Midnights Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
it feels like I'm up in the sky
I can't refused, I adore you, I was high
you push me but I won't let you in
I've been hanging to your gaze
It's just a reflection, it's such a mess
you didn't realize, a lil surprise
I'm drowning inside my mind
not gonna fall for you again
you treat me sweet, that I like
you let me go slowly
It feels like I was on a ride
a rollercoaster, it took a long time to return
oh rollercoaster , aaaaaaa
oh rollercoaster I'm down
oh rollercoaster.... i'm down..
oh rollercoaster.... i'm down..
oh rollercoaster.... i'm down..
oh rollercoaster.... i'm down..
The lyrics to Midnight's song "Rollercoaster" depict a tumultuous and emotional relationship. The opening lines suggest that the singer was initially drawn to their partner's sweetness and the feeling of being lifted up. However, they also acknowledge being hesitant about fully embracing the person and their influence in their life.
The next few lines show the singer becoming entangled in their partner's gaze, as if captivated by their presence. However, they begin to realize that their perception of the relationship is distorted, as it is merely a reflection of their own desires and not a genuine connection. There is a hint of disappointment in the realization that their partner didn't fully comprehend the impact they had on the singer's emotions.
The following verse expresses a sense of internal struggle and confusion. The singer feels overwhelmed by their own thoughts and emotions, but is determined not to succumb to their partner's influence again. They appreciate the sweetness in the way their partner treats them, but now they want to be released slowly, indicating a desire for a gradual separation from the relationship.
The chorus uses the metaphor of a rollercoaster to describe the ups and downs of the relationship. It feels like a wild ride that takes a long time to return to stability. The repeated phrase "oh rollercoaster, I'm down" reflects the emotional low point the singer has reached. They have come to a realization that this relationship is causing them more pain than joy, and they are feeling down and drained as a result.
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of conflict and ambivalence towards a relationship that initially seemed exciting and uplifting. The singer's journey on this rollercoaster ride has brought them to a point of emotional exhaustion, prompting them to acknowledge that it's time to let go and find stability away from the turbulence they've experienced.
