      Actually it's better being underrated so they don't attract the normies and casuals that ruin everything they come across. I was happy listening to K-Pop when it was unknown to the masses but left it for good once it became mainstream due to the toxic fans and the music itself starting to become generic rubbish.

    [Intro]
    Look, I know you miss her man, but...
    But you can't keep doing this to yourself
    She's moved on
    Meanwhile you're out there just
    Walking the streets at night
    Alone, in a river of darkness
    [Verse 1]
    Glowing windows in the buildings from the elevated train
    I see a thousand different stories pass
    And faces without names
    Forget why I came here
    And I forget why I stay
    And wonder if they'd notice
    If I slipped away
    [Verse 2]
    What if I kept going
    If I don't get off tonight
    What if I ride this to the edges
    Through the darkness to the light
    [Chorus]
    Could I find you there?
    Could I find you there?
    If I slipped away?
    [Verse 3]
    What if there's no answer
    We're all just hearts that have to fight
    Through the dangers of the rapids
    Through the darkness to the light
    [Chorus]
    Could I find you there?
    Could I find you there?
    If I slipped away?
    [Outro]
    Look, I know you miss her man, but...
    But you can't keep doing this to yourself
    She's moved on
    Meanwhile you're out there just
    Walking the streets at night
    Alone, in a river of darkness

    So, The Midnight holds a special place in my heart, and maybe this song in particular. . . When I first discovered them (which was sadly only last year, 2019), I was going through my worst breakup that I've ever been through. Now, I'm usually rather picky with who I date, however, I was head over heels for a girl that, ultimately, was no good for me, used me, and ended up moving on to someone else without batting an eyelash. . . At the beginning of our relationship, it was so. . . beautiful. . . She showed me a side of her that I couldn't help but fall in love with. . . I would've done anything for her. . . Alas, through time, the spark seemed to disappear for her, and her true intentions showed. . . And we argued, so much, over things we shouldn't have been arguing about. . . By a certain point, I wondered if she even had any feelings for me to begin with, or if it was just a game for her, and upon finding out some undesirable information regarding things she was doing behind my back, things she though she was deceiving me on, I had to break up with her, and it was rough. . . Anyways, it took me so long to get over her, and when I used to listen to this, I would get this strange, beautiful, sadness that I feel the song encapsulates so well. . . A feeling of longing and hope for something that's now gone. . . So long I had associated sadness with this song, though I still loved it, longed for it, maybe even, so to speak, I don't know. . . Now, months later, and alone, with a fresh head on my shoulders, this song has a new sound to me, and a new meaning. . . In a way, the song is more beautiful than I've ever heard it before, and it only just started happening a couple weeks ago. . . I may not understand it 100% yet, but the sadness I felt for so long is fading, and now when I hear this, I can only smile. . . I saw them live here in Florida a few months ago, and what I wouldn't give to see them live again. . . Truly a group that has touched my heart. . . Sorry for the sap, but maybe someone can relate :) Stay safe and happy y'all. . .

      I know it hurts..

      Im not Trying to diminish your heartache..
      I'm just being honest with you. I'm tired of re learning the same lesson that things can always be worse too. But we keep learning it because it's true.
      For example, right now, as we speak, someone is being held against their will probably tortured. Just wishing death would come. So I try to tell myself as long as I have freedom of movement. Then i'm in a much better position than I realize. Just take it day by day and be grateful that you're not suffering worse than you are. Because life is a true hell for many people. Again, I'm not trying to take away anything from your feelings. I'm just speaking from experience. I was held against my will before and it was fucking hell. It made me wish that I can just go through heartache Instead.

    This song is special, i added it to my list, removed it, missed it, added it again.
    My phone refused to play it, removed it, a friend kept imagining his old life with his ex, the lyrics of this song plays in my head, gave him a link, he loves it too.
    And now basically everytime i play this song i get the same feeling as if im hearing it for the very first time.
    Such a special feeling, and i love it.

    Man i never believe how prophetic the intro speech would be in 2022. I first heard this masterpiece in 2019 and i listened to it regularly since. In January 2022, before the new year's month even ended, she just vanished from her job and all phone calls went unanswered. No one seemed to know anything. The lyrics of this song has since been describing me . The building where she used to work is across the street from my office. so i found myself staying after hours to do extra work- then at 8 pm. I turn off everything and step onto the balcony , my tie and jacket fluttering in the cool night breeze.
    I sit on the chair i rolled out from the office, reach into my jacket and take out a cigarette. for a brief moment the flame of the lighter illuminates my face and the disappointment and hope i still have. I take a strong inhale of the rich tobacco and blow the smoke with a cool quiet demeanor.
    and this song is playing on my phone and my thoughts are on her "where shall i look next?" "why did she move on and never said anything? we weren't strangers. she used to light up like a grand christmas tree everytime she saw me and we talked."
    the shock of her gone messes with my brain- i wake up every night at odd random hours wondering if I hallucinated her and the 2 years we been really good friends.
    Well i have gotten too old to die young so for what its worth, im going to pursue this to the end-at least until i get the answers i'm looking for.

    LYRICS
    Look I know you miss her man, but
    But you can't keep doing this to yourself
    She's moved on
    Meanwhile you're out there just
    Walking the streets at night
    Alone, in a river of darkness
    Glowing windows in the buildings from the elevated train
    I see a thousand different stories pass
    And faces without names
    Forget why I came here
    And I forget why I stay
    And wonder if they'd notice
    If I slipped away
    What if I kept going
    If I don't get off tonight
    What if I ride this to the edges
    Through the darkness to the light
    Could I find you there?
    Could I find you there?
    If I slipped away?
    What if there's no answer
    We're all just hearts that have to fight
    Through the dangers of the rapids
    Through the darkness to the light
    Could I find you there?
    Could I find you there?
    If I slipped away?
    Look I know you miss her man, but
    But you can't keep doing this to yourself
    She's moved on
    Meanwhile you're out there just
    Walking the streets at night
    Alone, in a river of darkness
