Midnight Blues
Gary Moore [Www.RockDL.Net] Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's the darkest hour
of the darkest night.
It's a million miles
from the morning light.
Can't get no sleep.
Don't know what to do.
I've got those midnight blues.
When the shadows fall,
I feel the night closing in.
There must be some reason
for this mood I'm getting in.
Can't get no sleep.
Don't know what to do.
I've got those midnight blues.
Every evening after sundown,
as the light begins to fade.
I feel so low, but I just don't know
why these blues won't go away.
Every evening after sundown,
as the light begins to fade.
I feel so low, but I just don't know
why these blues won't go away.
It's the darkest hour
of the darkest night.
It's a million miles
to the morning light.
Can't get no sleep.
Don't know what to do.
I've got those midnight blues.
I've got those midnight blues.




I've got those midnight blues.
I've got those midnight blues.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Gary Moore's song Midnight Blues depict a feeling of loneliness and despair that the singer experiences every night. The first verse sets the scene describing how it's the darkest hour of the night and the singer is unable to sleep. The second verse expresses a feeling of being trapped as the night seems to close in on him, which makes him increasingly despondent. He pleads for help, stating that he doesn't know what to do to cope with his emotional turmoil.


The chorus repeats "I've got those midnight blues" as if it is a mantra that drives home the point that this is a recurring issue for the singer. It's a simple but powerful line that perfectly summarizes the song's theme.


Overall, the song is about feeling down and unable to shake off a sense of hopelessness. The lyrics are full of vivid imagery and metaphors that create a somber atmosphere, perfectly complemented by the bluesy guitar and Moore's soulful voice.


Line by Line Meaning

It's the darkest hour
I am in the deepest, most difficult part of my struggles


of the darkest night.
This is happening in the most unfavorable conditions possible


It's a million miles
I feel an immense distance from the life I want and the person I want to be


from the morning light.
I cannot envision a brighter future or better tomorrow


Can't get no sleep.
I am restless and cannot find peace or rest


Don't know what to do.
I am lost and without a solution to my problems


I've got those midnight blues.
I am feeling sad and lonely in the dark of night


When the shadows fall,
As soon as darkness arrives and light begins to fade


I feel the night closing in.
I sense the darkness of my problems and struggles getting closer and more overwhelming


There must be some reason
I am searching for an explanation or meaning behind these emotions


for this mood I'm getting in.
I am wondering why I am feeling this way and what caused it


Every evening after sundown,
When night falls at the end of each day


as the light begins to fade.
As the last rays of light disappear and darkness takes over


I feel so low, but I just don't know
I have a deep sense of sadness but I cannot identify why


why these blues won't go away.
I feel trapped in my sadness and cannot break free from it


It's the darkest hour
I am still in the worst and most challenging part of my struggles


of the darkest night.
The conditions are still as unfavorable as before


I've got those midnight blues.
I am still feeling sad and lonely in the dark of night


I've got those midnight blues.
My emotions and struggles are still causing me to feel sad and lonely


I've got those midnight blues.
I am still wrestling with these difficult emotions and problems


I've got those midnight blues.
My struggles and sadness have not yet been resolved

It's the darkest hour
of the darkest night.
It's a million miles
from the morning light.
Can't get no sleep.
Don't know what to do.
I've got those midnight blues.
When the shadows fall,
I feel the night closing in.
There must be some reason
for this mood I'm getting in.
Can't get no sleep.
Don't know what to do.
I've got those midnight blues.
Every evening after sundown,
as the light begins to fade.
I feel so low, but I just don't know
why these blues won't go away.
Every evening after sundown,

I feel so low, but I just don't know
why these blues won't go away.
It's the darkest hour
of the darkest night.
It's a million miles
to the morning light.
Can't get no sleep.
Don't know what to do.
I've got those midnight blues.
I've got those midnight blues.
I've got those midnight blues.
I've got those midnight blues.

I was listening this tonight in a bus, it was just me and the driver, and it was raining outside.... I almost didn't get off. It was beautiful moment, rain wasn't strong, lights in the bus were mild, sky became clear with all stars, and i wish that song and the ride could last longer.

@jamuga60

That's a really cool story...........................thanks.

Първият ми подарен диск...преди около 30 години. Бях дете, но силно ме впечатли. След толкова години все още ми е любим, а и по- добре го разбирам. Сигурно смешно звучи ,но това е песен от детството ми.

@LMCSM

This song is phenomenal. I wish I had someone to share music like this with, sitting here desperately lonely, this song transports me away to a place where I am not alone, I FEEL every part of it, it makes me feel like everything isn't so bad. The power of great music knows no bounds ❤
