In the middle of the night
I Ve Got The Bullets Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wonder why I always go back
You don't look over your shoulder
Making me feel ten years older
I'm the girl you wanted so much
You say you need my tender touch
But by the time it gets close to midnight
You're leaving me empty inside
In the middle of the night
And every time you try to leave her
You no longer can deceive her
But by the time it gets close to midnight
You're leaving me empty inside
Always in the middle of the night
In the middle of the night
You go back home
So many stories, so many lies
But still I'm waiting for my lover to arrive
Always in the middle of the night
In the middle of the night
The lyrics of I Ve Got The Bullets' song In The Middle Of The Night talk about a toxic relationship where the singer is continuously being led on by their partner. The beginning of the song outlines the frustration that the singer feels, wondering why they always return to this person who only leads them in circles. The partner is described as never looking back or caring about the effects their actions have on the singer. The singer feels older due to the emotional turmoil that they have been put through by this person.
Moreover, the partner is shown to only require the singer's touch until it gets close to midnight when they leave the singer feeling empty inside. The song depicts the partner as being with other people and feeding the singer with stories and lies. Despite all of these, the singer is always waiting for their lover to arrive, even when they can't trust them.
In a nutshell, the song captures the essence of a troubled relationship where one person holds on while their partner continuously hurts them. It demonstrates the inability to break free from unhealthy dynamics.
