Almost midnight
The Lost Crew Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
putting a mute on the traffic noice
caressing the air like a comforting hand when someone's crying
sharp eyes on the drunken boys
natures own police inspector
I can see it all on my traffic light projector
it will never be the same
as life will change
Almost midnight, I am lost in my thoughts
all this time,
thinking of you, and what we use to do
reflecting for hours cant sleep but im tired
I cant go on now,
Sharp eyes, and they understand
The first verse of The Lost Crew's song, Almost Midnight, describes the scene of a silent night bird making its way from a tree to a nearby rooftop, muting the noise from the traffic down below. Its wingbeats are described as being caressing of the air, silencing everything like a comforting hand would on someone crying. The second half of the verse talks about the sharp eyes of the bird being able to monitor the drunken boys. The bird is described as the "nature's own police inspector" which can see it all on its traffic light projector.
The lyrics of the chorus "screaming out your name, it will never be the same as life will change" is a representation of the restlessness and uncertainty of the singer's life. The second verse of the song represents the restlessness of the singer continuing to think about the person and what they used to do. The singer reflects on their relationship and the moments they shared. The lyrics depict the singer struggling to move on from the relationship with the person in question. The last two lines reflect that the sharp eyes mentioned in the first verse understand what the singer is going through.

Dampening the commotion of passing vehicles

Touching the atmosphere as though comforting someone in pain

Keen vision observing the inebriated young men
natures own police inspector
Analogous to a natural law enforcement officer
I can see it all on my traffic light projector
Observing everything with the aid of a traffic signal projector
screaming out your name,
Exclaiming your name loudly,
it will never be the same
Things cannot remain unchanged
as life will change
Different happenings in life lead to transformations
Almost midnight, I am lost in my thoughts
It is nearly midnight, and I am submerged in my reflections
all this time,
Throughout that entire time,
thinking of you, and what we use to do
Recalling the things that we did together and thinking of you
reflecting for hours cant sleep but I'm tired
Contemplating for extended periods while being exhausted and restless
I can't go on now,
I am not capable of continuing any further
Sharp eyes, and they understand
Discerning eyes that empathize and comprehend

Midnight club la veteran again
The cars with the lock symbols can be won from a very range inducing tournament. You can’t win the skyline but you can win an evo 8 I believe from a pink slip in the hills.
