Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I said something
would you stay this time
I've tried a million things
and I still end up back this way

You're not here any more
You're not here any more

If I changed your mind
would you come back to me
I've tried a million things
and I still end up back this way

You're not here any more
You're not here any more

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Horsebeach's song "Midnight" seem to be a plea to a former lover. The singer seems to be admitting fault in the demise of their relationship and is asking if their partner would be willing to come back if they changed. The singer has tried many things to move on, but they can't seem to escape their feelings for this person. The repeated phrase "you're not here anymore" emphasizes the sense of loss and loneliness that the singer is feeling.

The song could be interpreted as a confession of regret, where the singer is admitting fault for the end of the relationship. They are willing to change in order to have their partner back, but it's unclear if their partner will be receptive to this change. The desperation in the lyrics is palpable and the repetition of certain phrases highlights the singer's obsessive thoughts around the relationship.
