Night Rider
Draper feat. Phoebe Ray Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's something building in the air.
I can feel it, I can feel it.
It's pressing down on me and I can barely breathe.
Oh can you feel it?

And I'm surrounded everywhere.
I can feel it, I can feel it.
It's creeping up on me but what I just can't say.
Oh say you feel it.

I'm falling into this unknown.
Can you feel it, can you feel it?
There's nothing I can do but give in to the pain.

And then the bass, kicks in.
And then the bass, kicks in.
And then the bass, kicks in.
And then the bass.
Bass kicks in. (Bass kicks in)
I can take it. (Take it)
And now I lose control. (Control)
I can shake it. (Shake it)

Can't fight it anymore.
In this almighty realm.

I'm falling into this unknown.
Can you feel it, can you feel it?
There's nothing I can do but give in to the pain.

And then the bass, kicks in.
And then the bass, kicks in.
And then the bass, kicks in.
And then the bass.
Bass kicks in. (Bass kicks in)
I can take it. (Take it)
And now I lose control. (Control)
I can shake it. (Shake it)

I can feel it.
Yeah I can feel it.
Yeah I can feel it.
I can feel it.
Yeah I can feel it.
I can feel it.
There's nothing I can do but give in to the pain.

And then the bass.
And then the bass.
And then the bass.
And then the bass.
Bass kicks in.
And then the bass, kicks in.
And then the bass, kicks in.
And then the bass, kicks in.
And then the bass.
Bass kicks in. (Bass kicks in)
I can take it. (Take it)
And now I lose control. (Control)
I can shake it. (Shake it)

And as the crowd begins to fade.
It's left me breathless, left me helpless wanting more.
But just as quickly as it came.




It disappears and I'm left lying on the floor.
But I still feel it.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Draper feat. Phoebe Ray's song Night Rider convey a sense of anticipation and excitement as something builds in the air. There's an overwhelming feeling of pressure that's making it hard to breathe, but the singer is surrounded by it, unable to escape. The unknown is coming and she's falling into it, helpless to fight it. As the bass kicks in, she loses control and can't fight the pain anymore. Eventually, the experience fades away, but the singer is left with the memory and longing for more.


The lyrics of Night Rider can be interpreted in different ways, but the most obvious one is about the experience of being at a concert or a party where the music is so loud, and the atmosphere so intense, that it takes over your body and mind. You can feel the energy building up in the air, and you know something big is going to happen. When the bass kicks in, it's like an explosion that sets you free from your limitations, so you can lose yourself in the music and dance until you drop. But, as with any intense experience, it can't last forever, and when it's over, you're left feeling spent, but still under the spell of it.
