The Matrix
Midnight Yearning: The Matrix Symphony
Lyrics
My shirt’s inside out, just to try it
Wearing my shirt inside out intentionally, experimenting or trying something different.
With every button clamped to my aching sweat
Every button of the shirt is fastened despite feeling uncomfortable or in pain due to sweat or exertion.
You said you didn’t mind it
Someone (the listener or a person being referred to) expressed acceptance or indifference towards the unusual way the shirt is worn.
I put a record on, ‘cause I like it
Playing a vinyl record because of personal preference or enjoyment.
I thought the wailing shreds would just hurt your head
Expecting that the loud and discordant music might bother or annoy the person, but their reaction was contrary—they were unaffected or accepting.
Instead, you didn’t mind it
The person didn't mind the music being played, contrary to the expectation of it bothering them.
Do you wanna go to a midnight showing of The Matrix?
Invitation to attend a late-night screening of the movie "The Matrix."
And if you turn me down, I’ll survive it
Acceptance of potential rejection and willingness to cope if declined.
I’ll put my life on hold to try to drown you out
Ready to prioritize personal life and emotions to overcome the feelings associated with rejection.
I doubt I could keep it quiet
Doubting the capability of keeping emotions hidden or suppressed.
Do you wanna go to a midnight showing of The Matrix?
Reiteration of the invitation to watch "The Matrix" at midnight.
‘Cause I gotta know if Neo takes the red or blue
Curiosity about a pivotal choice in the movie, questioning if Neo chooses the red pill or the blue pill.
Do you wanna go to a midnight showing of The Matrix?
Repeating the invitation, showing enthusiasm or a strong desire to share the movie experience.
If you don’t, please promise me you’ll fake it
Hoping that even if the person is not interested, they will pretend or agree to go for the sake of the speaker's feelings or desires.
‘Cause I wanna take you
Expressing a desire to share the experience of watching the movie with the person, regardless of their initial interest.
