Lyrics
When she left you in the midnight hour
Expressing the act of someone leaving during the late hours of the night.
She had other hearts she had to devour
Suggesting that the person who left had other romantic interests and was emotionally consuming others.
She had dreams deep as the ocean
Describing the departed person as having profound aspirations comparable to the vastness of the ocean.
But she could never seem to get them going
Highlighting a struggle to realize those dreams, facing difficulties in making them a reality.
That's why she's leaving on a midnight train
Indicating the departure on a train during the midnight hour.
And she is never coming back again
Emphasizing the finality of the departure, with the person not planning to return.
She had a heart that was always broken
Describing the person as having a consistently broken heart.
She'd rebuild it with the pieces stolen
Illustrating a pattern of rebuilding the broken heart using fragments taken from others.
That's why she's leaving in the midnight hour
Reiterating the theme of leaving during the midnight hour.
She is looking for a heart to devour
Implies the person is searching for someone else's heart to emotionally consume.
When she left you in the midnight hour

She had other hearts she had to devour

But she could never seem to get them going
Reemphasizing the struggle to materialize those dreams.
That's why she's leaving on a midnight train
Repeating the imagery of leaving on a midnight train, emphasizing the departure.
And she is never coming back again
Reaffirming the permanence of the departure, with no intention of returning.
