Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Trance Atlantic Air Waves's song "Twelve After Midnight" seem to be describing a night out in the city, specifically downtown where something is happening that the singer finds exciting. The references to "crazy bass" and "the music of the rave" suggest that the event is likely a dance party, and the lyrics encourage the listener to let go and fully immerse themselves in the music.

The repeated phrase "the music is yourself" appears to be a message about self-expression and finding oneself through dance and music. The idea that the music is "in the sound of stars" also suggests a cosmic, spiritual dimension to the experience of losing oneself in the music. Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of excitement and liberation in the context of a dance party, with a deeper message about the connection between music and our inner selves.
