Midnight
Elan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Between the lines I get it
But really when you spoke to me last night
Don't think I don't know what's going on here
Be sure I didn't come to steal your life

If you leave before midnight
You standing in the bright lights
Don't be afraid, don't be afraid to come back to me
If you leave before midnight
You standing in the back lights,
Don't be afraid, yeah… don't be afraid to come back to me, yeah…

In disguise, I'll come to you
Darling tonight, you will walk outside your door
Don't be surprised, if I told you
I'm not as strong as you at all

If you leave before midnight
You standing in the bright lights
Don't be afraid, don't be afraid to come back to me
If you leave before midnight
You standing in the bright lights
Don't be afraid, yeah… don't be afraid to come back to me

Cause no ones gonna know,
If you stay or if you go
If you do or if you don't
At least you won't be alone, you won't be alone
No ones gonna go know
If you stay or if you go
If you do or if you don't
At least you won't be alone, won't be alone

If you leave before midnight
You standing in the bright lights
Don't be afraid, don't be afraid to come to back to me
If you leave before midnight




You standing in the bright lights
don't be afraid, hey... don't be afraid to come back to me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Elan's song "Midnight" are full of uncertainty, anxiety, and fear. The song seems to be about a difficult relationship with someone who is in pain or struggling with something. The first verse suggests that the singer understands what the other person is going through, but they don't want to take advantage of the situation. They want the other person to know that they are there to support them, not to exploit them. The second verse talks about the singer's own vulnerabilities and weaknesses. They want to reach out to the other person, but they are afraid of being rejected or hurt.


The chorus of the song is a plea for the other person to come back to the singer. The repetition of "if you leave before midnight" creates a sense of urgency and impending separation. The bright lights and back lights suggest that the other person is leaving a party or social gathering, and the singer is afraid that they will be lost in the crowd. The repetition of "don't be afraid" suggests that the singer knows the other person is scared, and they want to reassure them that they will be safe and accepted if they come back.


The bridge of the song suggests that the other person is struggling with indecision and uncertainty. They don't know whether to stay or go, but they don't want to be alone. The repetition of "no one's gonna know" creates a sense of secrecy and intimacy. The singer is asking the other person to trust them and to share their fears and doubts.


Overall, "Midnight" is a song about the complexities of human relationships. It explores themes of vulnerability, fear, and acceptance. The song suggests that it's okay to be uncertain and afraid, and that sometimes the only way to overcome our fears is to reach out to others.

Ella
...

Estoy anonadada!
...

Ella canta este rolón con el que paseaba con una chela antes de ir a cinepolis a encontrarme con los populares de la prepa... OMG.

... Llegué aquí por Servicio al Cliente y ahora estoy im-pac-ta-da porque considero que mi admiración hacia ella se multiplicó por 1000X.

... Te amo Elan.

...

Uff... Bueno. Sale bye. ✌🏻💞

Para aquellos que se lamentan que a Elan no se le reconoció como merecía: en Australia fue un hit instantáneo en 2003, y sigue siendo hasta la fecha. En México estuvo 10 semanas consecutivas en el puesto número 1 en Airplay. En Canadá es una artista reconocida como pocas.

Elan es una artista descomunal, no busca fama o reconocimiento, es fiel al arte.

@gabyguerra7112

Pero el verdadero arte no es instantáneo ni de semanas... Simplemente no pego y punto ...

@musikasi5892

@Gaby Guerra el verdadero arte no es para las masas, así de sencillo... No es pegar o no...

@gracer4795

@Gaby Guerra Te hace falta saber de música, aqui no se trata de pegar o no

@galyb7966

con que canciones? Yo la verdad no la conozco
