incubus
Midnight Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

i sleep with angels i sleep with people 'cause i'm invisible and wise
i feel you dreaming my heart's deceiving all your candles burn bright

and when i crawl upon your bed you're going to feel my love a touch too much incubus

the moon is bright dear i'll put you right here i'm only inches from your face
i'm right above you maybe i'll love you i'll give and just take
you think you're dreaming for the screaming well i cannot understand
i hold you tight you try to fight and then i'll slowly lose my mind
and then you wait pretend you hate that maybe i was just a dream
but still the guillotine right above you as you start to scream

incubus incubus incubus
and in the candlelight i'll just slip
under the little thing you're sleeping in
i don't want to hurt you but i must insist
i don't want to hurt you but i must insist
i kiss like this
i sleep with angels in the night
i hate with demons in my mind
i'm riding high you all the time




throwing hate in your mind
i know you've got nowhere to hide

Overall Meaning

The song "Incubus" by Midnight explores themes of sexual desire, vulnerability, and power. The singer sings about their ability to enter into the dreams of their lover, who is unaware of their presence. The lyrics highlight the contrast between their earthly desires and spiritual connections, as they "sleep with people" and "sleep with angels." Their emotional manipulation is evident as they "hold you tight you try to fight" and then "slowly lose [their] mind." The repeated invocation of the word "incubus" reinforces the dark and demonic nature of the singer's intentions.
