Lyrics
Walk in the sunlight as our eyes hurt
Walking in the sunlight causes discomfort to our eyes.
Trying to keep ourselves from the burning heat
We attempt to protect ourselves from the intense heat.
Sunglasses and leather jackets on
We wear sunglasses and leather jackets.
Wish we were still asleep
Expressing a desire to still be asleep.
And after the night falls
After night descends,
We walk the empty streets
We roam through deserted streets.
The smell of other people's cigarettes on our clothes
A scent of others' cigarette smoke clings to our clothes.
We're just having fun
We engage in activities purely for enjoyment.
Because
Stating a reason
We are, we are, we are
Emphasizing identity as 'midnight people'.
We are the midnight people, we are the midnight people
Reinforcing the identification as 'midnight people' and their existence.
Forever chasing the moonlight
Persistently pursuing the moonlight.
Always looking for something beneath the stars
Continually searching for something significant under the stars.
Walk under streetlights until dawn comes
Strolling beneath streetlights until morning arrives.
Anything can happen while the sun's asleep
Implying unpredictability during nighttime hours.
We are only ever happy when we're in the dark
Expressing happiness solely in darkness.
Yeah, we're just having fun
Confirming that their actions are simply for amusement.
Because
Reiterating a reason
We are, we are, we are
Reaffirming identity as 'midnight people'.
We are the midnight people, we are the midnight people
Restating the persistence of being 'midnight people'.
Forever chasing the moonlight
Continuously pursuing the moonlight.
Always looking for something beneath the stars
Always seeking something meaningful under the stars.
Because
Reiterating a reason
We are, we are, we are
Reasserting identity as 'midnight people'.
We are the midnight people, we are the midnight people
Confirming the ongoing pursuit as 'midnight people'.
Forever chasing the moonlight
Continuing to chase after the moonlight.
Always looking for something beneath the stars
Perpetually searching for significance under the stars.
We come alive when the night falls
They feel alive when nighttime arrives.
