A Second to Midnight
Kylie Minogue Lyrics

Tick, tick, tock
The sound of the clock emphasizes the idea of the unstoppable passing of time.

Remember back in 99'? Oh, I
The singer recalls a happy moment from the past, a time of freedom and joy.

We danced like maniacs all night, oh, I
The singer is showing how they let loose and had a great time enjoying each other's company.

Now the world is turning faster with time
The world is evolving quickly with time, as society becomes more technologically advanced and fast-paced.

And I'm slowly going out of my mind
The singer is losing their grip on reality and is becoming mentally overwhelmed by the fast-paced world around them.

Yeah, I, I think we're the same
The singer feels a connection to someone else, someone who may also be struggling with the same issues and experiences the same difficulties.

And oh-oh, where do we go, oh? I gotta know, show me your page
The singer is asking someone else to reveal themselves and to offer a glimpse of who they really are on the inside.

'Cause the clock keeps ticking the tock I ain't gonna stop, no how no way
Despite the inevitability of time moving forward, the singer is determined to keep going and to never give up.

I'm chasing after midnight
The phrase expresses the idea of pursuing something that may be impossible to catch or to achieve.

Show me the way to your heart
The singer is asking for guidance and direction in how to navigate their path in life and how to find love and happiness.

Ready for the start of my real life
The singer is longing for change and is ready to begin living their life to the fullest.

To shine like a light in the dark
The phrase expresses the idea of inspiring and uplifting others through one's actions and accomplishments, even in difficult times.

Been waiting for this moment to work right for you
The singer has been holding out for the right opportunity to make a meaningful difference in their life and to achieve their dreams.

I'm done hesitating
The singer is finished with second-guessing themselves and is ready to move forward boldly without fear or doubt.

Oh yeah, only got a second to midnight
The phrase emphasizes the fleeting nature of time and how one must make their dreams a reality before it's too late.

I wonder if you question why, oh, I
The singer is wondering if the other person feels the same way they do, or if they are questioning the purpose of life and existence.

We left our fantasy behind, oh why? (Oh why?)
The singer is lamenting the lost sense of imagination and wonder from their childhood and the difficulties that come with maturing into adulthood.

So love, run Freedom Go on Get some (oh, get some) Dig (dig), deep (deep) Let (let), go (go) Oh (oh), oh (oh) oh Yeah
The phrase expresses the idea of breaking free from constraints and pursuing one's desires with energy and intensity.
