Midnight Vice: Shadows of Desire in the Dark
Lyrics
Deep in the dark of my mind she's there
Reflecting on a person who occupies the speaker's thoughts deeply.
Cold come nights with no one to stay
Describing cold and lonely nights with no companionship.
Shooting the snow and grease in the hair
Depicting a scene of confrontation or conflict, possibly in a harsh environment.
They only come to blow them away
Suggesting that certain individuals come only to cause trouble or harm.
And you know there ain't tomorrow
Highlighting a sense of urgency and the absence of a guaranteed future.
When I can't remember today
Expressing difficulty in recalling the present moment or current circumstances.
Lonesome nights I need her
Expressing a yearning for companionship during lonely nights.
Drunken fights making you sway
Referring to conflicts fueled by alcohol, leading to unsteady emotions.
Cigarettes keep breathing
Symbolizing a habitual coping mechanism, where cigarettes become a constant source of comfort.
Midnight vice and foul play
Describing engagement in risky and potentially harmful behavior during midnight hours.
Follow your heart to the back street baby
Encouraging someone to explore unconventional paths, possibly associated with risk.
Watching your soul and making me pay
Observing someone's actions affecting the speaker emotionally and financially.
'Cause when you get low it ain't 'cause of me
Clarifying that the speaker is not the cause of someone's emotional low points.
Give me the booze and get on your way
Expressing a desire for distraction through alcohol, implying a need for space.
And you know I don't see sunlight
Stating a difficulty in perceiving positive aspects or a brighter future.
When I can't remember today
Reiterating the challenge of remembering the present moment amidst difficulties.
Lonesome nights I need her

Drunken fights making you sway
