Midnight
Room8 Lyrics

The lyrics to Room8's song "Midnight" are romantic and haunting at the same time. The verses express the singer's feelings towards someone who they seem to be deeply in love with but can no longer feel a connection to. The opening lines, "In my head, you dance like curtains in the wind", depict a dreamlike quality to the relationship, where the subject dances gracefully, like curtains blowing with the wind. However, in reality, there seems to be a growing distance between them as the singer notes, "You're my burden, I can't feel your heart, I've been gone". The repetition of "I've been gone" indicates that perhaps it is the singer who has emotionally checked out of the relationship.

The next stanza offers an insight into the singer's emotions, as they lament that their partner won't ever know how they're feeling, no matter how much they wish to communicate their sadness, "You won't hear, you won't know, you won't ever know". However, the refrain, "Harden your heart, it was falling from the start, though I tried, I was always dead inside," suggests that both parties may have contributed to the failed relationship. The "I was always dead inside" line implies that perhaps the singer was unable to open themselves emotionally to their partner or anyone else for that matter.

Overall, the song "Midnight" is a powerful meditation on love, loss, and missed connections. It is emotional and probing and will resonate with anyone who has experienced heartbreak.
