We've all been there: There's someone we have feelings for, but we don't think we've done the right things or are "good enough" for them. Maybe they're out of our league, or maybe they gave us a shot and we screwed it up. But dang it if we're not going to keep trying, right?
I feel like Midnight Blue is a song about the moment when you say, "I'm not giving up. I care. I don't want this to end and I'm going to do whatever I can to win you back and prove I'm worth your love."
It's about reflecting on our whole being, including who we are (the things I've done and said), our upbringing (I remember what my father said), our past mistakes (I ain't got no regrets, I won't apologize), then deciding, for the sake of all of that, it's worth it to lean into our feelings (I just gotta follow through) and go for the glory, the cherry red. To do that? Sometimes, you have to throw caution into the wind and drive out into the middle of the night, the midnight blue, to do the silly, desperate thing with no one else's help and, against all odds, try to win someone's heart.
It's about optimism, too, though any level of determination revolves around some optimism. "I'm the one that can see the sun right in the pouring rain." I can see us figuring out how to be together, even though we're not. I'm saving up my love. Soon there's going to come a day, I'll be back again. No, not there yet. But I'm going to figure it out. Determination.
Add in the driving synth and guitars with drums that are almost marching, and it becomes a song about being determined to go out and prove you're good enough to deserve someone's love. We've all been there: That moment when you know the chance is coming to make a good impression on your crush, maybe the one that takes it from a crush to more. When you're in the car on the way to do that? Midnight Blue is a good soundtrack.
