Midnight
Malene Markussen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Vers:
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.
And I know, I know, and I know that it's not a lie

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.

Overall Meaning

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.
