Midnight
S.F. Johnson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The town was red and painted right
It's all happening in the neighbourhood
Girls are pretty and feeling good
Wait for the call keep on the down-low
The wasters crawl out of the cracks below
When there's something that you need to know
You watch it come and you watch it go
Were you too stoned to get it?
Did you want to forget about her?
Were you too stoned to get it?
Did you want to forget it my love
I know this feeling is crawling upon you
When you feel it, I just want to call it in, yet
I know this feeling is crawling upon you
When you feel it I just want to call it in
When its almost like Hollywood
Rags to riches and a lust for life
Dance around in the pretty lights
Hail the queen and saviour of the night
All in their vision 'til the soul dies
They don't deserve it but they still try
Never tell it, don't cry, keep the chin up, keep the chin up
Were you too stoned to get it?
Did you want to forget about her?
Were you too stoned to get it?
Did you want to forget it my love
I know this feeling is crawling upon you
When you feel it, I just want to call it in, yet
I know this feeling is crawling upon you
When you feel it I just want it all to end
But I don't feel like dancing
I don't feel like dancing
I don't feel like dancing
I just don't feel like dancing
The lyrics to "Midnight" by S.F. Johnson depict a scene in a lively town that comes to life at night. The singer describes the town as being "painted right" and "all happening in the neighborhood." There are girls who are "pretty and feeling good" and it appears that there is some sort of underground activity taking place as the singer mentions the "wait for the call on the down-low" and the "wasters crawl out of the cracks below." The singer seems to be observing all of this from a distance, perhaps feeling slightly detached from the energy and excitement around them.
The repeated question, "Were you too stoned to get it?" suggests that there may be some confusion or fuzziness in the singer's mind. The lines "Did you want to forget about her?" and "Did you want to forget it my love" could be interpreted as the singer addressing someone who is struggling to move on from a past relationship or situation. The line "I just want it all to end" further reinforces the idea that the singer is feeling overwhelmed and wants to escape from their current reality.
The final lines "But I don't feel like dancing, I don't feel like dancing, I just don't feel like dancing" tie the song together, revealing the singer's reluctance to fully participate in the energetic scene around them. It could be that the singer is feeling disconnected from the excitement and energy of the town, or that they are simply experiencing a moment of introspection and don't feel like engaging with others at that particular moment.
