Midnight City
Techno Dance Rave Trance Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Waiting for a ride in the dark.
The night city grows,
Look and see her eyes, the glow.
Waiting in a car,
Waiting for a ride in the dark.
Drinking in the lounge,
Following the neon signs
Looking at a mutating skyline.
The city is my church (City is my church),
It wraps me in the sparkling twilight.
Waiting in a car,
Waiting for the right time.
Waiting in a car (Waiting in a car),
Waiting for the right time.
Waiting in a car,
Waiting for the right time.
Waiting in a car (Waiting in a car),
Waiting for the right time.
Waiting in a car (Waiting in a car),
Waiting for the right time.
The lyrics to Techno Dance Rave Trance's "Midnight City" describe a scene of waiting in a car, presumably in a big city, for a ride or the right moment to arrive. The night city is growing and the singer notices the beautiful glow in her eyes. As they drink in a lounge, they follow the neon signs and wait for a roar while looking at the city's mutating skyline. The city is described as being the singer's church and the sparkling twilight surrounds them.
The repetition of the phrase "Waiting in a car, waiting for the right time" throughout the song gives the impression of the singer being stuck in a limbo of sorts, waiting for something to happen. The city serves as a backdrop, a character in its own right, that the singer is in tune with spiritually. The use of imagery like neon signs, mutating skyline, and sparkling twilight convey a sense of movement and transformation that mirrors the singer's own experience.
