Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Into this house, we're born
Into this world, we're thrown
Like a dog without a bone
An actor out on loan
Riders on the storm
There's a killer on the road
His brain is squirmin' like a toad
Take a long holiday
Let your children play
If you give this man a ride
Sweet family will die
Killer on the road, yeah

Girl, you gotta love your man
Girl, you gotta love your man
Take him by the hand
Make him understand
The world on you depends
Our life will never end
Gotta love your man, yeah

Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Into this house, we're born
Into this world, we're thrown
Like a dog without a bone
An actor out on loan
Riders on the storm

Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm




Riders on the storm

Overall Meaning

The song "Riders on the Storm" is a haunting and poetic meditation on the end of life, the inevitability of death, and the power of love. The opening lines are a powerful statement about the human condition: "Riders on the storm, into this house we're born, into this world we're thrown, like a dog without a bone, an actor out on loan." The metaphor of human life as a journey is a common one in literature, and here it is extended to the idea that we are all in a storm, riding through a world that is often dangerous, unpredictable, and chaotic. The image of being "like a dog without a bone" suggests a feeling of emptiness, a sense of aimlessness and lack of purpose. The reference to being an "actor out on loan" reinforces this idea of a lack of control in one's life, as if we are all just players in a larger drama.
