Night Rider
DreamWake Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I say I'm falling to another low and you should really stay
But not tonight, you placed my feelings on the shelf
Another lie to feed into the flame eventually
Don't fall asleep on me
Oh, how did you fail to mention your lack of commitment?
Leave me here to burn
I don't know you anymore, wish I could make it to the door
Remain to sit here in the flames, your life means everything to me
You're breaking down the walls (All the love I gave, gone in an instant)
That hold me through it all (You've strayed so far away)
This tunnel vision guides me through the storm
A life reborn
Another victim to reform
Give me time to understand just all the faults you think I have
I'm a monster and a menace who pretends to see your decency
I don't know you anymore, wish I could make it to the door
Remain to sit here in the flames, your life means everything to me
Far and far away where you can't see
lies a sacred place, escape from reality
Into the setting sun, forgetting the life that makes me come undone
The lyrics to DreamWake's song "Night Rider" describe a tumultuous relationship where the singer is "dreaming in another world where I can be away," implying that they want to escape the relationship. The singer accuses their partner of being uncommitted and leaving them to "burn." They describe themselves as a "monster and a menace" who is unable to appreciate their partner's "decency," indicating that they may have caused harm in the relationship. Despite all of this, the singer still values their partner's life and remains in the relationship, even if they wish they could leave.
The chorus describes the emotional turmoil of the relationship, with the singer feeling like their love has been "gone in an instant." The bridge implies that the singer may have been hurt by their partner's actions in the past, and they want to understand all of the faults that their partner sees in them. The final lines suggest that there may be a chance for the singer to escape and "forget the life that makes me come undone," but it is unclear if they will take that opportunity or remain in the relationship.
Overall, "Night Rider" portrays a complex relationship filled with love, pain, and a desire to escape. The lyrics are emotional and raw, giving insight into the singer's inner struggles and exposing the issues that exist within their relationship.
