Midnight Mirage (English Translation) Lyrics

[Chorus: Sohee, Wonbin]
In a midnight mirage, Above the black sky
My dream in my imagination brightly illuminates the night
When the distant haze twinkles
I’ll hold it all in my arms
In a midnight mirage, I never let go

[Verse 1: Sungchan, Sungchan & Anton, Eunseok]
Above the purple dawn moonlight
Again, the fog spreads as if swallowing me
Suddenly, inspiration comes without a word
Wakes me up this sleeping night, alright
A small light hidden in the white clouds
Growing bigger and bigger, filling this night
As if leading me, it flies up
Now I can fly, ooh, woah

[Chorus: All]
In a midnight mirage, Above the black sky
My dream in my imagination brightly illuminates the night
When the distant haze twinkles (Hey)
I’ll hold it all in my arms
In a midnight mirage, I never let go

[Verse 2: Shotaro, Shotaro & Sohee, Anton]
Everyone is asleep at dawn, but
I know the secret of this time well
My imagination spreads out like stars
Filling up the empty canvas all night
The hazy dreams in my head
Clear as paints, one by one
Flying up as if I could touch them
Now I can fly, ooh, woah

[Chorus: All]
In a midnight mirage, Above the black sky
My dream in my imagination brightly illuminates the night
Far away, a faint haze (Hey) When it sparkles (Hey)
I’ll fill it up in my arms
In a midnight mirage, I’ll never let go

[Post-Chorus: All, Sohee]
Oh (Hey), oh, oh (Hey), oh
Far away, a faint haze (Hey) When it sparkles (Hey)
I’ll fill it up in my arms
In a midnight mirage, I’ll never let go

[Bridge: Wonbin, All]
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Falling away The empty spot at dawn
My dreams shine brighter
I’ll show you, hold my hand
Now we can fly, woah

[Chorus: All]
In a midnight mirage, Even in the bright morning
The dream in my imagination keeps shining on me
The flash beyond (Hey) that I searched for all night (Hey)
Still shining inside me
In a midnight mirage, I never let go

[Outro: All]
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Midnight Mirage Lyrics Meaning

[Chorus: Sohee, Wonbin]
Sohee and Wonbin introduce the central metaphor of the song—a “midnight mirage”—symbolizing the ethereal space where dreams come to life in the darkness. The use of imagery like the black sky and glowing dreams sets a mystical tone. Their yearning to capture and hold onto this vision conveys the desire to preserve fleeting moments of inspiration and emotional clarity.

[Verse 1: Sungchan, Sungchan & Anton, Eunseok]
Sungchan, Anton, and Eunseok describe a tranquil yet transformative nightscape where creativity flows like fog and moonlight. The sudden arrival of inspiration, described as silent and powerful, awakens them from stillness. The small light hidden in the clouds gradually grows, suggesting an expanding sense of purpose or vision. The flight metaphor at the end marks the beginning of a personal or artistic ascent.

[Chorus: All]
The full group reinforces the chorus, emphasizing collective yearning and unity in chasing these midnight dreams. The haze now becomes a shared symbol of uncertainty and beauty, and the desire to hold onto it remains strong. The repetition underscores the importance of this dream space in their emotional and creative lives.

[Verse 2: Shotaro, Shotaro & Sohee, Anton]
Shotaro, joined by Sohee and Anton, deepens the introspection by revealing how the stillness of early dawn becomes a sacred space for imagination. The mention of a blank canvas being filled mirrors the artistic process, while dreams once vague become vivid like paint. This section highlights how creativity becomes more tangible and empowering the more it’s embraced.

[Chorus: All]
The repetition of the chorus again grounds the listener in the dreamscape. The use of collective voices implies unity not only within the group but also among those who dare to dream. The mirage remains a powerful, guiding presence through the quiet night.

[Post-Chorus: All, Sohee]
The post-chorus adds an echo of reflection, with brief, haunting phrases suggesting the fragility of the moment. Sohee’s soft interjection reiterates the importance of holding onto the light even when it flickers in and out of sight. The repetition of “I’ll never let go” cements the commitment to staying true to one’s dreams.

[Bridge: Wonbin, All]
Wonbin’s vocals introduce a subtle shift as the dawn approaches and the dream begins to fade. Yet, instead of loss, there’s hope—the dreams shine brighter, and now there’s an invitation to others to join the journey. The shift from “I” to “we” marks a collective empowerment, symbolizing support and shared vision.

[Chorus: All]
In the final chorus, RIIZE reimagines the “midnight mirage” not as something limited to night but as a guiding force that continues to shine even into the morning. This line bridges the nocturnal inspiration with daylight action, suggesting that dreams conceived in silence can influence one’s waking life.

[Outro: All]
The outro closes the song with an open-ended, almost meditative tone. The repetition of “oh” echoes into silence, allowing the imagery and emotion of the journey to linger. It feels like a gentle exhale after an intense night of dreaming and self-discovery.
