Somewhere After Midnight

about

"Somewhere After Midnight" is a melancholic and introspective song that reflects on the emotions and struggles of being alone. The lyrics paint a picture of a person who is feeling trapped and isolated, with a "quiet rage" burning inside them. The song speaks to the feeling of being stuck in a place between the night and day, unable to move forward or find closure. The imagery of the moonlight and shadows adds a sense of mystery and intrigue to the song, as the narrator struggles to come to terms with their feelings and find a way out of the darkness. Despite the somber tone, the song also conveys a sense of resilience and determination, as the narrator refuses to give in to despair and remains "fearless" in the face of their struggles.
The final stanzas speaks about the feeling of emptiness and the need to let go of the past, the narrator chooses to move forward, refusing to cry and letting go of the past which is a sign of growth. This song is a reflection on the journey of self-discovery and the power of perseverance in the face of adversity.

lyrics

It’s pitch black
I’m ransacked
I breathe deep
Try to sleep

The moonlight
Burns bright
A quiet rage
In this cage

I’m somewhere after midnight
Between the night and day
It’s somewhere after midnight
And you just fade to grey

It’s too late
To backdate
In darkness
I’m fearless

I’m somewhere after midnight
Between the night and day
It’s somewhere after midnight
You just fade to grey
Hid among the shadows
Your twilight’s secrets lurk
It’s somewhere after midnight
And I’m still in the dark

I keep it out
Let it sail away
This empty space
Is here to stay

In this cold place
I won’t cry
This old pride
Won’t die

I’m somewhere after midnight
Between the night and day
It’s somewhere after midnight
And you just fade to grey
Hid among the shadows
Your twilight’s secrets lurk
It’s somewhere after midnight
And I’m still in the dark

And I’m still in the dark
I’m still in the dark
I’m still in the dark
