about

This epic dark and at the same time hopeful song is the crux of the content matter of "Midnight Door". It almost feels controversial, the mixed messages all piled up in there. But really it's just to be read whatever way you want.

For me the not assuming the night or the road will tell me anything, and the not needing anything, the not believing in anything, it's all about appreciating what I have.

It's a thought on what to appreciate and expect from life. Appreciate the road for the road, not as a means to an end. Appreciate each other the same way.

lyrics

Someone tell the darkened clouds to change their way, turn around.
Wonder waits beyond the vastest highway like a need.

Don't assume the road will go to anything.
Don't assume the road will lead to anything.
Don't assume the road will lead to anything at all.

Somewhere there begins the life, the sharpened blade,
somewhere there begins the life I promised I would lead.

I don't assume the night will tell me anything.
Don't assume the night will tell you anything at all.

Sailing on the sea, stars they lead the way.
Changes in the weather, phrase and then refrain.

Someone tell the alchemist: I felt the pain, I felt the bliss, I mixed them up, created this, a sighing melody.

I won't be needing anything.
I don't believe in anything.
Don't believe in anything.
