midnight
Valleyheart Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Out on the highway going nowhere at all sure hope I find you, or some trace of home
Dives into darkness and I'll keep carrying this cross join all the hopeless
And fight through that fog, just fight through the fog
Go through the motions and boy you'll make it all right
Just keep your head up and don't fear the night
'Cause it's all a phase now
All your random tattoos of hope you might be lonely but you're not alone
You're not alone

'Cause there are no strangers here
We all have our favorite fears
So don't play pretend living in the light

We all have our own midnight

You say you love me but I swear you're making it worse
Go count your blessings and I'll count this curse
'Cause it's all a season
Everybody has their dark days don't play pretentious
'Cause we are the same, we are the same
'Cause there are no strangers here
We all have our favorite fears




So don't you play pretend living in that light
We all have our own midnight

Overall Meaning

In the song Midnight, Valleyheart discusses the concept of being lost or feeling lost, while navigating the often daunting highways of life. The lyrics suggest that the singer of the song is on a journey or a trip, with no particular destination, hoping to find something or someone that will help provide a sense of comfort or hope. However, the path taken leads the singer into darkness, and the journey is not an easy one.


The song’s chorus encourages the singer to keep fighting, keep moving and pushing through the “fog” or the difficulties, to keep their head up and to not be afraid of the night. The singer is also reminded that they are not alone, despite any tattoos of hope that they may have obtained. The verse continues to tell the listener that everyone has their own fears and their own “midnight” or dark moments. Therefore, they should not pretend to live in the light and instead come to terms with their own darkness.


The song offers a sense of hope to listeners, letting them know that they are not alone on their journey. The lyrics seek to empower those who are feeling lost or broken with the knowledge that it is okay to go through a rough patch, and that they should take the time to acknowledge their own fears and darkness, rather than pretend to live in the light.

Beautiful song. Definitely my favorite of what I'd heard so far. These guys got that "sound". The sound that overwhelms you in your thoughts and touches your soul in a way that only makes sense to yourself.
