Midnight
Cosmo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm just gonna sleep here,
on my hands and knees,
back on the mainland,
the grey reaching trees.

Am I just getting what I deserve?
God, it hurts.
And the shadows at the shows,
enormous and moving to the music.
I can imagine I
was at seven different places all at once.

The Coliseum or the Concert Hall, the city or the sea,
the bedroom or the ballroom, makes no difference to me,
it's all just a place to lose it.
One way or the other, you have to break through it.

And I still see you on that windowsill
my whole life, what a heavy drop to fill.
Was that just a place to lose it?
One way or the other, you have to break through it

And the shadows at the shows,
enormous and moving to the music.
I can imagine I
was at seven different places all at once.

The Coliseum or the Concert Hall, the city or the sea,
the bedroom or the ballroom, makes no difference to me,
it's all just a place to lose it.
One way or the other, you have to break through it.

And I still see you on that windowsill
my whole life, what a heavy drop to fill.
Was that just a place to lose it?
One way or the other, or the other, or the other, or the other, or the other, or the other, or the other, or the other, or the other!

The Coliseum or the Concert Hall, the city or the sea,
the bedroom or the ballroom, makes no difference to me,
it's all just a place to lose it.
One way or the other, you have to break through it.

The Coliseum or the Concert Hall, the city or the sea,
the bedroom or the ballroom, makes no difference to me,
it's all just a place to lose it.
One way or the other, you have to break through it.

The Coliseum or the Concert Hall, the city or the sea,
the bedroom or the ballroom, makes no difference to me,




it's all just a place to lose it.
One way or the other, you have to break through it.

Overall Meaning

The song starts with the singer mentioning that they have reached a point where they have given up and fallen to the ground, exhausted. They talk about being back on the mainland amidst dull and depressing surroundings. The singer wonders if the pain they are feeling is because they are getting what they deserve.


The song then moves to the 'shadows at the shows,' where the singer talks about being able to imagine being at different places at once, like the coliseum or the city. They say that the venue doesn't matter as long as it's a place to 'lose it' and break through the pain.


The lyrics return to the person the singer sees on the windowsill, someone who they have carried with them for their whole life. The singer asks themselves whether that person was just a place for them to lose it. The song then ends with a repetition of the chorus, emphasizing that the destination doesn't matter; the only goal is to break through it.

Lyrics:

I wanna say something 'bout you
I went to but I withdrew
I wanna make you bend like a bamboo
Can do but I cant choose you
Cant say what I wanted to say
If I did then I would have
Cause I wanna make a plan but it falls on you
Gotta wait till you do

Whats the deal though
We can make it real, like i feel, when I see you girl
I could make you feel as though
You don't wanna see me go

Cause we can’t hesitate
I wanna put it on a plate
Something 'bout your body baby
You could be my everything

I could wait a decade or two for you,
I had two plans and they don’t go through
One hand that I never can chew
and we can go to France and I cant ask you
Whats the deal though?
and I cant make you stand by me
but I can see a timeline where by we…

Maybe I was right in saying.
Night and Day and you can holla
You the topic me the scholar
We can be the one to make it happen
But for now I can imagine
I just wanna hold you once
Be the only one you want
I just wanna hold you once

Whats the deal though
We can make it real, like i feel, when I see you girl
I could make you feel as though
You don't wanna see me go

Cause we can’t hesitate
I wanna put it on a plate
Something 'bout your body baby
You could be my everything
