Under the Bridges
Niki & the Dove Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Then you make a right
Down at the car rentals and the tar decks
You don't go after dark, but that summer
You said M, there's something I really want to show you
Put your coat on, I'll wait downstairs
You're not gonna believe it
To the nights, when we met, under the bridges
When we dance, it takes me back
To the nights under the bridges
Jenni said I don't wanna go home yet,
They always pull a fight
Ooh baby you're just like a nightbird,
You'll take off and fly
Ooh but that summer, that summer
I swore to never let you down
When we dance, it takes me back again
To the nights, when we met, under the bridges
When we dance, it takes me back
To the nights under the bridges
Oh oh oh oh
We are storming under, under the bridges, oh oh oh
It takes me back, it takes me back
It takes me back, oh oh when we dance
Under the bridges,
It takes me back again,
To the nights, when we met, under the bridges
When we dance, takes me back
To the nights under the bridges
The lyrics of “Under the Bridges” by Niki & the Dove describe a journey to a specific location, where a special memory occurred between two people. The beginning of the song references a tunnel where someone named Jenni used to live, before turning right and passing by car rentals and tar decks. The setting is not the most inviting, as it is stressed that one should not go there after dark. However, the singer of the song is taken there by someone with the promise of showing them something special. The last verse before the chorus reveals that this is a memory shared between two people who are dancing and reliving the past.
The chorus emphasizes the power of dancing to bring back memories of the times spent under the bridges. There is an element of nostalgia in the song, as the past is being revisited and treasured. The lyrics imply that there was a certain magic that existed for these two people, which could only be brought back through dancing.
Overall, "Under the Bridges" is a song about reliving cherished memories through dancing, with the location serving as a reminder of this special connection. It's a powerful song that captures the essence of nostalgia and the joy that comes with reliving past memories.

Through the tunnel where Jenni used to live in
We travel through the tunnel that led to Jenni's old home
Then you make a right
Take a right turn once you exit the tunnel
Down at the car rentals and the tar decks
After taking the right turn, we reach a place with car rentals and tarred decks
You don't go after dark, but that summer
It's not safe to visit this place after dark, but during that summer...
You said M, there's something I really want to show you
You told me that there's something very important that you want to show me
Put your coat on, I'll wait downstairs
You asked me to put on my coat while you waited downstairs
You're not gonna believe it
You assured me that what you were about to show me was unbelievable
When we dance, it takes me back again
Dancing together makes me relive those memories again
To the nights, when we met, under the bridges
We remember the nights when we first met each other under the bridges
Jenni said I don't wanna go home yet, They always pull a fight
Jenni didn't want to go home yet because there would be a fight waiting for her
Ooh baby you're just like a nightbird, You'll take off and fly
You were like a nightbird who was always ready to leave and explore new things
Ooh but that summer, that summer, I swore to never let you down
But during that summer, I promised myself that I would never disappoint you
We are storming under, under the bridges, oh oh oh
We are intensely moving under the bridges
It takes me back, it takes me back, To the nights under the bridges
Those experiences revive and bring me back to the nights under the bridges
When we dance, takes me back, To the nights under the bridges
Dancing together took me back to the unforgettable nights under the bridges
