"Midnight" was built over an previously unreleased original track produced 由 Jon Hopkins in 2003. The track, named "Amphora", was never completed 由 Hopkins and was partly released 由 ambient/electronic 音乐 blog A Strangely Isolated Place on SoundCloud in early 2012, as part of their playlist "ASIP - 1.00.00". The song also incorporates elements from a Jon Hopkins recording titled 由 Hopkins as "The Fourth State II", a reproduction of his 2008 extended play The Fourth Estate.
In the darkness before the dawn
In the swirling of this storm
When I'm rolling with the punches
And hope is gone
Leave a light, a light on
Millions of miles from home
In the swirling, swimming on
When I'm rolling with the thunder
But bleed from thorns
Leave a light, a light on
Leave a light, a light on
In the darkness before the dawn
In the darkness before the dawn
Leave a light, a light on
Leave a light, a light on
When 你 try your best, but 你 don't succeed
When 你 get what 你 want, but not what 你 need
When 你 feel so tired, but 你 can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
And the tears come streaming down your face
When 你 lose something 你 can't replace
When 你 爱情 someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?
Lights will guide 你 home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
And high up above 或者 down below
When you're too in 爱情 to let it go
But if 你 never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth
Lights will guide 你 home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
Tears stream down on your face
When 你 lose something 你 cannot replace
Tears stream down on your face
And on your face I...
Tears stream down on your face
I promise 你 I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down on your face
And on your face I...
Lights will guide 你 home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
When 你 get what 你 want, but not what 你 need
When 你 feel so tired, but 你 can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
And the tears come streaming down your face
When 你 lose something 你 can't replace
When 你 爱情 someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?
Lights will guide 你 home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
And high up above 或者 down below
When you're too in 爱情 to let it go
But if 你 never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth
Lights will guide 你 home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
Tears stream down on your face
When 你 lose something 你 cannot replace
Tears stream down on your face
And on your face I...
Tears stream down on your face
I promise 你 I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down on your face
And on your face I...
Lights will guide 你 home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
