Double Blank
Midnight Choir Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But there's no way I'm turning back
The message is clear, the feeling's gone
The fuses, switched off
We been waiting for our ship for so long it makes no sense
Every reason to stay on seems to be gone
We've been craving side by side
The devil waiting to light a spark in our lives
A little blue will become us
You're sucking the life right out of me
But I say goodbye without bitterness
This madness and voids must come to an end
Before it consumes us
We been waiting for our ship for so long it makes no sense
Every reason to stay on seems to be gone
We've been craving side by side
For something new, for something good
The devil waiting to light a spark in our lives
A little blue will become us
There's no set up, there's no score
A double blank with no call
All we gained since we started up these grades ??
And whatever there was between us
We have reached the final end
Like a speedboat bursting through the darkest night
A little blue will become us
A little blue will become us
The song "Double Blank" by Midnight Choir speaks of a journey, possibly a physical as well as an emotional one. The singer is on a road that lies dark and black, but they refuse to turn back because the message is clear and the feeling is gone. They've been waiting for their ship for so long that it makes no sense and every reason to stay on seems to be gone. They crave something new and something good, but the devil is waiting to light a spark in their lives, and a little blue will become them. The singer is being drained of their life, but they say goodbye without bitterness because the madness and voids must come to an end before it consumes them. Toward the end of the song, the singer explains that there’s no set up, no score, that it's a double blank with no call. They've reached the final end with whatever there was between them, and a little blue will become them like a speedboat bursting through the darkest night.
The singer seems to be in a state of despair and is trying to find a new path in their life. Despite the darkness, they refuse to turn back, preferring to face the unknown ahead. The lyrics may also suggest that the singer is in a troubled relationship, one that drains them of their vitality. The line "A little blue will become us" could refer to a blue mood brought about by the relationship's toxicity. The song ends on a note of hope, suggesting that the singer has come to a turning point in their life and is ready to move on to something better.
