| Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds – Midnight Man Lyrics | 16 years ago |

so, why no comments on this song? I guess it's not an easy one to interprete, but surely someone has to have some nice ideas... what comes to my mind after hearing it a zillion times: the chrysalis, the 'ever-loving man' is a fragile, almost unreal dream of the perfect guy, 'Mr Right', the one every woman out there dreams of; the perfect match, the father of her future babies, the best lover she ever had. the midnight man is just one of her many lovers, a guy she's simply killing time with while still dreaming about someone else. it seems to be a purely sex-based relationship, at least for her... the 'midnight man' though is not really happy about the situation he's involved in. He's fully aware that he's just a toy, a lover whom she'll leave eventually, but he doesn't want to give in and tries to proove that a 'midnight man' is just as good for her. He knows she's dreaming of someone else, he knows she probably had several other relationships like the one he's currently in, but still he keeps on fighting until one day he finally wakes up to realize that she left him and there is nothing he can really do about it... |
