This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
All the things you hate I find fun
Things you wanna see are just done
I may regret if you're the right one
But I can't avoid the midnight run
I'll keep on going, I'll keep on going
Til I find the right one
I'll keep on growing, I'll keep on growing
Til I find myself a new gun
If we're meant to be together change the way you see the weather
Live for now, forget forever
We can still be in December
If we're meant to be together change the way you see the weather
Live for now, forget forever
On another midnight run, sniffin for trouble, unlucky for some
On another midnight run, I'll still be breathing come the morning sun
It's hurting my eyes, it's hurting my ears
I know, I know, I'm know there'll be tears
You're hurting inside, been hurting for years
I know, I know, I know there'll be tears
But it's never that clear, clear
All the things you said you don't like,
Were helping me get high as a kite
Someone promised me they wouldn't bite
I guess I'm someone different at night
I'll keep on going, I'll keep on going
Til I my heart says no
I'll keep on growing, I'll keep on growing
Til I find myself a new show
If we're meant to be together change the way you see the weather
Live for now, forget forever
We can still be in December
If we're meant to be together change the way you see the weather
Live for now, forget forever
On another midnight run, sniffin for trouble, unlucky for some
On another midnight run, I'll still be breathing come the morning sun
It's hurting my eyes, it's hurting my ears
I know, I know, I'm know there'll be tears
You're hurting inside, been hurting for years
I know, I know, I know there'll be tears
But it's never that clear, clear
[Rap:]
Got a couple of skeletons in my closet
Couple of skeletons in my bed
Couple of skeletons in my wallet
Couple of skeletons in my head
I never shoulda listened to the serpent
No one's perfect certainly it worked for me
You've tasted sherbert so don't point your sticks at me
I've read the ten commandments at large no harm ignoring parts of it
I've had it up to here with the jargon
Pardon? They're my rules I started
Not saying that I don't feel guilty
Silky smooth it's never gonna be
But I'm looking at a man in the mirror right now and I'm not quite sure it's me
On another midnight run, sniffin for trouble, unlucky for some
On another midnight run, I'll still be breathing come the morning sun
It's hurting my eyes, it's hurting my ears
I know, I know, I'm know there'll be tears
You're hurting inside, been hurting for years
I know, I know, I know there'll be tears
But it's never that clear, clear
Things you wanna see are just done
I may regret if you're the right one
But I can't avoid the midnight run
I'll keep on going, I'll keep on going
Til I find the right one
I'll keep on growing, I'll keep on growing
Til I find myself a new gun
If we're meant to be together change the way you see the weather
Live for now, forget forever
We can still be in December
If we're meant to be together change the way you see the weather
Live for now, forget forever
On another midnight run, sniffin for trouble, unlucky for some
On another midnight run, I'll still be breathing come the morning sun
It's hurting my eyes, it's hurting my ears
I know, I know, I'm know there'll be tears
You're hurting inside, been hurting for years
I know, I know, I know there'll be tears
But it's never that clear, clear
All the things you said you don't like,
Were helping me get high as a kite
Someone promised me they wouldn't bite
I guess I'm someone different at night
I'll keep on going, I'll keep on going
Til I my heart says no
I'll keep on growing, I'll keep on growing
Til I find myself a new show
If we're meant to be together change the way you see the weather
Live for now, forget forever
We can still be in December
If we're meant to be together change the way you see the weather
Live for now, forget forever
On another midnight run, sniffin for trouble, unlucky for some
On another midnight run, I'll still be breathing come the morning sun
It's hurting my eyes, it's hurting my ears
I know, I know, I'm know there'll be tears
You're hurting inside, been hurting for years
I know, I know, I know there'll be tears
But it's never that clear, clear

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Can't believe that nobody have commented this awesome song.......
I adore this track. The lyrics really speak to me. And the sound is really energetic. Very different. Not the same same old.
