Lyric
Midnight Press ~The Watson's Blues~ (feat. NANA) [ENG]
SHIONO, Twilight Master
I traded daddy’s silk for a beat-up leather coat
Tired of the sugar-coated lies the K-Street suits promote
Don't need the cocktail chatter, keep your smoke and mirrors game
Give me the unfiltered truth, the unapologetic flame
Just the heavy clack of the typewriter keys
Cutting through the static, bringing liars to their knees
Type it out, type it loud
The truth is always messy, but it stands up proud
Chasing the shadow of that cynical mind
Leaving all the D.C. illusions behind
This is the Midnight Press, rolling off the line
Keep your cheap romance, I don't need a valentine
Just give me a front-row seat to the masterpiece
To watch the genius work, until the lies cease
Bespoke three-piece, the cold tick of a pocket watch
Always three steps ahead, sipping your neat scotch
Don't try to play my hero, I ain't looking for a crutch
I'm no glass-case princess, I don't shatter at a touch
You dissect the glitch, the bug in the machine
I splash the ugly facts across the magazine
My pen and my camera, yeah, they're my loaded gun
Not lovers, just partners, till the story is done
Type it out, type it loud
The truth is always messy, but it stands up proud
Chasing that foreign aristocrat through the midnight rain
No time for jealousy, no time to complain
This is the Midnight Press, rolling off the line
Keep your cheap romance, I don't need a valentine
Just give me a front-row seat to the masterpiece
To watch the genius work, until the lies cease
Dawn breaks on the Capitol, the sky's turning gray
Cold coffee, black ink, washing the shadows away
You expose the lie
I write the truth
Yeah, that's my byline

Featuring a smoky acoustic bassline and a low-toned, husky female vocal, this track delivers a smooth, soulful blues vibe straight out of a late-night D.C. jazz club. It captures the sharp intellect, independent spirit, and quiet dedication of Sarah O'Connor-a high-society D.C. official's daughter who chose the gritty frontlines of journalism over a sheltered life.
"Keep your cheap romance, I don't need a valentine. Just give me a front-row seat to the masterpiece."
A stylish, hard-boiled tribute to the ultimate investigative partner.

Alongside my day job, I continue to pursue creative writing. I constantly strive to maintain an objective, third-party perspective on history and detail throughout my creative process. It's a continuous cycle of envisioning scenes and imagery while adding text and words, but my guiding principle is to craft quality works. I believe that without fulfilling my social responsibility as an author, my work holds no value. Thus, I adhere to the creed that -The pen is mightier than the sword-. Also, I am a multilingual creator who continues to explore and express emotions that cannot be fully captured by words, translating them into high-quality music that deepens and extends the experience of my work. Welcome to my Universe!
