Midnight
Malene Markussen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Midnight,
I need somebody to hold
The danger,
Might get out of control
I can see, I can see, I can see the dark come alive.
Pre:
It might be best to go home all alone.
'cause the risk is high under the full moon.
Ref:
I miss you,
So I need the night to be through
Tough I miss you
Don't need to be loved by you.
Won't get lost, lost again
Lost before the break of day.
Though I miss you,
don't need to be loved by you.
Vers 2:
Even if you appear near the light.
I won't be all too easy to find
But I can see, I can see, I can see how It would be fun.
Letting go, letting go now that the sun is gone.
Pre:
It might be best to go home all alone.
'cause the risk is high under the full moon.
Ref:
I miss you,
So I need the night to be through
Tough I miss you
Don't need to be loved by you.
Bridge:
By you, By You, I will not break, Don't need to be
Loved, by you, by you. When the night falls
Ref:
I miss you,
So I need the night to be through
Tough I miss you
Don't need to be loved by you.
Won't get lost, lost again
Lost Before the break of day.
Though I miss you,
don't need to be loved by you.
The lyrics of Malene Markussen's song "Midnight" captures the essence of longing and fear of the dark. The song begins with the singer confessing that they need somebody to hold onto because the danger around them is getting out of control. They see the darkness coming alive and know that it's not a lie. The pre-chorus emphasizes the risk of being alone under the full moon and how it might be best to go home alone. In the chorus, the singer misses someone but does not need to be loved by them. They do not want to get lost again before the break of day. The second verse adds another layer to the song, implying that even if that special someone appears near the light, it would not be easy to find them. They acknowledge that it would be fun to let go now that the sun is gone.
The bridge holds a key to the song's meaning when the singer declares that they will not break by the person they miss. Even though they miss them, they do not need to be loved by them. The song's message is liberating, and it seems that the singer has found a way to navigate the fear of the night and the longing for someone without losing themselves in the process. The song's mood is melancholic, yet there is a sense of resilience and control in the lyrics that adds depth to the song.
Line by Line Meaning
Midnight,
It's late at night
I need somebody to hold
I'm feeling lonely and want physical comfort
The danger,
The situation has potential risks
Might get out of control
Things could spiral and become chaotic
I can see, I can see, I can see the dark come alive.
It feels like the darkness is taking on a life of its own
And I know, I know, and I know that it's not a lie
I'm aware that this feeling is real
It might be best to go home all alone.
It's safer to be by myself
'cause the risk is high under the full moon.
The full moon can intensify emotional states and behavior
I miss you,
I'm longing for someone
So I need the night to be through
I want this night to end
Tough I miss you
Even though I'm missing you
Don't need to be loved by you.
I don't have to be in a romantic relationship with you
Won't get lost, lost again
I won't allow myself to get lost in my emotions again
Lost before the break of day.
I don't want to feel lost until morning
Even if you appear near the light.
If you happen to be around
I won't be all too easy to find
I'm intentionally avoiding getting caught up in a relationship with you
But I can see, I can see, I can see how It would be fun.
I understand the appeal of a relationship, despite my reservations
Letting go, letting go now that the sun is gone.
I'm allowing myself to be more carefree now that it's nighttime
By you, By You, I will not break, Don't need to be
I won't let being with you cause me to break
Loved, by you, by you. When the night falls
I don't need your love, especially at night
Won't get lost, lost again
I won't allow myself to get lost in my emotions again
Lost Before the break of day.
I don't want to feel lost until morning
Though I miss you,
Despite missing you
Don't need to be loved by you.
I don't have to be in a romantic relationship with you
