleep will come, and bring the night
Oh no

I dream of silver spoons
I dream of lying, next to you
I dream that when I, wake

That you'll be there lying next to me
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no

Beneath the covers
It feels like home
The nights get cold, when your all alone
Oh no

I dream of silver spoons
I dream of lying, next to you
I dream that when I, wake
That you'll be there lying next to me

And everything's okay
There's no more pennies to save
No more midnight pain

And everything's okay
There's no more pennies to save
No more midnight pain

And everything's okay
There's no more pennies to save
No more midnight pain

And everything's okay
There's no more pennies to save
No more midnight pain

And everything's okay
There's no more pennies to save
No more midnight pain

And everything's okay
There's no more pennies to save
No more midnight pain

And everything's okay

There's no more pennies to save
No more midnight pain

Overall Meaning

The song Midnight Pain by After the Fall is a powerful and emotional portrayal of a person's longing for love and comfort in the midst of pain and uncertainty. The opening lines urge the listener to take a deep breath and rest their eyes, as sleep will eventually come and bring the comfort that is desperately being sought. However, the singer's dreams are filled with a yearning for a deeper connection with a loved one, symbolized by silver spoons and the desire to lie next to them. The 'Oh no' that is repeated throughout the song highlights the realization that these dreams are just that- dreams- and waking up to reality can be a harsh awakening.

The lyrics suggest that finding warmth and safety in the arms of a loved one is a sanctuary from the cold and lonely nights that are all too common. The repetition of the line 'And everything's okay' indicate that the singer is seeking solace and peace from the pain and struggles of life, and that the presence of love can create a stable foundation to weather any storm. The final lines demonstrate a hope that this peace and contentment will endure, with no more pennies to save and no more midnight pain.

Breathe now
Take a deep breath and relax

And rest your eyes
Close your eyes and rest

Sleep will come, and bring the night
You will fall asleep and night will come

Oh no
Expressing sadness or worry

I dream of silver spoons
I have dreams of luxury and excess

I dream of lying, next to you
I dream of being close and intimate with you

I dream that when I, wake
I hope that when I wake up

That you'll be there lying next to me
You will be there next to me when I wake up

Beneath the covers
Underneath the blankets

It feels like home
It feels cozy and familiar

The nights get cold, when your all alone
The nights are lonely and cold when you are alone
