midnight
M. Craft Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Waiting in the car
Waiting for the ride in the dark
At night the city grows
Look at the horizon glow

Waiting in the car
Waiting for the ride in the dark
Drinking in the lounge
Following the neon signs

Waiting for a word
Looking at the milky skyline
The city is my church
It wraps me in its blinding twilight

Waiting in the car
Waiting for the ride in the dark
Waiting in the car
Waiting for the ride in the dark
Waiting in the car
Waiting for the ride in the dark
Waiting in the car
Waiting for the ride in the dark




Waiting in the car
Waiting for the ride in the dark

Overall Meaning

The song "Midnight" by M. Craft talks about waiting in the car at night, observing the city's growth and the milky skyline. The repetition of "waiting for the ride in the dark" creates a sense of anticipation melded with uncertainty, a mix of emotions that encapsulates city life in the dead of night. When the lyrics talk about the city being the singer's "church" and wrapping him in its "blinding twilight," it could suggest that the city is cathartic in a way, and that the singer finds comfort in the bright lights and city sounds. The reference to "drinking in the lounge, following the neon signs" could imply that the singer is alone, waiting on someone or something, and simply passing the time by observing the happenings of the city's nightlife.


The overall lyrical content of "Midnight" evokes a sense of longing for something or someone, with the city's enigmatic aura serving as a backdrop for the singer's musings. The lyrics could be interpreted to mean that the dark city streets symbolize the uncertainty and potential for unexpected possibilities – in a way, like the darkness of the night sky, the city can feel vast and endless. Upon the horizon, the glow of the city lights could represent the hopes and dreams that can be achieved through the opportunities of the night.
