Midnight Signal

Midnight Signal is about the connections that persist across distance — the people who stay in your life even when you're a thousand miles away. Tangerine ice cream from a place you've never been. Turning the kitchen light on from a hotel room halfway around the world. Earthquake trembles, power outages, lemon ice from a food truck. Gelato conversations at midnight and frozen bananas in the freezer. The porch light always left on. 'We fade in, we fade out / Through the noise we never had a doubt.' The trip-hop production through Radio Static wraps it all in a midnight haze — warm, reflective, the sound of 2 AM when you're far away but the signal always comes through. Originally thought to be instrumental, but Whisper transcription revealed a full set of deeply personal lyrics.

[Verse 1] Tangerine ice cream from a place I've never been By a drum circle, she says the taste is like a dream Midnight takes about a camera and a drone Thousand miles away, but I never feel alone Turn the kitchen light on from a hotel A room, dark TV glowing underneath the half of the moon Static on the line, but I hear you clear Every late-night signal pulling me here [Chorus] We fade in, we fade out Through the noise we never had a doubt Stash you, cinnamon at midnight You always leave the porch light on I'm fading, fade out Through the smoke I suppose you figured it out I'm starting to fade, but I'm still right here You're the signal coming through [Verse 2] Earthquake trembles halfway around the world Power's out, the generator wouldn't turn It's a lemon ice from a food truck down the road Spent a cathedral on before the night got cold Feelings miss a belly, hiding somewhere in the air Found them by the gate and we breathe again right here Free flights left and you still check in Every mile apart, we close again [Chorus] We fade in, we fade out Through the noise we never had a doubt Park over and frozen bananas in midnight You always leave the porch light on I'm fading, fade out Through the smoke I suppose you figured it out I'm starting to fade, but I'm still right here You're the signal coming through [Bridge] She said, if I had a break I'd go back and chase the tangerine light I love trees and cocktails on the coast But instead she's right across the road I'm in my place, checking on the door You don't find people like that anymore [Outro] We fade in, gelato conversations Wanna tell me what you think, let's try again I'm starting to fade, but you're still right here The only signal coming through
