Midnight Sun
Emotional Turmoil: Navigating Loss and Longing
Lyrics
Wake up start missing, the things we've been saying
Reflecting on the beginning of missing someone upon waking up.
But I can't shake these feelings, just know they're repeating
Struggling with recurring and persistent emotions.
For years or for months, I know that it still hurts
Acknowledging enduring pain, whether for years or months.
I don't know how to feel, I just know it gets worse
Uncertain about emotions but aware that they intensify.
But I like when we're kissing, in the dreams I've been having
Finding solace in dream kisses despite their unreality.
And I know that they're not real, and it doesn't matter
Recognizing the dream's fiction but finding comfort in it.
And I know that you're gone, and I can't help this song
Acknowledging the absence of a significant other and expressing through song.
I don't know how to feel, I'll just try to move on
Uncertainty about emotions and attempting to move forward.
When does it ever end?
Pondering when the emotional struggle will cease.
The stories inside my head
Reference to internalized stories and thoughts.
Will you load it like a gun?
Comparing emotional burden to loading a gun.
Will you shoot the midnight sun?
Questioning whether one will confront or avoid the emotional burden (midnight sun).
This week I've been seeing some things on the ceiling
Experiencing unsettling visions, possibly related to personal struggles.
Turns out they're my demons, just hope that they're leaving
Realizing internal struggles as personal demons and hoping for resolution.
And I can't shake these thoughts, from the past that pop up
Struggling with persistent thoughts from the past.
I don't know how to feel, it just feels like I'm stuck
Feeling emotionally stuck and unsure how to navigate.
Now the nights start to creep in, in the daylight we're sleeping
Describing the encroaching emotional darkness during nighttime.
Close your eyes you'll be seeing, your job ain't worth keeping
Suggesting that ignoring responsibilities may lead to dissatisfaction.
This life's got you bored, pay no mind while he's yours
Implying discontent with life and relationship challenges.
I don't know how to feel, but just don't close that door
Expressing uncertainty but urging not to close the door on possibilities.
When does it ever end?
Reiteration of the query about when the emotional struggle will end.
The stories inside my head
Revisiting the internalized stories and thoughts.
You load it like a gun
Comparing emotional burden to loading a gun (repeated motif).
When you shoot the midnight sun
Repeating the question about confronting or avoiding the emotional burden.
Never thought that it would be
Surprised by the loneliness, comparing it to the sound of silence.
The sound of no company
Loneliness is more profound than the absence of company.
Is louder than a gun
Loneliness is deafening, likened to the loudness of a gun.
I'll shoot the midnight sun
Committing to facing or dealing with the emotional burden (shooting the midnight sun).
But I need it more than you
Expressing a personal need for the emotional burden.
And I mean it, I'm lost without you
Emphasizing the importance of the significant other and feeling lost without them.
Well don't leave there's still so much to do
Pleading not to leave and suggesting unfulfilled plans.
When does it ever end?
Reiteration of the query about when the emotional struggle will end.
The stories inside my head
Revisiting the internalized stories and thoughts (repeated motif).
Oh, you load it like a gun
Comparing emotional burden to loading a gun (repeated motif).
When you shoot the midnight sun
Repeating the question about confronting or avoiding the emotional burden.
Now the rain just comes and goes
Describing the unpredictable nature of emotional pain.
The nights are getting cold
Noticing the chill in relationships as nights grow colder.
I don't wanna know, I don't wanna see
Expressing a desire to remain ignorant of certain painful truths.
I don't wanna wake up without you next to me
Not wanting to face the reality of waking up without the significant other.
Wake up start missing, the things we've been saying
Reiteration of waking up and missing shared moments.
But I can't shake these feelings, just know they're repeating
Repeating the struggle with persistent emotions (repeated motif).
For years or for months, I know that this shit hurts
Acknowledging prolonged emotional pain and its intensity.
I don't know how to feel, I just know it gets worse
Uncertainty about emotions but aware that they intensify over time.
