Midnight City
YONAS 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, they glow
Waiting in a car
Waiting for a ride in the dark
Drinking in the lounge
Waiting for a roar
Looking at the mutating skyline
The city is my church (city is my church)
It wraps me in the sparkling twilight
Waiting in a car
Waiting for a ride in the dark
Waiting in a car
Waiting for the right time
Waiting in a car
Waiting for the right time
Waiting in a car
Waiting for the right time
Waiting in a car
Waiting for the right time
Waiting in a car
Waiting for the right time
Waiting in a car
Waiting for the right time
"Midnight City" by YONAS is a song that tells the story of someone waiting for a ride in the dark city. The song suggests that the city is alive and full of beauty, and the singer is incredibly captivated by it. The lyrics reveal a sense of anticipation as well, as the singer waits for the right time.
The city, according to the singer, is like a church that has the power to wrap him up in a sparkling, mystical world that he cannot resist. The neon signs, the glowing eyes of the city, and the mutating skyline create a captivating and tantalizing atmosphere that captures the singer's imagination. The song is somewhat bittersweet, as the singer is both exhilarated and slightly melancholic, eager to rush into the city yet hesitant to do so, wanting to seize the moment yet dreading the unknown.
