Midnight In Harlem
Midnight Reverie: A Soul's Journey through City Lights
Lyrics
Well, I came to the city
Expressing arrival in the city.
I was running from the past
Escaping from one's past.
Yeah my heart it was bleeding
Describing emotional pain and vulnerability.
cnd it hurt my bones to laugh
Physical and emotional discomfort, suggesting a struggle.
But I stayed in the city
Decision to remain in the city.
There's no exception to the rule there
Emphasizing a universal rule about staying in the city.
Cause she was born to love me
Indicating a deep connection with someone in the city.
cnd I was raised to be her fool
Acknowledging a sense of being devoted or dedicated to someone.
Walk that line, torn apart
Encouraging resilience despite challenges.
Spend your whole life trying
Highlighting the ongoing effort to overcome difficulties.
Ride that train, free your heart
Metaphorically urging to release emotional burdens.
It's midnight up in Harlem, baby
Setting the scene of the song, emphasizing a significant time and place.
I went down to the river
Moving to the river, possibly seeking solace or reflection.
cnd I took a look around
Observing the surroundings, implying contemplation.
There was old man's shoes
Noticing signs of aging and experience.
There were needles on the ground
Highlighting a troubled environment with drug references.
No more mysteries, baby
Expressing a desire for clarity and truth.
No more secrets, no more clues
Rejecting deceit and hidden information.
The stars are out there
Emphasizing a clear night sky, possibly symbolizing hope.
You can almost see the moon
Suggesting visibility and openness.
The streets are windy
Describing the atmospheric conditions in the city.
cnd the subway's closing down
Indicating the end of the day and potential challenges.
Gonna carry this dream
Commitment to pursuing a dream despite obstacles.
To the other side of town
Moving towards a different part of town, possibly seeking change.
Walk that line, torn apart
Reiterating the theme of facing challenges with resilience.
Spend your whole life trying
Continuing the idea of a lifelong struggle.
Ride that train, free your heart
Encouraging emotional liberation and letting go.
It's midnight up in Harlem
Reaffirming the significance of the time and place in Harlem.
