"Kill your demons, kill 'em dead
In your mirror, in your bed
In your heart, in your head
Don't you look good in red?
Slay your devils, kill 'em all
Take your throne, paint the walls
And if you make it out alive, hold that bloody head up high
Don't you look good in red?
Don't you look good in red?"
Don't fall in love with the man on the stage
I'll be on in a minute I'm just sharpening my blade
Don't Fall for his flattering tune
He'll promise you the world untill you drink that perfume

#TheMidnight album "Kids" is working class poetry propaganda. You can't change my mind.
Tyler, the lead singer, himself at concert in Milwaukee said that he wrote America 2 for the working class folks.
Lyrics from kids both reprisal and prelude:
"Kids are sad the sky is blue their monsters in the spare bedroom
Kids grow up and move away
They close the plant in the mall arcade
Kids are sad, their parents too
Kids get high in the spare bedroom
We grow up and move away
The seasons pass but the monsters stay"
Lyrics from America 2, they support sex workers:
"Like the dancer with bruises who gathers the cash
When the music is through, no she don't look back
I've come to look for America too"
An excerpt from explorers about who The Midnight has solidarity with:
"To the lost ark raiders
To the lion tamers
To the stowaway
To the white tide chaser
To the black flag raiser
I am on my way"
#synthwave is about the plight of the workers through nostalgia. Where things sound familiar because they are to remind ourselves of the past of what we had and what capitalism has taken from us. A new sound but it is familiar because we recognize our past. We can look at the past and remind ourselves of what we had but we should also look to the future to improve the present.
Also "kids" is not the only class conscious work that The Midnight has put out.
Brooklyn is about how being poor is expensive.
Heros is about how we are easily satisfied with shitty situations and how the only heros in this world is us.
Just wanted to share my favorite band and how they're some omega based band.
Hereโs my 2022 #AppleMusicReplay for the year. No real surprises here. I realllllly love the new #TheMidnight album.

This video provides such a great analysis of what makes nostalgia and a super in-depth review of #themidnight catalog up until the Heros album.
