Midnight/tornado

Skid Row

The night approaches, after dark you have no chance
Oh, when moonlight takes the sky, you'll feel my dark romance
I'm on your footsteps as I wait behind your back
I spread like fire upon the streets, I'm ready to attack

I'm the only thing you need
Upon your love I feed

When the clock strikes midnight
I'm on the prowl of love
When the clock strikes midnight
Yeah, the time is right to call you out

When I'm feeling wicked and my blood is running hot
Electric is my touch, baby, you don't know what you got
Only in the evening and at night I come alive
So try to keep you passion deep, I need it to survive

I'm the only thing you need
Upon your love I feed

When the clock strikes midnight
I'm on the prowl of love
When the clock strikes midnight
And the time is right to call you out
When the clock strikes midnight
When the wicked moon it starts to rise
When the clock strikes midnight
You know I'm alive

Yeah, yeah

When the clock strikes midnight
I'm on the prowl of love
When the clock strikes midnight
And the time is right to call you out
When the clock strikes midnight
When the wicked moon it starts to rise
When the clock strikes midnight
You know I'm alive

    It's about a vampire. An incubus to be exact. For those of you that dont' know, an incubus is a male vampire who seduces women in order to feed off of their blood. This song is about a lustful vampire ready to strike.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
