Morning breaks , into the room the night it takes Got to go to work I say , I'm waiting for the train im late Wonder if this time you'll stay Maybe just for one more day , the coffee in my cup is old.
The sun is going down and its cold

The lyrics of Afterlife Feat Angela Neve's song "Midnight" appear to be about a person who is reflecting on their routine and mundane life. The song starts with the singer talking about the time, and how it's almost half-past ten, which is nearly time for the singer to go to bed. The singer is reflecting on the day ahead and how it's still the same as every other day that they've experienced before. However, their thoughts are interrupted by a call from someone who is in town, and they agree to meet up for a glass of wine in the late hours of the night. The two of them reminisce about old times, and this becomes a "midnight distraction" for the singer.
The song then jumps to the next morning, where the singer has to go to work and catches the train. They wonder if the person they met up with the night before will stay for another day. The singer's coffee is old and the sun is going down, indicating that the day is coming to an end, and it's getting cold. The phrase "midnight distraction" implies that the singer's meeting with the other person was a temporary escape from the monotony of their life.
