Midnight City
M83 (Christian Strobe Remix) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Waiting for a ride in the dark
The night city grows
Look at the horizon glow
Waiting in a car
Waiting for a ride in the dark
Drinking in the lights
Waiting for a word
Looking at the milky skyline
The city is my church
It wraps me in its blinding twilight
Waiting in a car
Waiting for the right time
Waiting in a car
Waiting for the right time
Waiting in a car
Waiting for the right time
Waiting in a car
Waiting for the right time
Waiting in a car
Waiting for a ride in the dark
The lyrics of Midnight City are about waiting, yearning, and being entranced by the city. The singer is alone, waiting for something in the night city, which is depicted as a spiritual space. The first verse finds them waiting in a car, observing the city as it grows and looking at the horizon glow. The city is alive and growing, and it offers both comfort and danger to the singer.
The second verse depicts the singer again waiting in a car, but now they are drinking in the lights and following the neon signs. The city becomes a sensual experience that offers emotions and thrills. The singer is waiting for a word, something that will give them direction amidst the endless possibilities that the city offers.
The chorus repeats that the singer is waiting in a car, but this time they are waiting for the right time. The city is like a church to them, wrapping them in a blinding twilight. The song's message is about the singer's yearning for something, yet at the same time, it also depicts the city as a space of possibilities and fulfillment.
Line by Line Meaning
Waiting in a car
Sitting in a car, resting
Waiting for a ride in the dark
Expecting someone or something, in the absence of light
The night city grows
The darkness of the city expands and surrounds
Look at the horizon glow
Observe the brightness of the horizon
Drinking in the lights
Being captured by the gleam of the lights
Following the neon signs
Tracing the path shown by the bright neon signs
Waiting for a word
Eagerly anticipating some communication
Looking at the milky skyline
Observing the pale, hazy skyline
The city is my church
The city is a place of worship for me
It wraps me in its blinding twilight
It envelops me in its dazzle and obscurity
Waiting for the right time
Holding back for the appropriate moment
Waiting for a ride in the dark
Expecting someone or something, in the absence of light
