Midnight Lyrics

I can't decide which one of us will leave here alive
Your fingers breaking as I place them over mine
The only thing I need is time
To change your mind, I said

When all that you know
Has fallen behind you
It's not the past that you're afraid to see
There's nobody here and no one to find you
Tonight is forever

I can't decide which one of us is dreaming tonight
I'm just a shadow in the light you leave behind
The only thing I need is time
To change your mind, I said

When all that you know
Has fallen behind you
It's not the past that you're afraid to see
There's nobody here and no one to find you
Tonight is forever

It's always darker at the end of every answer
Like a finger down the back of your throat
It's always empty in the house of every ever (?)
Nothing waiting in the silence below

When all that you know
Has fallen behind you
It's not the past that you're afraid to see
There's nobody here and no one to find you
Tonight is forever

<3 the remnants of Play Dead in this song. Even though Play Dead is one of my favorites, I couldn't place it for the longest time and it was driving me crazy, lol.

This has to be my favorite song off of the new album. The vocals are a bit different than what I expect out of TBM.

I don't really hear any remnants of Play Dead like Mechadollie suggested...

Amazing track, my favourite from the album. Like most of TBM's songs it's kind of depressing but with a light at the end of the tunnel... there's a definite break-up theme to a lot of the songs on the album and coming to terms with change, moving on, etc. I think this song is about being in a failing relationship that's destructive to both people ("which one of us will leave here alive") and about the fragility of love ("your fingers breaking as I place them over mine"), how love isn't always enough to hold a relationship together. "The only thing I need is time to change your mind..." is a delusional statement, something you'd tell yourself to keep hope even when you know it's too late and the other person doesn't feel the same way anymore. ("I'm just a shadow in the light you leave behind")- maybe feelings of guilt or lack of self-worth, being left behind by the person who brought light to your life. ("When all that you know has fallen behind you, it's not the past that you're afraid to see")- when your life is turned upside down, realizing that it's really the uncertainty of the future that you're most afraid of, and needing to accept this before you can move on. ("There's nobody here and no one to find you...")- no one will save you but yourself. ("Tonight is forever")- "tonight" is the beginning of the rest of your life once you accept the truth??! In the bridge, ("It's always darker at the end of every answer...")- the truth is often not something we want to hear. ("Nothing waiting in the silence below")- there is nothing left, no more hope for the relationship, a dead end. Such an upbeat song yet some really heartbreaking lyrics- overall I think it's just about acceptance and looking forward to better things.

I think according to the phrase "I'm just a shadow in the light you leave behind" I'm guessing somebody who is with a popular, bright sprited, shining girl. She leave a light of happiness. And the other person is just a shadow of what the other person is. They know they can't compare to that one they love. "All I need is time to change your Mind" they try to change there prospective on something. "It's not the part that your afraid to see" saying the future looks grim. They don't want to see the future that they are being led to. "No one will find you" they don't have the courage to speak up about there feelings so they will never be heard. No one will find then and help them. "I can't decide which one of us will leave here alive" that's always tricked me sounds like they're planing to get rid of the one and is debating, should they leave them alive or not. "It's always darker at the end if every answer" this shining, happy go lucky girl says dark things. Some answers being scary. They know she's not like she seems. "It's always empty in the house if every other" they feel lonely with her. They feel as if they don't belong with someone like her. She's is a rich, happy, shining, popular girl. While they're, poor, sad, dark, unpopular person. Therefore they will never last and therefor it is about a break up.

That's what i think. Really a great song. I love sleepwalking a lot through... You'd be crazy not to.. I love it took kych I blast it at full blast..
