Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All alone in the midnight, all alone in the midnight, I'm alone
All alone in the midnight, all alone in the midnight, I′m alone
All alone in the midnight, all alone in the midnight
Been dreaming 'bout this moment, now we here (Now we here)
Told 'em we would be on but they ain′t ever saw it
Friends came and went, disappeared (I know)
Where the hell were you when I was broke? (I was broke)
Six months a year, I′m on the road (On the road)
Lately, I'd just rather be alone ′cause I can't
Trust nobody, tell that chick I gotta go (Yeah)
No one I can trust, so I did it on my own, uh
I ain't sleeping, prolly be the reason that I′m on, aye
Homie taught me gotta go and get it ′til it's gone
′Cause I could die tomorrow, fuck it, music living on (Yeah)
Told my family I'm about to be huge
Hella weeks on the road but be back in a few
I do like triple everything they ask me to do
Haters mad when I′m back in the booth, so I'm back in the booth
Been dreaming ′bout this moment, now we here (Now we here)
Told 'em we would be on but they ain't ever saw it
Friends came and went, disappeared (Disappeared)
Ghost ′em all, cut ′em off, we don't really need ′em, like
Where the hell were you when I was broke? (I was broke)
Six months a year, I'm on the road (On the road)
Lately, I′d just rather be alone 'cause I can′t
Trust nobody, tell that chick I gotta go (Yeah)
All alone in the midnight, all alone in the midnight, I'm alone
All alone in the midnight, all alone in the midnight, I'm alone
All alone in the midnight, all alone in the midnight, I′m alone
All alone in the midnight, all alone in the midnight
Tourin′ states in a tour bus now
With some bands in my rotation, I keep moving, stayin' patient
This the life that I chose, Mama check my banks
Stay away from the comments, give a fuck ′bout what they think, aye
I'm doing twice the numbers than these artists signed
Even when I′m chillin', see I′m always on my grind
Take a flight for the night, had to get away
And they say I'm next to blow, finally got 'em on the wave, uh
Been dreaming ′bout this moment, now we here (Now we here)
Told ′em we would be on but they ain't ever saw it
Friends came and went, disappeared, aye, aye
Ghost ′em all, cut 'em off, we don′t really need 'em, like
Where the hell were you when I was broke? (I was broke)
Six months a year, I′m on the road (On the road)
Lately, I'd just rather be alone 'cause I can′t
Trust nobody, tell that chick I gotta go (Yeah)
All alone in the midnight, all alone in the midnight, I′m all alone
All alone in the midnight, all alone in the midnight, I'm all alone
All alone in the midnight, all alone in the midnight, I′m all alone
All alone in the midnight, all alone in the midnight
The song "MIDNIGHT" by Justin Stone is a powerful and introspective reflection on the artist's rise to success and the sacrifices he had to make to get there. The repeated refrain "all alone in the midnight" serves as a poignant metaphor for the isolation and loneliness that often accompany such a journey. The lyrics speak to an underlying sense of betrayal and estrangement from former friends and associates who didn't believe in the artist's potential, and who he has since distanced himself from.
In the verses, Justin reflects on his struggles and perseverance in the face of adversity. He acknowledges the hard work, dedication, and single-minded focus that it takes to make it in the music industry, and the sacrifices that come with it such as time away from loved ones. He also touches on themes of self-reliance and self-motivation, believing that no one else can be trusted to achieve his goals or understand what he's been through, so he must do it alone. The bridge and final refrain repeat the same message, driving home the sense of solitude and determination that underpin the song.
Overall, "MIDNIGHT" is a deeply personal and emotionally charged song that captures the intensity of the artist's journey towards success. It's a relatable message for anyone who's ever had to go through difficult times or overcome obstacles to pursue their dreams, and Justin Stone's raw honesty and vulnerability in the lyrics make it all the more impactful.
