Midnight Revelations: Unveiling Love's Disguises
Lyrics
It's midnight and I give up
Expressing surrender or resignation at midnight.
I'm tired of lying for you
Tired of dishonesty and deceit for someone else.
I will not hold your hands and pretend I'm your lover
Refusing to play the role of a fake lover by holding hands.
You must admit the turn offs
Acknowledging the existence of turn-offs in the relationship.
Have all been less than grand
Previous experiences of disappointments have not been impressive.
There's no more police escorts or the high school welcome bands
No more special treatment like police escorts or welcome bands.
I'm no lie detector
Asserting not being a lie detector, implying inability to uncover deception.
He's no bullshit talker and we both know who knows
Contrasting with someone described as not indulging in deceptive talk.
What should be known to all the authors
The two individuals are aware of what should be known by all the authors.
Now they've put away the kissing booths
Describing the removal of romantic attractions like kissing booths.
The chapstick gossip's truth
Chapstick gossip refers to intimate conversations; truth revealed.
The only donkey they'll be riding, boy, is the one wearing your shoes
Highlighting the lack of romantic interest, using a metaphor involving a donkey and shoes.
Now they've heard it through the walls of telephone operators
Rumors spread through telephone operators; walls metaphorically represent gossip.
And I found out from someone else, he said he was your brother
Discovering information about the person from an unexpected source (brother).
I'm no lie detector
Reiteration of not being a lie detector.
He's no bullshit talker and we both know who knows
Highlighting someone who doesn't engage in deceptive talk.
What should be known to all the authors
Awareness of information that should be known by all authors.
I don't care if I'm the only one who's not payin
Not concerned about being the only one not contributing, possibly financially.
Cause honey I am done staying up all night waiting
Expressing exhaustion and the decision to stop waiting up all night.
Now we're all tying the ribbons of worry to your tree
Symbolic act of collectively worrying about the person's actions.
Your passing will make the headlines but sadly no one will read
Predicting a significant event (passing) that won't receive much attention.
Just how the town's hopeless romantic had his heart on his sleeve
Describing the town's romantic figure with a broken heart, met a lonely end.
Died alone in the car park of a local library
Death occurred alone in a car park near a local library.
I'm no lie detector
Reiteration of not being a lie detector.
He's no bullshit talker and we both know who knows
Highlighting someone who avoids deceptive talk.
What should be known to all the authors
Reiterating awareness of information that should be known by all authors.
