Midnight Man
Sandra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Talkin' bout my life
Changes
They're gonna take my side
Revelation
In a station
Is followin' a man
I'm in torment
Hear your voice again
I say man
You're my midnight man
Can't escape your voice on the radio
I try it but i can't
For i need you badly
Man
You're my midnight man
Hold me in your spider web
Midnight man
Rages
Tearin' up my mind
Pages
I'm skimmin' to kill time
Far 'till morning
Hear a warning
From the borderline
An' right in this moment
I'm in torment
Hear your voice again
I say man
You're my midnight man
Can't escape your voice on the radio
I try it but i can't
For i need you badly
Man
You're my midnight man
Hold me in your spider web
Midnight man
The lyrics to Sandra's song Midnight Man appear to describe a person who is going through some changes or struggles in their life. The lines "Strangers talking about my life, changes, they're gonna take my side" suggest that the person is experiencing some external pressure and scrutiny from others about the changes they are making. The "Revelation" in the station could be seen as a metaphor for a moment of clarity or breakthrough for the person. They are following a man who may represent a guiding force in their life or perhaps represents the person they aspire to be. In this moment of torment, the person hears a voice that they seem to find comforting or reassuring. The voice may belong to the "midnight man" who is referenced throughout the song.

I'm in torment
I am upset
Hear your voice again
Hearing your voice another time
I say man
I declare, sir
You're my midnight man
You are my companion during the nighttime
Can't escape your voice on the radio
Unable to avoid your voice coming from the radio
I try it but i can't
I attempt it but it is impossible
For i need you badly
Because I require you greatly
Hold me in your spider web
Capture me in your complex trap
Rages
Violent emotions
Tearin' up my mind
Damaging my thoughts

I'm skimmin' to kill time
I am rapidly reading to pass the time
Far 'till morning
Until morning, far away
Hear a warning
Hear a notification of danger
From the borderline
From the edge of something
Midnight man
A companion during the nighttime

50's music had its stile.
60's sertanty made its mark.
70's something interesting to grow up to.
80's had sandra ,Michael Jackson Madonna so many more.
90's got spice girls while waiting for some thing' to happen at leat there was Rock.

2020 still waiting.
2023 dreaming of Sandra.
