midnight
La Havas Lianne Lyrics

A long and lonely journey
The singer has been on a difficult and solitary path.

To my hideaway
The singer has a secret place of refuge.

And I know they'll try to turn me
Others will attempt to control or influence the singer's actions.

With the things that they say
The artist will be affected by the words of those around them.

But no one knows where I'll go
Despite others' attempts to steer them, the artist's destination is unknown.

When I walk away
The singer is leaving a situation behind.

So come now, hurry hurry
The singer is urging someone to join them on their journey.

Don't miss this train
The artist's journey will progress with or without others' participation.

Open up and let me get to you
The artist wants to connect on a deeper level with the person they are addressing.

Take you to another side
The artist hopes to expose the other person to a new perspective or way of life.

Come to my world (after midnight)
The singer's world is accessible only at certain times, and the other person must be willing to enter it.

We're getting lost in another time
The artist and the other person will enter a space that is separate from everyday reality.

Your hand in mine
The singer wants to experience the journey with someone else.

In my own world
The singer has a separate reality.

On my own time
The singer is operating according to their own schedule or pace.

Maybe that's why
The previous lines may explain why the artist's actions or thoughts seem unusual to others.

(I don't mind) People think I'm crazy Lately I'm (I'll be fine)
The artist is not concerned with others' perceptions of them and reassures themselves that they will be okay.

Living in midnight
The singer's reality or state of mind is tied to this specific time of day.

(Oh oh oh) And if you think I'm crazy Pay it no mind (Oh oh oh)
The singer repeats that they are unconcerned with others' opinions of them.

If you could see what I've seen You would dare to dream
The artist has experienced something that might inspire the other person to take risks and pursue their own desires.

Honey, if you care to join me Come meet the team
The artist wants the other person to be part of their journey and meet others who support their cause.

And you all could be my army
The artist envisions the people they encounter joining together and working towards a common goal.

There's no other way
The singer believes that their way of life is the only option.

You'll never know The places I go When I'm alone
The artist has private experiences that they do not share with others.

If only for a moment Only for a while
The singer is inviting the other person to share a brief experience with them.

Cause I belong to the unknown Hope to be alright
The singer is able to thrive in the unknown and hopes that the other person can too.

Just living in midnight
The singer is living in their separate reality.
