Midnight at McGuffy's Lyrics
Wow
When I plot inside of my lair
I get lost inside of my maze
I could rot inside of my lair
Or do me a favor and get out of my way
'Cause you've been waiting up all, waiting up all day (Been waiting up all day)
And I know it's not my, know it's not my place (It's not my place)
But I'm begging you, I'm begging you to stay (I want you to stay)
So we can feel our
Heartbeats, heartbeats, heartbeats
It's going to explode
I can't be what you need
'Cause I've got no control
Heartbeats, heartbeats, heartbeats
It's going to explode
I can't be what you need
I took a trip through all my past mistakes for you
You couldn't let me live and just forget it
I took a trip through all my past mistakes for you
For you, for you
I'm in Hell and making zany art
Don't think I'm lame
My inner baby, it needs its child support
Can you help me pay?
Fifty quid a pop, I grow grapes
Stayed up wondering, "Should I change how I behave?"
How's your parents? Are they still gay?
Fucked around and got some band-aids from Rite Aid
And when the bleeding stops
You're only feeding the fire
Your body starts to slow
When the dreaming stops
The nightmare fuel can retire
The mind is left alone
And as the feelings pass
You're looking for the rat
But you're the piper that played itself for you
And when the bleeding stops
You're only feeding the fire, fire, fire, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Wow
Didn't know it was your birthday
Blew it in the worst way, fuck me
Guess I'll take you to the buffet
See a scary movie, Scream 3
It's midnight at McGuffy's
I think I'm thirty-something
My talk is mostly bluffing
I stuck my dick in nothing
All this tech and stocks I glaze
Reject me and I'll rage
Have you heard of microdosing Ayahuasca, dude?
Long legs, long knives, and I'm still alive (It's midnight at McGuffy's)
Long legs, long knives, and I'm still alive (It's midnight at McGuffy's)
Long legs, long knives, and I'm still alive (It's midnight at McGuffy's)
Long legs, long knives, and I'm still alive ('Bout to get my nose stuffy)
Long legs, long knives, and I'm still alive (It's midnight at McGuffy's)
I am the common theme
Long legs, long knives, and I'm still alive (It's midnight at McGuffy's)
The poison in your dreams
Long legs, long knives, and I'm still alive (It's midnight at McGuffy's)
(Don't get me started or I'll start it up)
Don't get me started, I'll go right now
Fifty quid a pop, I grow grapes
Stayed up wondering, "Should I change how I behave?"
How's your parents? Are they still gay?
Fucked around and got some band-aids from Rite Aid (Oh)
And when the bleeding stops
You're only feeding the fire
Your body starts to slow
When the dreaming stops
The nightmare fuel can retire
The mind is left alone
And as the feelings pass
You're looking for the rat
But you're the piper that played itself for you
And when the bleeding stops
You're only feeding the fire, fire, fire, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Crimes, pure obsession (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Get you invested (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Into a battle that was nothing at all (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
When I plot inside of my lair
I get lost inside of my maze
I could rot inside of my lair
Or do me a favor and get out of my way
And I know it's not my, know it's not my place (It's not my place)
But I'm begging you, I'm begging you to stay (I want you to stay)
So we can feel our
Heartbeats, heartbeats, heartbeats

Throughout the song, we’re faced with themes of feeling isolated. We watch the protagonist stumble upon a bar where the band is playing. The protagonist eventually gets sedated when he emerges as Jon Mess (unclean vocalist), probably a representation of the man he want’s to be. Some fans have even speculated that the song may be subtly directed to Tilian, the bands previous singer.
