Five Minutes to Midnight
Rescued at Midnight: A Tale of Redemption and Love
Lyrics
She found me wasted in my underwear
Encountered in a vulnerable state, possibly intoxicated and exposed.
Five minutes to midnight she was standing there
A significant moment of reckoning, with a short time until a crucial point.
I was lit, but a fading flame
Being inebriated but losing vitality and passion.
She was young, beautiful, pure and clean
Describing the woman as youthful, attractive, and untainted.
I had my doubts if I ever would turn sixteen
Expressing skepticism about reaching a certain age due to personal struggles.
I was a mess, a pawn in the game
Feeling disarrayed and manipulated as a pawn in life's challenges.
I thought it was too late
Believing it's too late and reaching a point of despair.
That I had reached the end
Sense of reaching the end of a situation or life itself.
But there she was
Introduction of a supportive figure - a lover and friend.
A lover and a friend
Describing the multifaceted role of the supportive person.
When everything's gone bad
Acknowledging challenging times and the need for guidance.
You need a guiding light
Emphasizing the importance of a guiding light in difficult situations.
And there she was
Reiteration of the supportive presence at a critical moment.
Five minutes to midnight
Specific reference to the time, highlighting urgency.
All I really needed was someone I could trust
Expressing a need for trust and the impact of low self-esteem on fairness.
Low self-esteem makes people so unjust
Reflecting on how personal insecurities lead to unjust treatment.
They always keep picking on you
Addressing the issue of being consistently targeted by others.
I was restless and I could never keep a job
Characterizing restlessness and instability in employment.
She saved me from the bully and the slob
Highlighting the rescuing role of the supportive figure from adversity.
I just did what I had to do
Taking necessary actions to overcome challenges.
I thought it was too late
Reiteration of the belief in a situation being too late.
That I had reached the end
Feeling near the conclusion of a challenging circumstance.
But there she was
Reintroduction of the supportive figure, emphasizing love and friendship.
A lover and a friend
Affirming the multifaceted support provided by the person.
When everything's gone bad
Restating the need for guidance during difficult times.
You need a guiding light
Emphasizing the crucial role of a guiding light in challenging situations.
And there she was
Reaffirmation of the supportive presence at a pivotal time.
Five minutes to midnight
Reiteration of the specific time reference, reinforcing urgency.
I thought it was too late
Restating the perception of a situation being too late.
That I had reached the end
Expressing a sense of approaching the conclusion of a challenging period.
But there she was
Highlighting the enduring presence of the supportive figure.
A lover and a friend
Affirming the dual role of the supportive person as a lover and friend.
When everything's gone bad
Acknowledging the necessity of guidance in dire situations.
You need a guiding light
Reemphasizing the importance of a guiding light during hardships.
And there she was
