Midnight
KAYAM Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

In the darkest night, rolling clouds below the sky
Let alone let go
Will you ever let me go
Behind hills of gold, behind the feelings never told
Let alone let go
Will you ever let me go

Watching as we fall at midnight

Watching as we fall through light

Now I can say I know it's right, to walk alone I can no longer fight
For something that's out of sight
The withering sound of my sleep's got my mind travelling too deep
It comes it goes, steadily it flows, it knows, it shows,
All from which you wanted to grow
And now the figures slip through the door, in features that I adore
In colours of reds and blues and all of
Your different hues and tell me darling
Is there anything I could do but to walk on, figure my truth
Heal all the pain that we've both been through
The colours remain and it's all I can
See, is this the way it was meant to be

In the darkest night, rolling clouds below the sky
Let alone let go
Will you ever let me go
Behind hills of gold, behind the feelings never told
Let alone let go
Will you ever let me go

Watching as we fall at midnight
Watching as we fall through light

Overall Meaning

The song "Midnight" by KAYAM talks about the struggle of letting go of something that is no longer there. The lyrics paint a picture of darkness and uncertainty, both in the sky and within the singer's mind. The first verse describes a scene of dark clouds rolling in the night sky, providing a metaphor for the looming pain and uncertainty in the singer's life. The repetition of the question "Will you ever let me go" indicates a sense of entrapment or a difficulty in moving on from a past hurt.

The second verse shifts the metaphor to "hills of gold" and "feelings never told," suggesting that the singer is hiding a part of themselves or their emotions. The chorus repeats the imagery of falling, both at midnight and through light, which could represent both the descent into sadness and an escape from it.

The lyrics then turn towards acceptance, with the singer acknowledging that they "can no longer fight for something that's out of sight." The mention of "the withering sound of my sleep" suggests that the singer has been struggling with insomnia or anxiety. However, there is a sense of hope as well, as the singer visualizes figures in their minds that they adore, with colors of "reds and blues and all of your different hues." In the final verse, the singer asks if there's anything they can do to repair the relationship, but then realizes that they must "figure my truth" and heal from the pain.

Overall, "Midnight" is a powerful portrayal of the emotions surrounding the end of a relationship and the attempt to find closure and move on.
