Midnight
Coldplay - www.SongsCloud.In Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In the darkness before the dawn
In the swirling of this storm
When I'm rolling with the punches and hope is gone
Leave a light, a light on

Millions of miles from home
In the swirling swimming on
When I'm rolling with the thunder but bleed from thorns
Leave a light, a light on
Leave a light, a light on

Leave a light, a light on
Leave a light, a light on

In the darkness before the dawn
In the darkness before the dawn




Leave a light, a light on
Leave a light, a light on

Overall Meaning

In Coldplay's song "Midnight," the lyrics are reminiscent of someone who is struggling to keep hope alive during a difficult time. The songwriter talks about being in the darkness before the dawn, meaning that they are in a difficult and challenging time in their life. The swirling storm represents the chaos and uncertainty that they are experiencing, with punches coming from every angle. Despite feeling hopeless, the songwriter asks for someone to leave a light on for them, which can be interpreted as a form of comfort and hope. This is likely to signify that they do not want to be left alone in their struggles and that having someone there to support them is crucial.


The lyrics also reference being millions of miles away from home, which can be interpreted as being physically or emotionally distant from a place of comfort and familiarity. In the swirling swimming on line, the use of 'swirling' and 'swimming' illustrates the confusion and uncertainty of the situation. Rolling with thunder and bleeding from thorns refers to being in the midst of a tumultuous and challenging time, with the pain and struggle being intense. Despite that, the songwriter still clings to the hope that someone will leave the light on for them.


Overall, Coldplay's "Midnight" speaks to the universal human experience of struggling through difficult times and seeking comfort. The lyrics convey a sense of vulnerability and a need for connection and support.

LYRICS

Fixing up a car to drive in it again
Searching for the water hoping for the rain
Up and up, up and up
Down upon the canvas, working meal to meal
Waiting for a chance to pick your orange field
Up and up, up and up

See a pearl form, a diamond in the rough
See a bird soaring high above the flood
It's in your blood, it's in your blood
Underneath the storm an umbrella is saying
"Sitting with the poison takes away the pain"
Up and up, up and up it's saying

We're gonna get it, get it together, I know
I'm gonna get it, get it together somehow
We're gonna get it, get it together and flower
Woah, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
We're gonna get it, get it together I know
We're gonna get it, get it together and flow
I'm gonna get it, get it together and go
Up and up and up

Lying in the gutter, aiming for the moon
Trying to empty out the ocean with a spoon
Up and up, up and up
How come people suffer, how come people part?
How come people struggle, how come people break your heart?
Break your heart, oh-oh

Yes I want to grow, yes I want to feel
Yes I want to know, show me how to heal it up
Heal it up
See the forest there in every seed
Angels in the marble waiting to be freed
Just need love just need love
When the going is rough, saying

We're gonna get it, get it together, I know
I'm gonna get it, get it together somehow
We're gonna get it, get it together and flower
Woah, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
We're gonna get it, get it together I know
We're gonna get it, get it together and flow
I'm gonna get it, get it together and go

And you can say what is, or fight for it
Close your mind or take a risk
You can say it's mine and clench your fist
Or see each sunrise as a gift

We're gonna get it, get it together, I know
I'm gonna get it, get it together somehow
We're gonna get it, get it together and flower
Woah, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
We're gonna get it, get it together I know
We're gonna get it, get it together and flow
I'm gonna get it, get it together and go
Up and up and up

We're gonna get it, get it together, I know
I'm gonna get it, get it together somehow
We're gonna get it, get it together and flower
Woah, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
We're gonna get it, get it together I know
We're gonna get it, get it together and flow
I'm gonna get it, get it together and go
Up and up and up

Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh

Fixing up a car to drive in it again
When you're in pain
When you think you've had enough
Don't ever give up

Don't ever give up
