Arizona Zervas Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah
(Take-take it easy word to '94), ayy

I come alive at nighttime, I think it's the right time
Little bit of Hennessy, mix it with it with the white wine
Kiss the sun goodbye, the stars are in your eyes
We go up like balloons, now we riding through the sky
We been up for two nights, shining in the moonlight
Little bit of Hennessy, just to get the mood right

Baby, let's get higher, I can be the driver
Straight up to the moon, you know I'm a nightrider

I'm a nightrider, nightrider
Nightrider, nightrider
Nightrider, nightrider
Nightrider, nightrider

I'm on the road, yeah, whipping on my Harley (Whip)
I'm going fast, girl, I wanna take a ride with you (You)
Left your old man, baby, let me slide in (Slide)
You got a past girl, you know I got some mileage too (Too)
New whip got me floating like Aladdin (Float)
True shit, shorty you could be my Jasmine (Whoa)
Night shift, I've been working night shifts, yeah (Work)
Flight risk when I twist the right wrist, yeah

I'm a nightrider, nightrider
Nightrider, nightrider
Nightrider, nightrider
Nightrider, nightrider

Baby, let's get higher, I can be the driver
Straight up to the moon, you know I'm a nightrider

I'm a nightrider, nightrider (I'm a nightrider)
Nightrider, nightrider

Ride with me tonight
Thought you was a rider, don't make me a liar
Slide with me tonight
I know where you reside, you can meet me outside

I'm a nightrider, nightrider (I'm a nightrider)
Nightrider, nightrider (I'm a nightrider)
Nightrider, nightrider (I'm a nightrider)
Nightrider, nightrider

Baby, let's get higher (Higher), I can be the driver (Driver)
Straight up to the moon, you know I'm a nightrider

I'm a nightrider, nightrider (I'm a nightrider)
Nightrider, nightrider




Nightrider, I'm a nightrider
Nightrider, I'm a nightrider, yeah

Overall Meaning

Arizona Zervas’s “Nightrider” is a song about his love for the night, and how it makes him come alive. The lyrics suggest that Zervas enjoys spending his nights out with a special someone, escaping reality and feeling free. The lyrics are also suggestive of a drug-infused night out, where Zervas is mixing Hennessy with white wine to get the mood right.


The chorus of “Nightrider” is a call to action, where Zervas asks his lover to come and ride with him, while he drives them straight to the moon. The lyrics hint at the possibility of driving a motorcycle, with references to a Harley and twisting the right wrist, while also suggesting that Zervas could be high on drugs due to the line “flight risk when I twist the right wrist.”


One of the most interesting aspects of this song is that it was produced in Arizona Zervas’s basement. It was a part of his Soundcloud project which he started as a hobby. Within a year, his music reached mainstream audiences, and he signed with Columbia Records. “Nightrider” is an excellent example of Zervas’s ability to create catchy hooks and melodies, that make listeners tap their feet and nod their heads along.
