Midnight Rider
譚詠麟 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's building up like thunder inside you
Feel the earth is quaking
The air itself is shaking around you
Shadows on the moon
Someone's coming very soon you will meet him
The midnight rider comes for you
You know it's right
It is your destiny
And there'll be no more turning back
So take your place in history
When he ride, ride, rides across the sky
You know that something has got to change
When he ride, ride, rides out of the night
Don't be afraid
When he comes calling your name
When he ride, ride.rides into your life
You know that nothing will be the same
Don't try to hide
You can't escape the fate he brings to you
Midnight rider, midnight rider
You know what it means now
You've always had a dream you've been after
Still you can't believe it
Your dreams are all beginning to happen
Over the horizon
No need to be surprised when you see him
The midnight rider comes for you
Now is the time
You know it's right
It is your destiny
And there'll be no more turning back
So take your place in history
When he ride, ride, rides across the sky
You know that something has got to change
When he ride, ride, rides out of the night
Don't be afraid
When he comes calling your name
When he ride, ride.rides into your life
You know that nothing will be the same
Don't try to hide
You can't escape the fate he brings to you
Midnight rider, midnight rider
When he ride, ride, rides across the sky
You know that something has got to change
When he ride, ride, rides out of the night
Don't be afraid
When he comes calling your name
When he ride, ride.rides into your life
You know that nothing will be the same
Don't try to hide
You can't escape the fate he brings to you
Midnight rider, midnight rider
The lyrics of Tan Yonglin's "Midnight Rider" describe the arrival of a mysterious, powerful figure referred to as the "midnight rider." The song evokes a sense of anticipation and impending change, as the singer describes a feeling of rumbling or shaking within the listener that heralds the rider's arrival. The rider's power is suggested through the vivid imagery of the earth quaking and the sky darkening, and the sense of destiny and fate is reinforced through the repeated insistence that "nothing will be the same."
The song's central message seems to be one of embracing change and accepting one's destiny, as the rider is depicted as an agent of transformation who presents an opportunity for the listener to "take [their] place in history." At the same time, the lyrics acknowledge the potential fear or uncertainty that can come with change, encouraging the listener not to be afraid when the rider "comes calling [their] name."
Overall, "Midnight Rider" presents an intriguing, enigmatic figure whose arrival signals both possibility and upheaval. The song encourages the listener to take a leap of faith and embrace the changes that the rider brings.
