Ride A White Horse
Goldfrapp Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Now, take me dancing
At the Disco
Where you buy your
Winnebago
I wanna ride on a white horse
I want to ride on a white horse

When the light turns into darkness
Will he turn up to explain us?
I wanna ride on a white horse
I want to ride on a white horse

Lend me a whole new world
All night
Feel life
When is there ever sense
To love
This world?

In the whirlpool
We'll go deeper
In this world that's
Getting cheaper
I wanna ride on a white horse
I want to ride on a white horse

I like dancing
At the disco
I want blisters
You're my leader
I wanna ride on a white horse
I want to ride on a white horse

Oh, I love this feeling
Feels like forever
Oh, I love this feeling




Feels like real
Leather

The final verse suggests that the singer is enjoying the excitement and danger of their new experiences, likening it to the feeling of "real leather."

She reminds me of one of the singers in Ladytron. I suggest you listen to the song Play girl by Ladytron.
