B.O.R.A Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She took the midnight train goin' anywhere
Just a city boy, born and raised in south Detroit
He took the midnight train goin' anywhere
A singer in a smokey room
A smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on
Strangers waiting, up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night, night
Streetlights, people, living just to find emotion
Hiding, somewhere in the night
Just a small town girl, livin' in a lonely world
She took the midnight train goin' anywhere
Just a city boy, born and raised in south Detroit
He took the midnight train goin' anywhere
A singer in a smokey room
A smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on
Strangers waiting, up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night, night
Streetlights, people, living just to find emotion
Hiding, somewhere in the night
The lyrics to “Don’t Stop” by B.O.R.A are a tribute to the classic rock anthem “Don’t Stop Believing” by Journey. The song begins with the story of a small town girl and a city boy who both take the midnight train to escape their mundane lives in search of something more. The verse describes how they both end up in a smokey room filled with the smell of wine and cheap perfume - an environment that represents the temporary escape from reality. The chorus kicks in and a larger picture is painted, as strangers wait up and down the boulevard, searching for something they can’t find. The street lights and people all seem to be living just to find emotion, which represents the fact that we all strive to feel something more in life than what we currently have. The song concludes with the repetition of the chorus and the line “Don’t Stop Believing”, urging listeners to never give up hope in the search for what they are looking for.
